Diamine Pumpkin - Fading Results In Nice Shading


Andrew-

Recommended Posts

Diamine Pumpkin is my 'mark-up' ink at work.

 

Having made some comments/corrections in the margin of a drawing four weeks ago, I was surprised to see it had faded and turned into the attached.

Although left in the open it wasn't in direct sunlight.

For contrast/comparison, the I wrote the last line of text in the third image today before I took the photograph.

 

So, no real point as such; I am posting this for interest though in a way it might be nice if it shaded like this straight out of the pen.

 

Incidentally, this was written with a TWSBI 580 medium nib; I get great flow for this ink in this pen and no gunge deposits around the nib.

A very different story with my Lamy Safari however which got a thick coating of orange gunge within a day or so of filling!

How long was it in the sun?

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

Interesting!

Pumpkin looks great as is, but that shading reminds me of Apache sunset which is even better :)

If I remember correctly Amber.. in your fade tests, oranges and yellows are the first ones to go...

Sad. It's such a great color. I ordered a sample of it a couple of days ago.

 

Does anyone know of any oranges that don't fade?

I didn't have them on 2012 fade test and the 2013 test is still up and at 'em....

 

I think the Swisher Apricot was a star. I used it as the base for my daily orange mix and it never faded. The other inks were Blue Ghost and Levenger Cardinal Red (Cardinal Red is a fast fader) but the mix was awesome.

The only two Swishers I had up both did great -- Swishmix Burgundy and Djinn of the Eternal Flame (which is listed as Garden of the Eternal Flame).

Sailor Jentle inks didn't hold up well as a group, but it did as expected in Orange.

Amber! Oh, wow! Would you recommend some favorite inks of yours that have good longevity?

 

I'm just getting started with fountain pens. I have 5 (wait while I go count them.... yes, five) bottles of ink.

Thanks for posting this. It does show an interesting and attractive result.

 

I wonder about the 5th list item though:

 

5. "In a list only the last item had a period; do not use ';'.

 

Is that self-referential to the list itself? (Ever item in the list ends with a period.) Yes I am being pedantic, but I am also curious. It could be that you are referencing a different kind of list.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
