Akkerman Inks Are Their Possible Diamine Counterparts

[Floreat]

Apologies if this has been asked before, but I have often heard that Akkerman inks may be made by Diamine and so some of the Akkerman injs have Diamine counterparts. This would be really useful for buying refills for my lovely Akkerman bottles when I run out.

 

Is there a list anywhere of Diamine-Akkerman equivalents please? Or does anyone know which may be the "same" inks?

 

Many thanks,

Anna

From other threads, it appears that all Diamine Akkerman made inks are different. Not quite so wooly lined/feathery as Diamine and a tad different in hue.

Akkerman is it's own variant of Diamine.

Many close, but different enough, in most's opinion of those with both.

I've heard Akkerman Diep Duinwaterblauw and Diamine Twilight are awfully similar....

I don't think you will ever get a definitive answer that this Akkerman is that Diamine.

And Diamine may be supplying a custom mix to Akkerman (if they are supplying Akkerman). For example Diamine grey is lighter than Akkerman grey to me.

 

 

However there is nothing wrong with refilling your bottle with whatever you think is the closest match.

You can open the Akkerman Ink details here: http://www.fp-ink.info/en/ and then look in the similar colors for Diamine Inks, should be pretty close if it's the same ink

Dirty drawers, number 23 is very similar to Diamine chocolate brown
