Diamine Delamere Green (Old English Ink)


I am not a number

Recommended Posts

I was spurred on to buy this ink after reading the excellent review by All My Hues, the initial premise was that I was going to buy it for a friend of mine who I had given some green homebrew to, that not particularly cunning plan fell to pieces within moments of me actually trying the ink. I'm not normally a great fan of green inks that this one pleases me in that it doesn't leap off the page and slap me around the face and it's going to be great for marginalia/annotations as it stands out enough to be noticed but not enough to detract from the text which I'll be using it on.

 

Anyway here's a scan of the review followed by the standard 100% crop.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of nothing at all...

Thanks for the review. This is currently on my "to buy" list. You just helped me confirm that I will be buying it. :)

The color never made it onto my "to buy" list . . . I just went to the Diamine.uk website and bought some . . . and some Claret . . . and some Majestic Purple.

 

I think I need more pens now.

Thank you for the thorough review. :)

May you have pens you enjoy, with plenty of paper and ink. :)

Thanks for the review. Diamine has some wonderful green inks and this is one of my favorites. I used it on my Christmas cards last year. I love this ink.

Thanks for a great review. This will probably be my next ink purchase, as I am developing a serious fondness for Diamine inks and I really like greens.

Just a week after placing an order for some Diamine inks, I see that I'm now compelled to place another order with this Delamere Green as first on the new list! Thanks for the excellent review!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
