As Members are quite quick to point-out variations due to 'wobble' and/or reformulation, one can do their own assessment by checking the Inky Thoughts and Ink Review Fora for such variations subsequent to the date of the recipe. Perhaps the most significant thing is that those who want to follow a recipe should be aware that if it includes ink prone to batch variation then the recipe may not turn out as intended. (Due to reformulation of some inks to be REACH-compliant, a goodly number of my recipes became defunct. Those can be used as comparison exemplars for any subsequent ink purchases, so if there is batch variation, one will know that the recipe needs a do-over. If there is concern about batch variation, kindly consider holding back a wee vial of the source inks from the blending process.
