Diamine Damson

[tweexcore]

I am so terribly over excited about my recent interest in fountain pens and ink and everything that I leaped to attempt a review...so it is my first time for virtually everything. Tell me what I'm missing and I'd hope that with time, my handwriting & commentary will improve. Also I am pretty sure I completely ruined any sort of proper color calibration/lighting adjustment so apologies for screwing up possibly the most important part of a review?

I've not posted a review myself, but I thought this was a lovely first outing. :clap1: One of the review veterans will likely be along shortly to give you some constructive advice.

 

Glad you like the ink. Diamine is my favorite brand, and Damson is in heavy rotation with me. Private Reserve's Tanzanite and Purple Mojo round out my purple collection, but Damson was my first.

 

Keep posting, and welcome to the forum!

Tweexcore,

 

 

Great ink review! Though you're new to fountain pens, you've learned a lot! To verify if one ink can show shading qualities you need to use broad nibs, M or more.

Enjoy the Fountain Pen World!

Passionate about inks, yes?

 

You might take a look at the suggestions from Ann on what to include in an Ink Review. I found it really good to ensure the Review covers aspects that may well be of interest to others.

 

Go for it!!

Unleash the bare-naked bunny dancing the Macerena!

 

Bye,

In my neck of the woods, Diamine Damson gets 5 meeps!! I love Damson -- you might also like Noodler's Nightshade, which is in the same color family. Also try Cacoa du Bresil by J. Herbin (not a purple, but an interesting gray/brown). Anyway, good review - keep 'em comin'! HP

Thanks for the review and welcome!

 

I love the darkness of this ink, it's my favourite purple so far.

Nice! I think I may have to load one of my Lamys up with Damson soon!

 

You might try Diamine Violet -- it does this cool color shift as its drying.

I just loaded this ink into one of my Parkers, and I love it! The rich colour is dark and subtle enough to use for regular "official" work, yet still has a bit more character than a plain blue or black ink. So lovely!
