Diamine Ruby


Bhavna

Recommended Posts

Hello All,

 

A new offering from me. I apologise in advance for the output. Having tried two sets of photos in different lights etc, despite trying to edit to get a white balance, it just is not working. I think I will change to a different paper after these two (Mediterranean Blue to follow!)

When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

So pretty! Your numbers are perfect!

Hi Jenna, Thank you! I'm glad that they are at least resembling the colour of the ink!

The numbers scan in the OP is pretty spot on.

Hi Bhavna,

 

Thank you for another informative review.... your passion for ink really jumps off the page. I was impressed with Ruby and might give her an outing but I shall warn her of my current strong relationship with 'Matador'.....also by Diamine.

Excellent shading. I'm going to start paying more attention to this facet of ink properties. I like when an ink shows good shading and I haven't really payed that much attention, despite most of my pens having B nibs. I have a new red and hope it shades as well as this ink. I'd like to find a red that shows up as red as your poppy. ;)

Another great review, and a very appealing red ink. Thank you for taking the time to prepare and post this.

 

Thank you for your kind words. It is quite an interesting red with lovely characteristics.

You are most welcome, it reminds me of biting into a red cherry, that beautiful red glow!

Hi Falcon,

 

Thank you for your very kind words. Do absolutely give Ruby a whirl, you never know she and Matador may well hit it off - he the strong rugged type, and she the beautiful princess! Oh the other inks are going to be green with envy..! Perhaps we need a group for all who are having 'strong relationships' with their respective ink companies!!

 

Warm regards,

Bhavna

That's a nice color. Thanks for the review. I dunno why, but I love a good red ink.

Thank you - I agree, you can't go wrong with a good red - there are just so many good reds though!!!

Glad you liked this. Have you tried Diamine Poppy for the red you seek..! Or indeed Wild Strawberry. You should have an amazing time with the B nibs. The paper I find, has a great deal to do with the shading too! What red have you got?

Nice review, the ink looks great and so does that paper.

 

Thank you, it is a glorious ink as is the paper - I was very impressed. Alas, it is awful to photograph correctly!

What red have you got?

 

I've tried my Nikita, but it pales in comparison to some other reds. I've tried Iroshizuku persimmon and momiji, but neither are the red I thought they would be, the persimmon being orange and the momiji more of a pink.I have a sample of Diamine Matador and bottle of MB:AH I have yet to try. Hopefully in the next couple days.

I jes tried the Matador in my 1.5 Hero. Wow. Now we're getting somewhere. I have another Hero I'll try the A. Hitchcock in. I'll see if I can get some pics, going, too. Still not as red as yer poppy, Bhavna.

Neat that you say that... Those 2 are my 2 favourite reds of all time. (Skrip's Red is okay.) Sorry, I should have said this first... thanks for a wonderful review of a wonderful red!

Hello! I am sorry you're not having much luck with the reds. I have quite a few and the nearest I have come to my poppy is Diamine's Poppy..! It is rich and fabulous. Also, the J' Herbin 1670 is a delicious red, as is this ruby. By the way, how was the MB AH? I am toying with the idea of trying a bottle - so a heads up would be fabulous. Maybe your turn for a review NotBob?!:thumbup:

      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
