It seems Diamine enjoys celebrating its anniversary. This year they added another eight inks to their line of 150th anniversary inks.



The inks are sold in nice and quitye comfortable in use triangular bottles.

Purple Dream is quite plesant ink. It behaves well on most papers and offers satisfying flow. There's no water resistance so if you prefer your inks to cope well with water/tea/coffee spills look elsewhere.

One of my favourites of the batch.

If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in character. If there is beauty in character, There will be harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

Reminds me of the MB Lavender. Thanks for another great review.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Thanks for the review. I like purples. But maybe I like them too much....

Review is excellent (as always). Colour is okay. Bottle is terrible.

I mean, if they're all that **** hot about their anniversaries, why not just pop back to their good ol' original 80-ml or AFAIC half-pint variety bottles thereof. An' don' you gimme none o' yo' **** about their not being able to find a manufacturer....

I don't know why I don't have more diamine 150th. I only have blue velvet right now and it is genuinely one of the smoothest writing inks I've ever used, probably one of the best blues on the market.

The bottles were meant for that cool carousel that you can't actually buy :rolleyes:

I agree. I'd probably buy more if it came in the 80mL bottles.

Right! We discussed this at the time those weirdos came out. My suggestion was that we needed a Lazy Susan for them. I'm limited in space, and round or square bottles would fill up more ink in such boxes.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
