Fantastic, thank you for doing that. I have just been looking at their new 150 year anniversary set due out on the 17th of Nov. Looks rather lovely with colours I haven't seen in their collection before. Very exciting AND available individually according to The Writing Desk website (no affiliation, just stalking to get a bottle of 1670 Stormy Grey!). HOW many days to Christmas...?

Hi Bhavna, thanks for the news about the 150 Anniversary collection of inks. I hadn't known about it, so went to have a peek. Yes, and I would like to try the Stormy Grey too - if you find anywhere where it's in stock, let me know :-)

So many pens, so little time.

I don't wish to cause any problems for people who may want to buy the sets so that they have them all.

 

However, I have it on good authority (from Diamine 5 minutes ago) that they have just started to sell refill 30ml bottles from both Gift Sets (musicians and flowers) separately at GB£4.03 each.

 

Unfortunately these aren't the glass bottles like those in the sets, they are the ordinary plastic Diamine 30ml bottles. So to those of you who have sets with a favourite ink in, I suggest you keep your glass bottles for refilling.

Hi Chrissy, thanks. I thought the refills have always been available, but only to those who already own the Gift Sets. Are you saying that those who don't own the Gift Sets can order individual refills too?

So many pens, so little time.

Chrissy, can you tell me where you ordered from? I had a look at the Diamineinks site but no sight of the inks in question. Did you order online, or do you have to call them?

Thanks..

Lioly, if you email Diamine with the colours you want, they will send them out. The website will be updated at some point I am told.

If there is righteousness in the heart, There will be beauty in character. If there is beauty in character, There will be harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

B, how do Cornflower and Aster compare to the new anniversary inks?

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
