For reference, the mini fade tests are here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/250572-all-diamine-inks-mini-fade-test/

 

And I will scan and share the water tests Real Soon Now™, but if you know Diamine inks you will know there isn't much to it….

cybaea,

My goodness, what a wonderful comparison. To see the inks grouped like that and to see them all together. I know it took a long time to do that. I am new to fountain pens, inks and paper. I had no idea Diamine had so many ink colors. This will help everyone but new folks like me will now have a direction to go to look for new inks. I have not purchased Diamine before, however, I will be looking at them now.

Thank you so much.

Then your up-keep.

 

May be your Down-falll!!!

Thanks for putting this together--I'm going to have to try more of these than I thought. Aside from Saragossa Sea, are there any others with a sheen or halo?

You are most welcome.

 

The ultimate resource on 'sheeny' inks is this monster thread: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/198510-inks-with-a-sheen/ and my quick answer is in #27 in this thread.

Oh thank you so much for all the work. It's really helpful that you grouped them by color.

 

Btw, for some reason I like better the scans of the stock cartridge paper.

Me too.

Just wonderful. Thank you so much - that's an incredibly useful resource. Bookmarked.

 

I'm a bit - no, very - jealous; it's a fantastic collection, and it must have been such fun making this record!

Don't know how I missed this before, it is so very useful!

 

As a keen Diamine user with 80 colours still to go it is wonderful to have a complete set of consistent scans as a guide when selecting more to try. I have 5 more on the way. Five because Cult Pens now do the 30ml bottles at £2.35 and you need to spend £10 to get free delivery. (no connection etc. etc.)

      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
