Will there be refill bottles available? I don't need a glass bottle every time, just once. I hope Diamine will sell the 30 or 80 or 100ml plastic bottles once we have made the initial purchase. I really like most of these, though the brighter red/blue/green don't sing to me.

I'm looking forward to a few of these. The Blue-Black looks similar to Iroshizuku Shin-Kai. Regency Blue and Blue Velvet are the 2 I'd most likely get.

Nice ink reviews!

 

I just heard about these new inks this week. They'll be available in the US hopefully just before Christmas, with more to come in early 2015. The 40ml bottles will be available separately for $15 each here in the US. I'm glad it's not like the music or flowers set where you have to buy the full set - easy to replenish your favorite color!

For $15, it is not terrible, although I am not impressed at all with the Diamine inks I bought myself. I am a sucker for special editions and cool bottles.

Wow. Most of these are lovely. I'm not usually a huge fan of Diamine colours but these are very nice. I think only Silver Fox and Tropical Green won't be coming home with me. Thank you for the head's up!

Looks like someone may finally have made an ink close to MB Leonardo Red Chalk. Color me interested.

Official; just from Diamine.

The UK price is going to be £7.75 per bottle (including the 20% VAT) and they are NOT going to be Limited Edition!

There aren't any plans to introduce a plastic version - which I'm not surprised about.

Good news all round.

I don't need more blue inks, but darn. Two of those are beautiful. And Terracotta needs to be sampled, too.

Good to know on the price. Nice to know they are affordable. Hope Cult Pens stocks them soon (and restocks some other inks...).

I do wonder how the Safari compares to R&K Alt-Goldgrun, both in color and behavior.

Well, there goes my flimsy resolution to not buy any more ink until I've emptied a couple of bottles. The Regency Blue in particular is calling my name in no uncertain terms. Thanks for the review and photos!

      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

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
