I present to test the ink Diamine 150th Anniversary Safari of cool rotten-green color. Ink very nicely written on paper is good and pleasant autumn color. The ink was developed to celebrate the 150 th anniversary of the company Diamine. The series consists of 8 new colors not available in the standard palette, packaged in a triangular bottle that set the sides together form a closed circle. I would recommend.




Manufacturer: Diamine


Series, colour: 150th Anniversary Safari


Pen: Waterman Hemisphere, nib "F"


Paper: Image Volume (80 g / m2)



Specifications:


Flow rate: good


Lubrication: good


Bleed through: unnoticeable


Shading: noticeable


Feathering: unnoticeable


Saturation: very good

I read your posts. Do you have any favorites ;)

 

 

 

My favorites are the dark murky type... :wub: :wub:

 

Safari is not dark, but is a murky kind of green. With a hint of brown it would be even more murkier.. :D :D

 

 

Thanks so much for your reviews... they are fantastic and straight to the point. :)

I liked this color, and am a fan of Diamine inks, but it seemed pretty dry in my Italix Churchman's Prescriptor with a broad stub, which is a wet writer.

My favorite of the bunch... :puddle: :puddle:

 

LOL, it's the only one I didn't buy for me. C loves those murky greens and hates Blueish greens. I love bluish greens and am not a fan of murky colors.

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

Thanks Vaibhav for the nice review and nice colour. Somewhat similar to Sailor Gentle Epinard, it seems.

 

Yes I think that the Terracotta would also be an interesting color.

Where have you bought the Safari from? India?

      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
