Hope Pink is just about as pink as you can possibly get an ink, and I love that! I'm pretty sure I have had my hair this exact color before. The color is great, not too purple, or too red. It is bright and happy without being annoyingly in-your-face (in my opinion, anyway). I wanted to find a pink that was the same color as my pink Pilot Varsity, and this ink is almost identical to it.

This ink behaves well in just about every respect. It is not waterproof, but doesn't claim to be. It flows nice and smooth, with no feathering on Rhodia paper. The dry time is about average.

I was slightly disappointed with Private Reserve Rose Rage, but where it falls short, Hope Pink picks up and soars!

I purchased this Diamine ink as a sample from The Goulet Pen Company, and I most certainly want to get a full bottle!

If a color is good enough to make you question your masculinity, it is GOOD! Ha! :thumbup:

I love this colour too, Shayler. It is soooo pink. Brightens up a page, or a crossword or sudoku.

That's a lovely colour .... I like pink ink, and don't think it's at all 'effeminate', as i said about Herbin Cyclamen :)

If you make people think they're thinking, they'll love you; But if you really make them think, they'll hate you.

I rather think that the liberal use of pink ink only "affirms" one's masculinity. Liked the color in my gray Al-Star 1.1 ...a lot...I say liked...my girlfriend stole my bottle...and the pen. That's how I got her started on her inky road to ruin.... good plan ...huh? She let's my borrow every once in a while...no affiliations ...I mean pen/ink co's.....LOL.

I have seen things that say "real men wear pink". Personally, it makes no more sense to me than saying a blue ink is masculine. It's just ink! I hope I didn't offend anyone with my above comment, it was certainly just a jest at the silliness of it all.

As for your girlfriend, maybe buy her a pink Safari, and you'll get your Al-Star back? LOL.

Greetings all,

 

I HATE PINK! :mad:

 

However, I'm going to buy a bottle of this ink because it's a worthy cause. :)

 

I have no idea what I'm going to use it for... it might make a good editing color... :hmm1: It might even make a good color for business correspondence..., (in limited quantity and accompanied with an appropriate footnote). :hmm1:

 

All the best & God bless,

 

Sean :)

Sean, methinks it would make a good ink for writing and signing birthday cards or other greetings to anyone who may be inclined to enjoy the color!

If any of you are interested in buying this ink, it is currently on sale at Goulet (no aff'l), but I didn't want to mention it until I had secured my own bottle... mwahahaha! B)

Nice review, and thank you for the shoutout! This is one of those inks that's very nice but tends to get overlooked. Diamine especially seems to have a lot of pinks...they have Hope Pink and then they just have regular 'Pink', which Rachel and I have jokingly dubbed as 'Hopeless' Pink ;) haha

You could always try saturating it with Noodler's Bulletproof Black and turning it into your own Black Swan in Australian Roses concoction... :eureka:

      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
