If you had to choose 5 diamine inks to represent the brand what would you choose?

 

Im currently looking to buy a twsbi eco with some diamine inks and alt goldgrun and am having a hard time deciding. This should help!

The inks I have chosen so far are:

 

  1. Autumn Oak
  2. Oxblood
  3. Maybe sherwood green
  4. One of the turquoise colors

I have my Eco (with stub nib) inked with Diamine Asa Blue now and it is amazing! It really stands out. Ultra Green would have a similar effect in the green family, as well as Imperial Purple if you like purple. So many great inks in that brand, it's hard to go wrong in my opinion.

Imperial Purple, or Imperial Blue

Two of my faves are Schubert and Tchakovsky, which were part of the music set. You can buy them separately in 30 ml bottles on Diamine's website now, though. :)

Does it show shading? I was planning to go with Mediterranean for the lighter color

Sadly I am going to order from the writing desk (cheaper shipping) and they dont offer those :/

First choice as always the amazingly reliable and nicely coloured Midnight. After that, the order varies with time (not only because of my own changing preferences but also due to the launching of new inks by Diamine). At the moment it is: Blue Velvet, Silver Fox, Ochre, Salamander.

I have decided to get the following

 

  1. Autumn Oak
  2. Oxblood
  3. Sherwood green
  4. R&K Alt Goldgrun

I need help deciding on a bright blue/ turquoise ink. One that shades well would be awesome.

I like asa blue a lot but I wanted something far from the blue school inks I was forced to use for many years.. (lamy blue)

 

Eau de Nil looks nice but is a bit too green. Havasu, Mediterranean, Aqua, Florida look nice color wise..

I have Blue Black, Classic Red,Steel Blue and Sherwood Green. I have a sample of Saddle Brown in a pen right now. Very seriously considering getting a bottle.

      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
