Here's the ink review for the second ink vial I received from Jared: Diamine Midnight. All in all, thanks for the two ink vials, Jared.

Anybody know where to buy Midnight in these United States?

 

Thanks.

All things work out in the end. If it is not working out, it is not the end.

Thanks for posting the review. I haven't found it to bleed through on the Clairefontaine paper I'm using but it does on my Miguelrius.

It's not available in the US. You can buy directly from Diamine.

Thank you very much for your nice review. It is a lovely, dark blue!

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

Please use only my FPN name "Gran" in your posts. Thanks very much!

Just ordered my bottle today, as well as another 30mL bottle of Diamine Sapphire Blue.

The Writing Desk (no affiliation, etc.) seems to have them even cheaper than buying direct from Diamine. I recently bought some R&K inks from them and shipping was super-fast.

I definitely love your writing, I just hope it wouldn't mean that this ink would look a disappointment in my scribble. Hmmm, 15% off Diamine sale, I'm tempted, very tempted.

To confirm Silverminks post: indeed the Writing Desk does sell Diamine cheaper than Diamine.uk even with their 15%. This is Writing Desk's everyday price. They are an excellent source for ink and cheaper to buy from than most, even if you live in the USA.

The image has been replaced by "posted image" in letters, at least from my Pc.

 

Thanks to Rogerb I've had the chance to test this ink and is a great subdued dark blue which behaves very well. Nice review and hand.

Imageshack replaced the scanned Diamine Midnight with a blank page. Odd...

 

Anyways, I've just upload the image again.

 

Enjoy

Got my bottle today. The purple hint after the water test is slightly evident when writing. However, it dries to a wonderful dark blue which is much better behaved than Diamine Majestic. But in all seriousness, I need to get the 80ml bottle soon. It's great!

Signum and Henry, did you order from the UK? Stylus told me they did not have it when I asked, six or eight weeks ago.

 

Rather, just Henry--I see looking back that Signum got a vial . . .

I ordered mine directly from Diamine, along with another bottle of Sapphire blue.

 

The ink is darker than I expected... A wonderful color.

Dear Signum1,

 

Could you give me a more detailed name for the Domtar 32lb paper you use for your reviews. Your reviews seem to indicate that most inks dry very quickly on your paper. This is a big issue for me, since I am left-handed. Thanks.

Vectorbundle,

 

Domtar 32 lbs paper is carried in Staples stores located in Canada. Here is the link: Domtar 32lbs paper.

 

If you are in the U.S., the Staples stores in the U.S. would carry HP 32 lbs paper because they don't stock the Domtar 32lbs paper. Here is the link: HP 32lbs paper.

 

If you insist on using the Domtar 32lb paper, visit your local print shop that makes invoices and letterheads and request for a special order of the Domtar FirstChoice EarthChoice ColorPrint Premium Laser Paper, 8 1/2" x 11". Before you commit to buying a case, ask the print shop for a sample sheet to test your fountain pen first.

 

I know one FPN member ordered a case of this Domtar 32lb paper from his local print shop.

FYI -- I have purchased a number of different Diamine inks from Appointments in Cincinnati. And I know they ship orders, as I just received a Lamy 2000 with an X-Fine nib that they shipped to me here in Eastern Indiana. Or if you prefer, you can also order it from Amazon.

      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
