All Diamine Inks Mini Fade Test

Nothing quite like empirical data. I wrote a story about this several days ago, now I'm thinking about writing it up down (oxymoron?) below. It will have to be in short segments.

Amazing works, sad to see that my favorite ink, Imperial Purple is almost completely disappeared. Not a big blue fan but I really like Florida and Asa blue at least Asa Blue holds itself...

change of plans.

Wow, thank you! This will be tremendously helpful in my next ink purchase.

I am sad to see that almost all pink inks fade, though

[Simulacrum]

Awesome! Thank you

Another invaluable thread.

 

It is so interesting to see how some colors change and how some fade completely. I wonder what happens to the dye at a molecular level. Now I know which inks I should reconsider. Thank you!

This guides my next purchase. Thank you very much.

I appreciate seeing the ink fade test. Is there any post on FPN relative to bottled ink, specifically Diamine, which does not hold the color value over time? I have had an 80ml Diamine Prussian Blue since about 2010 or so which does not seem as blue as the color swatch on the Diamine website, in fact it seems like a watery black. I'd like to know if anyone has such information already on FPN.
