Ink Fix #13 Revealed

August 2020 saw Melbourne enter lockdown– again! And Max had A LOT to say about that. Ink Fix #13 was, fundamentally, a themeless ink Fix, with the inks therein tied together by Max’s complaining about lockdown, isolation, people who don’t wear masks, and boredom. It made sense in the moment! Ink Fix #13 contained an ink you can’t get in bottles (what?), limited editions from 2018 and 2019, and two VERY exclusive Japanese inks.

Featured inks in Ink Fix #13 were (from top to bottom in the above picture):

Lamy Violet

A bright violet purple, available in cartridges only

Tono & Lims Strawberry Ice

Pretty pastel pink that manages to still be readable

3 Oysters Americano (2019 Special Edition)

A deep. cool brown

Penne19 Mt. Fuji Sea of Clouds

A purple with a pinkish tint

Troublemaker Inks Petrichor

Green when wet, and blurple when dry

TAG Stationery x Keihan Line Gion Shijo Ukon Yellow

Saturated turmeric yellow

Pelikan Edelstein Ink of the Year 2018 Olivine

Slightly blue-leaning, but definitely green

There was no gift with this month’s box… unless you consider Max’s lockdown commentary comedy gold!
