Hello.

 

Nice review, I just got this ink for my new pen. However, I'm using 80gm paper and finding that it bleeds through quite heavily (so I can't use the other side). Feathering appears to be less of an issue. What "weight"/quality of paper do you need to stop the bleed-through happening?

 

Thank you.

Nice review, I'm a big fan of Diamine inks and find them to be a very wet but smooth ink.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

love the comparison with Heart of Darkness, which is (in my opinion) pure black.. i notice the very subtle hint of blue/grey when you have the smear at the bottom..

 

But this does look like a great ink.. which i may just have to pick up for my next purchase.. love the name as well.. "Onyx" black

Patience is a virtue when waiting for the right pen... although I do just always seem to miss them

Don't worry, found the answer myself (nothing to do with weight, used better quality 80g and it was fine :thumbup:).

 

I also echo the OP in that it's a lovely deep black (one of the deepest I've seen) but the drying times are a tad long. Thanks for the comparison with Noodler's "Heart of Darkness", I'm glad I chose the Diamine :thumbup: (looking at the comparison, Noodler's appears too "brownish" to my eye - but that could just be my display)...

      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
