There's an high amount of eagerness to "just use somebody else's code to fix my problem". Which has some good, and some bad

Yeah… was a lovely not-too-warm brown that does not have the red dye that crystallize when let it dry out in it.

As every other Warerman ink: extremely well behaved and you could put it in vintage pens, even the one with rubber bladders, without thinking twice bout it.

As somebody born in the first half of 199X, I feel it in my bones thank you.

probably a skim linking service of some kind 🙄

Maybe Vox Media can earn a few pennies that way.

Who knowns what is going on at Waterman especially since they are own by Rubbermaid which is owned by Newell brands.

This was probably decided by people in suits that have no clues about anything.

Waterman has had a "havane brown" or "waterman brown" ink in its line up since at least the 50's!

Wouldn’t I want what?

Trackpad. Like a laptop trackpad. If possible a surface with a texture on it, not glossy, no display

For the turbonerds, here's the Kodak datasheet of what this is a respool of:

It's an AN-6 film. Note that they do condone C-41 processing, and they even expect you to change contrast by varying dev time. Which is unusual

For the nerds: this is "scanned" with a DSLR on a copy stand. A Canon 850D with an old 50mm sigma lens

The film is illuminated by a CineStill CSLite on the recommended "warm" setting, white point set to 3200K, an zero corrections applied.

Those are Canon RAWs exported as is from DarkTable

Thing that is very surprising: How the heck does it look this good if you treat it as a 50 "ISO" Tungsten balanced slide film?!

11 dollars a roll!

For added context: This is a color NEGATIVE emulsion designed to be shot from planes. It is normally sold on big like, 9 inch rolls or whatever

Does not have the usual orange mask from residual couplers...

It is often cut and repacked as 135 and 120 format. Sold as 100 speed daylight print film

Sometimes I think we need a time machine and go to the guy that had the *brilliant* idea of enclosing a RTC battery inside a chip and be like

"Dude, bad idea. Please. Do not do."
