Diamine Hope Pink

Recommended Posts

I am not a huge fan of pinks. I like fuchsia, such as Noodler's Saguaro Wine or Iroshizuku's Yama-budo. But PINK pink of any shade is usually not something I love.

Having said that, I do really like Diamine's Hope Pink. It's way too vibrant for me to ever really use so I won't be buying a bottle. But for those of you that like pink, you should definitely pick up a sample of this one.

Excellent pictures! I *do* love this ink, but I'd been searching for a great pure pink. Nice review!

If Hope is too pink, have you tried Diamine Claret? Still quite vibrant, but more purple than your sample above.

 

There's a review FPN Claret Review by "Dandelion".

 

Iroshi Tsutsuji is also a very pink pink, but leans a bit more red/magenta than Hope Pink, if you're interested.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
