Another great review but sadly not of an ink I'll ever be trying. It's far too pale for me and I need plenty of contrast between paper and ink to be able to read it, irrespective of the colour.

Thank you again. I am sorry it appears pale, all the tweaking of software in the world is not making a drop of difference to show its 'actual' glorious properties. But I completely understand, sometimes it is not worth the aggravation if something is too light. Headaches are not fun! :wacko:

It's not your scan that's the problem at all. Light inks or printed text just aren't that easy for me to read and it's not just something that's developed with age or eyesight per se. At least I don't think so. Maybe just preference.

Of course, I'm only allowed out when the moon's right which might have a little to doooooooooooooooooo with it.

Sorry.

Bhavna,

 

Thanks for your ink review. Like other light colored inks, I like to use the Diamine Amber ink with flexible, broad and stub nibs that can lay lots of ink on paper. I also prefer to use Diamine Amber ink on Ivory colored paper. Those two factors alone can make a huge difference in the final looks of this ink, bringing the Diamine Amber ink to full life and color vibrancy. Here are some writing samples I did about a year ago with think ink, nib and paper combination. Notice the big difference the selection of nib and paper can do to this light colored ink.

Mauricio,

 

Wow, stunning images, and I agree about ivory paper coupled with Amber (and also Diamine's Orange) are just fabulous. Thank you so much for these, they really show up the shading possibilities to this lovely ink!

      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
