Cool experiment! Wonder if anyone has any experience using this ink back in the day to compare.
I love the Miffy goes to Isengard drawing.

Thank you. The building behind Miffy ("Nijntje") is the Dom Tower in Utrecht. It is the hometown of Miffy's author Dick Bruna, as well as mine :)
I haven't used Skrip in a long time, but this sort of tracks with what I recall about fresher bottles or the "true cylinder" old-school cartridges. Good color, but very thin and liable to bleed through anything. I think the idea was to make it fairly easy on pens despite the saturated color.
I really like the design of that ink. You don't see much yellow packaging nowadays.
Wow 20 years old, so cool to see ink from the 70s/80s....... wait.
Might be containing lead.....
Yep, you never know what kind of wild stuff they threw in back then. By the same reasoning, 30 years from now we will be saying "I can't believe they really put xxx in yyy".
I'm saying this because lead is toxic, and since this is ink it'll easily get on your hands and might enter your blood and you'll get poisoned
Thanks for your concern. I only used this ink once to try. What I meant is that we might have some things in our current products that will be considered toxic in a few decades, just like old stuff might have lead in it which we now think is unhealthy. Just a thought that bubbled up.
Yeah that's how it usually works, I'd be more concerned if they didn't find anything
I have three bottles of this: black, blue and peacock blue. Peacock blue is fantastic with dip pens and I have a Delta pen filled with it. I bought them in 1990, so 34 years ago.
Ah, nice to know when you got them!
