In 2014 Diamine released their 150th Anniversary Ink series to commemmorate their 150 year existence (1864-2014). The set consists of 8 interesting colors, some of which are really stunning. A very fine way to celebrate a birthday, and much appreciated by us inkaholics. The presentation is also well thought-out : triangular ink bottles, that together form a circle. The set consists of the following inks (with links to full reviews):

The 150th anniversary ink series gives you a nice mix of colors. Below you find a quick sample to get an idea of the available colors:

Other useful information can be found in the chromatographies of these inks. This gives you an idea of the ink's complexity and number of dyes used in its composition. You also get an idea of the ink's water resistance. The more water soluble dyes are found at the top of the chromatography - the water-resistent parts at the bottom. The bottom of the picture gives a good idea of what remains of the ink when exposing it to water. And these chromatographies are also just nice-looking representations of the ink's character. Enjoy...

Thanks for the comparison. I really love Terra Cotta. Still trying to make up my mind about the blues and about Silver Fox.

      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
