Diamine Lavender

Ink: Diamine – Lavender

Pens Used: Stipula Passaporto (M) and Lamy Safari (broad)

Paper: Georgia Pacific Premium Bright Paper (90g/m^2)

This ink is an average purple as far as color goes. Exhibits beautiful saturation and flow. This is one of the few purples that can compete with Mont Blanc Lavender for a go-to purple for everyday use, mostly because when I think of a purple ink, I think of this shade. One of the setbacks is the below average dry time. Also, there was slight feathering on the paper we use in all of our tests.

On the chemical tests, this ink performed below average. The dip test removed most of the ink, but you can barely see what was written there. The drip test also had it’s way with this ink. Also, the bleach worked almost like an eraser on this ink. You cannot tell ink was even on the page where the bleach was applied.

I think you are supposed to post the review here not just a link to your site.

 

I realize you are new AND I could be wrong, but it seems counter to what I perceive as the intention of FPN, to provide as much information about pens, paper, ink and related topics and interests on a single site rather than have us go all over the web checking out individual sites.

“Don't put off till tomorrow what you can do today, because if you do it today and like it, you can do again tomorrow!”

Nice purple ink and nice review :thumbup:, thanks for sharing

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
