Diamine Claret is my choice of highlighting ink, but I need to put it in a fine nibbed pen.

I concur with the above, when wet this ink looks more like a pink colour, and then dries to a raspberry colour. I had a cartridge of this last year and very nice it was too, though out of my normal colour range as it is quite feminine IMO. Thanks for the review.

I'm still enchanted by this colour. I was never too happy with the scan and realized that I actually managed to capture the colour better in a photo - taken for the Visconti Opera review a few days ago.

So, here is a photo that is rather true to the colour.

Thanks for that very nice review! I prefer your scan's color of this ink because I have colors already mentioned (Noodler's Shah's Rose and Saguaro Wine) that are close to the color in your photo. Both colors in your samples are beautiful, but the red with the pinkish tone made me want to buy. Thanks again for the samples.

I'm going to have to try it again in a wider, wetter nib. Coming out of a "fidium" Parker, it was decidedly pink and hasn't darkened with age.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

Dandelion, I actually bought this ink based on your blog's photo. Love it! Instead of comparing it to Herbin's Rose Cyclamen, I'd like to compare it to Pilot Iroshizuku Yama-budo, which is probably a tad more cranberry. I love both!

I also have Yama-budo and claret and they are really almost exactly the same. The Yama-budo might be a tiny bit darker.

Wish list: Aurora Optima

Current inked Pens: Pilot Decimo - Noodlers BBH, MB Mozart - MB Lavender

Pelikan M150 - Noodlers Kung te Cheng

Thanks for this lovely review, & especially for the side-by-side comparison w/ Rose Cyclamen. How does Diamine Deep Magenta compare? Can someone provide a side-by-side including that?

Nice review, nice ink, thanks.

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

Aha, thank you! Although of course that leads me to another problem: the colors are close enough & web/monitor colors iffy enough that, in the end, I realize I'd better just track down some live samples! :rolleyes: But it looks like all 3 colors are beautiful, so I can't go far wrong whichever I end up with... :wub:

Wow, that colour is amazing! I never thought that I would want a pink ink, but lately I have been liking the looks of Ottoman Rose and Arabian Rose. Now I think Claret is the pink for me.

I use my Lamy Vista (EF nib) for underlining and making corrections. Lovely color that pops out on the page and grabs my attention faster than red does.

Thanks for the very enjoyable review. Had my eye on Yama-Budo from Pilot and since this is so similar, will invest in a little bottle of Claret!

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
