Diamine Royal Blue In A Sheaffer Snorkel

[newkid12]

Hello,

 

Has anyone used Diamine Royal Blue ink in a vintage Sheaffer Snorkel? What has your experience been like? Were there any issues with ink flow or pen clogging? Any information would be appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Yes, I've used Diamine Royal Blue pretty much exclusively in a Snorkel since late 2009. Flow's never been an issue or clogging. It's been a very well behaved ink in every pen I've used, with the exception of a Platinum Preppy that only seemed to like Platinum ink.

Thank you for that information.

No problem, I hope you enjoy your Snorkel, they're great pens.

I've had no issues with Diamine inks in general in Snorkels and PFMs. You'll find that Diamine makes a reliable brand of ink that I find to be generally wet. It's usually easy to clean, but some of the higher dye loads may cause staining. This won't be a problem in your Snorkel because there's nothing to stain! Fortunately, Diamine offers nearly 200 colors--you should always be able to find something that you like.
