Wettest Diamine

[Rocket1]

Which Diamine inks are the wettest?

[Rocket1]

Nobody?

I have Umber, Steel Blue, Damson, Monaco Red, Prussian Blue, Lavender, Amazing Amethyst, Marine and Kensington Blue. They all seem to flow about the same with Kensington Blue probably being the wettest, but not by much. Of all the ink makers I find Diamine inks to be one of the most consistent where ink properties are concerned.

I have three Diamine inks: Midnight Blue, Blue Black and Jet Black. They all seem to have the same consistent flow - not really wet, but good flow that keeps up with the lines my broad nibs put down.

I've also found the Diamines to be very consistent; however, the Washable Blue seems to be the wettest. I don't use it because it is so wet it causes lots of feathering and bleed through.

I'm not sure that "wettest" and "Diamine" are not mutually exclusive. I find them among the driest inks I own. Of the number of colours I've used, I guess Diamine Turquoise comes the closest to being able to be described as "wet"...but not very.

My Diamine Majestic Blue is pretty "wet", but that is why I like it. It throws down a thick dark saturated blue line that stands out. I like it in my pilot VP.

my findings are that umber is the wettest of the three i own (BB, umber, monaco red). BB being the driest.
