  1. In 2015 Diamine released the Music Collection, a set of ten inks named after well-known composers. This is a collection with serious, subdued colors. The package is conceived as a gift set, with a nice presentation box included. Reviews for individual inks from this set can be found elsewhere on this forum, and a nice color presentation of the complete set can be found in "Diamine Music Set : Ten Dreary Colors". Here I add some additional information - for one thing a set of chroma's for these inks. This gives you an idea of the ink's complexity and number of dyes used in its composition. You also get an idea of the ink's water resistance. The more water soluble dyes are found at the top of the chromatography - the water-resistent parts at the bottom. The bottom of the picture gives a good idea of what remains of the ink when exposing it to water. And these chromatographies are also just nice-looking representations of the ink's character. Enjoy... The ink colors from this set are indeed "dreary", seriously subdued, and maybe a bit bland. But I recently tried them on some high-quality paper, and noticed that their looks depend very much on the paper. Specifically - on "Original Crown Mill cotton paper" these inks get a really nice classy look. For some reason, this paper gives the inks a huge boost in character. Really really nice. It is the first time I used this paper, but that will definitely change ! Below you can see a blow-up of the difference on paper between "Original Crown Mill" and "Tomoe River". These inks are absolutely OK on Tomoe River, but the cotton paper of Original Crown Mill definitely enhances the inks aesthetics. I also tried the inks on a more creamy paper in a Life Noble notebook. This more yellowish paper is definitely not a good partner for these inks. It makes the subdued colors look bland. For these inks, you should stick to white paper. Below you'll find the images for the ink overview on the three different papers: Original Crown Mill, Tomoe River and Life Noble.

  2. Would anybody be interested in joining me for a group buy of the Diamine Music Collection (and the Flowers set if there is enough interest)? My initial sums show that it would cost £8.54 plus P&P per person. For your money you would receive 10 x 3ml inks in individual, labelled 5ml vials and one empty bottle from the collection. FYI Ink set - £60.00 Pipettes - £0.88 Vials - £24.50 Total £85.38 I need 9 people willing to play to make this viable. Thank you Karen Edit: typo
