Connoisseurs! And ink connoisseurs have many things in common with discerning oenologists. As with wine-sampling sessions, in a certain sense the creation of a new ink or colour is a special moment when the ink is "tasted", submitted to different tests and assessed for quality like a vintage wine.

As you can notice ink is much more than a just a colour, it makes a world of difference.
