Don't understand though why Diamine would release 3 very similar blue shade ink with monster sheening even though each one is store exclusive

Diamine doesn’t “release” the colours: they are commissioned by the store or group that will be marketing/selling the ink. The commissioners/sellers make the final decision about colour, behaviour, saturation, etc. There are plenty of other exclusives around that are not blue.

 

Sailor and Oster also make many exclusives. Some of those are very similar to each other.

Oh I see, all along I thought it was Diamine themselves that determines what color will be issued and then distributed to the sellers, makes a lot of sense if that is the case.

thanks for this post...I need Maureen. Thanks to migo for the comparison. Since It's different than the others 2 which I already have, I will grab a bottle but since I live overseas is not going to be cheap!

Lovely UK friend sent me a sample of Robert... Is weird... I cannot get the purple side... it only looks green, and not a sheeny green but a "matte" green.

Is interesting for sure... I really thought it could replace my Sweet Potato Purple which I only have one bottle and not planning to get more, but this is LOADS of green and not much purple.

 

Will take a pic later...

Strange. I get a nice balance of purple ink & green-gold sheen (see photo in post #4).

OOOH Tommy!

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

"Some of those are very similar to each other." I bought Hogado and Kobe inks and have the impression that they are more than very similar to Sailor inks.They are identical ... The buyer ends up purchasing inks that he could have acquired at cheaper prices. Something that's legal is not necessarily moral. But morality and business rarely mix well.

Rebranding ink is not uncommmon.

Does something in the inks' marketing say that they are unique?

Thanks to an amazingly generous benefactor, I can vouch for the amazing beauty of the "Robert" (deep dark red-violet), and its exceptional gold-green sheen. A most interesting ink!

Maybe Maureen is a renamed version of the other two for the general population. Skull and Jalur are both difficult for most people to get.

 

​Robert is the one I'm interested in. I have tested Skull and it's very very similar to two other sheening blue inks I own - Akkerman Shocking Blue and Organics Nitrogen Blue. I would love it if they made a light blue or light teal with red/pink sheen but apparently having 10 inks with almost identical color/sheen is good for the market ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

They are all in different Markets. It makes no sense if you are going to chase them all, but since most people don't, then is ok if they are kind of similar.

      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
