If you ever want to add those to a fade experiment....

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Swap you a sample for any other Diamine colour? (And I do mean any :))

Sorry, I can't. I had a sample bottle but it's - elsewhere.

Not bad, (nodding), but why didn't you keep them in their boxes?

:puddle: I thought I was dreaming! I love Diamine inks & while I have a few, only dreamed of buying the entire set. Although tomorrow I am getting the 5 Pelikan Edelstein Inks I don't yet own.

100 bottles, one for each of Diamine's standard colours.

 

If something is worth doing, it is worth doing to excess :lol:

 

Now I think I can wait buying more ink at least until Diamine releases their new boxed set in the autumn….

 

Beside this cave of Ali Diamine Baba, do you have also other brands ?

Of course: excess is my middle name. But other than a trivial brand this is the only complete collection. I like Diamine inks.

I am no longer very active on FPN but feel free to message me. Or send me a postal letter!

I have shared this photo with those who profess to love me, what with Xmas coming and all.

Yeah ... I wonder if I can persuade that my teenagers that cases of ink are in fact better than the latest video game?

My idea was writing samples of all of them, ordered by hue and all done with the same pen(s), to have a single comparison of the lot.

 

And I of course did just that here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/250366-all-diamine-inks-compared/

With fade tests here: https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php/topic/250572-all-diamine-inks-mini-fade-test/

 

Enjoy.

I am 16, and happen to be of just that opinion. Sadly, I may be alone.

Impressive collection, and those comparison scans are wonderful! I'm trying not to spend money right now, but all the pretty colours...;)

I was referring to my age group, sorry for the confusion.

I thought you were in a small elite group of teenage fountain pen user or teenagers who would prefer mom collect ink instead of Wii games?

      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
