This is a stunning colour even just in the bottle - please play with it in sunlight when you get yours - it is magical!

Thanks for the review.

This one seems to be really similar to the reformulated Herbin Rouge Hematite (I don't have that version -- I have the older stuff with the big flakes).

This one is another "maybe" ink for me.

ETA: Hate what Diamine called this one. Sounds like a stripper name....

:lticaptd: I will never see it in the same way again. I haven't tried the Rouge Haematite having recently discovered mine to have a dark gunge at the bottom that I thought (prayed, hoped...) would be gold flakes. I hate it, and I am a lover of red inks! 2 bottles Ruth! I will say that this is NOT red at all, more a warm burnt orange beautifully complimented with the gold shimmer.

Nice! And, this one goes on The List. Behind Lightning, but running neck-and-neck with Golden Sands.

You are in for a lovely treat. They are all so different and special in their own right.

My favourite among these inks so far.

It is glorious. I am glad you like it.

I wanted to add a couple of comparison pictures to emphasise the warmth of the brown. I am a great fan of Diamine's Ancient Copper and of course a comparison felt obvious and allayed a curiosity I had. I hope these are of help. The Toffee brown appears far darker than the actual ink on paper!

Thank you so much for the great reviews and for sharing the comparison swabs - that is really helpful :)

 

Hi Feathers (love the name and avatar!). Thank you for your kind words. I wanted to add the comparison to clarify the distinctness of this particular ink, I am really glad it has helped.

Oh, thank you! Thank you also for the comparison!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

What I really like about the Shimmertastic inks is that those I have tried I would like even without the shimmer, because the colours are nice. And even though I usually don't go for that kind of thing, I even like the shimmer.

Okay, I used to have the Letter Writers Alliance and The Snail Mail Exchange in here. Somehow, my browsers settings and the forum's settings work together to prevent that from being the case at the moment. Whenever I try to update my signature, the whole process breakls down. So. Whatever.

I love this ink. I wasn't expecting to because metalised inks can be a bit uneven. But it's actually a really nice colour and, on Rhodia, paper quite spectacular. It's near to Rouge Hematite in colour and behaviour, though the Herbin ink is much pinker and a little more subtle in its sheen. I've just ordered a whole bottle after hoovering up a sample and I might start sampling some of the others.

For the uninitiated, Diamine is the Brand? I love the inks, but you rarely get the see, touch, and feel through the internet. They are quite spectacular.

 

Thanks so much.

      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
