Ink Fix #18 was also the only Ink Fix released in 2021. It was a tough year for all, with lockdowns, outbreaks and tragedies par for the course. We had the blues something bad, and so did this release.
Featured inks in Ink Fix #18 were (from top to bottom in the above picture):
(Vintage) Waterman Florida Blue
The classic royal blue
Sodapop by Starry Ink Vilot Pop
Shady, chromo-pink blue
Pennonia PokoltŰz
Deep navy with red sheen
芸景堂 (Yun Jingtang) 天璇 (Tiānxuán)
Sheening teal blue with gold shimmer
Visconti Turquoise
Popping bright turquoise
Taccia Jeans Collection #7 Aqua Blue
A pastel-y pale blue-grey
芸景堂 (Yun Jingtang) 行露 (Xínglù)
A dual-shading aqua
Yun Jingtang inks (sometimes abbreviated YJT on their own packaging) might be new to you— their fascinating concoctions recently become a constant in Max’s ‘currently inked’ list, and the brand shows up twice in this Ink Fix!
These inks are difficult to obtain outside of China even when there isn’t a worldwide mail/shipping crisis because of a pandemic, but we’re delighted to have been able to share some of them… and keen to share even more very soon 🤐
