My Ink Scans

[Will]

Thought I would put up all my inks on a scan (other than the Private Reserve ones my daughter has). Some of the Diamine inks are from cartridges rather than bottled ink. The paper used was Clairefontaine.

Now that's an interresting post. That gives a great chance to see how inks compare and how much shading some of them have (which i dreadfully hate, especially on those blacks) because of the broad nibs. That is an oustanding piece of work you got there and that rainbow you made is great, cheers to your work.

 

 

Great job on saving me money !

 

 

 

Can't wait for and update with the PR bottles !

OUTSTANDING Scan!!! On my screen, the colors pretty much match perfectly with the inks I have of the same color.

I love your palette! Congratulations for your pied and remarkable collection!!! :clap1:

I second blopplop about the accuracy of the colors (eight of yours in my collection)! Great work!

 

I like to see your "dusty purples" choice: I also have Storm, Poussière de Lune and Damson, and I love them! It seems to me that this last one does not have much success, and few people talk about it..probably due to tha fact that it's so dark, but I have to admit that it's one of my favourite daily inks, and recently won the first run in my new Aurora Optima

 

Thank you very much!

[Will]

Couldn't agree more about the Damson. Its definitely my turn to purple. I love the darkness of it as well - it is one of those cross-over inks that you can use in quite a few situations.

[Chris Chalmers]

Thank you for such care and dedication - your scans are a great help - and I have to admit to owning quite a few of the colours you show!

Damson is indeed a very grown up colour - deep and mysterious!

[Triplet Mom]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to post this! Your color scan is perfectly matched to the actual ink colors and I especially like that you put the colors from darkest to lightest. Very helpful post!

 

Warm regards,

Lynne

IMO, this is one of the best ink comparisons that has been done. Thanks!

[Peter from Sherwood Park]

Thank you for all of these inks!

[TMac]

Will, what a great post! Colors match perfectly on the scan to the colors of several of these I own. This is a good, quick way to see the swab and a writing example.

 

Thanks!

[Will]

Thank you all for the kind comments. I always find it easier to judge an ink by putting it next to one I already know. The list helps me at home to decide the mood that I'm feeling in and what I want to express. I seem to go through seasons of a colour.

I never tire of ink comparison scans. This is a great one! It's got me thinking about my next ink order. Thanks Will.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is a most useful chart. Am always surprised to see how many inks there are. Your scan has answered several questions for me. I appreciate it.

[Breck]

Thanks much. These posts are always appreciated. I need to do one this summer sometime.

 

Really nice color choices, too.

[drifting]

Great job! As others have said, very true to the colours I've got, as well.

 

I love that Stipula Verde Muschatio. I'm going to have to track down a bottle. And I'm always startled at how red Waterman Havana is amongst other browns.

 

Thanks,

 

Ryan.

Wonderful scans! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much! These are really nice and good scans. They helps me a lot.

[Kimmuriel]

Thanks for this great job! It's very useful!

[dizzypen]

This is fabulous! Thank you so much for doing this. I just love the Damson! I already have Wampum, so I'll have to wait until I get through that before I buy it.

Great job! Thanks.
