Diamine Ancient Copper

[Muncle]

Well now, this is the final of three Diamine inks. And this is by far my favourite, and most interesting of the three. The Denim is pretty good, an alright business-y ink, but nothing particularly enthralling. The Bilberry is very pretty, but doesn't play well with some of my pens. The Copper, on the other hand, is great. It's a handsome ink that doesn't seem to look out of place anywhere. I've had it loaded in a sage Snorkel, and the pairing is quite lovely!

 

All that's left is now to find an ink that pairs the browness-orangeness of copper with the verdigris of actual old copper!

Thanks for review, mine ink is on way

I particularly like the economic commentary with the invisible two-pence piece.

 

This is my only Diamine ink at the moment and it seems to have a weird crusty drying characteristic on the only pen I tested it with, and the color is interesting but I guess I never fell in love with brown, so it sits pretty much unused. Maybe it'll get some more love in the future.

Argh! I completely forgot about that! I had written these a few weeks ago, and finally got a camera to take a picture of them. I was so excited that I forgot to even re-read them and add important details like that.

 

Whoops!

 

The crustiness has happened with mine too. It comes off easily, and it has never clogged the pen.

I quite like the orange tint to this, thanks for the review.

In spite of the warnings about this ink's weird tendency to encrust a nib, I like the color enough to try it anyway. My bottle should arrive tomorrow.

The crusty stuff isn't that big a deal, people say--and in my own experience, it's not such a bother. I just wipe it off and continue writing, and there seem to be no ill effects.
