Diamine Gold And Silver With Frankenflex

For the cost of the pen customisation money isn’t really an issue. Okay, it needs instant cleaning afterwards! But for the freeform calligraphic effect of the Diamine Silver and Gold on black paper… I reckon it’s worth it! The inks are lovely but are NOT designed for fountain pens. What I have done is customise some cheaper fountain pens with zebra G nibs and am using them as fountain pen/dip pens. This allows the feed cannel to be used as an ink reservoir. The nib and feed clog quite quickly so I have to work efficiently and clean the pens thoroughly after use. I'm really pushing the pen here, but its when you push the limits, new and interesting things start to happen.

I never heard of Diamine Gold and Silver, so I am guessing these are calligraphic inks... ;)

These are indeed calligraphic inks AND another top tip - you can add them to fountain pen inks and make your own shimmer inks!

They seem nicer than R&K Gold and Silver inks. With those two I have to keep shaking them, or the pigment settles down very quickly.

I bought the Diamine gold and it's beautiful, but I do have to shake it while working with it, because it separates quite quickly. I think it's just the nature of the beast

      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
