Diamine Inks Review


NickiStew

Recommended Posts

These are some of the Diamine inks I’m using for the Illuminating Beasts workshops. I haven’t tested these before, but if you’ve seen my earlier post, they are great for art based projects as well as handwriting. They all blend with each other superbly and the colours are just so vivid! See the image of Hendrix where I’ve used all 8 inks. Another outcome unique to fountain pen inks! What’s not to like?

Diamine Denim – an deep blue grey ink that blends easily with water and gradates evenly with subtle hints of turquoise at the edges. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon gold. An easy to use writing ink with an even colour and great flow.

Diamine Turquoise – an uneven electric blue that blends easily with water, gradating evenly with no hidden hues. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white gold. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow.

Diamine Majestic Purple – an uneven purple that blends easily with water with subtle pink hues in the lighter areas. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white gold. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow.

Diamine Hope Pink – a deep rich pink that doesn’t blend too easily with water. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white gold. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow. Vivid colour, very pretty. Interestingly when used on the image Hendrix image, it’s very dominant always fighting bits way to the top and creating new colours in the process. Try it out.

Diamine Raw Sienna – a deep uneven brown that blends easily with water, gradates evenly with very subtle hints of turquoise at the edges. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white gold. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow.

Diamine Apple Glory – a translucent green that blends easily with water and gradates in the swash unevenly. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow.

 

Diamine Sunshine Yellow – a gorgeous uneven yellow that blends easily with water and gradates in the wash unevenly. Reacts easily with bleach turning a neon white. So bright and happy and so easy to use. A great find. An easy to use writing ink with an uneven colour and great flow.

      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
