New Diamine 150Th Anniversary Inks!


The Good Captain

Recommended Posts

I've now tried most of the samples I ordered from GPC of the Anniversary inks. I haven't made up my mind about Regency Blue or 1864 Blue Black (maybe in a broader nib for those). Blue Velvet has a reddish sheen, but only on really good paper like Rhodia; it's nice, but also similar to a lot of other blue inks I've seen. And have.

But Terra Cotta.... Oh MY! :puddle: It's one of those colors I didn't expect to like but just sort of makes me all melty inside. That one is a keeper for sure. I definitely need a full bottle.... :wub:

Still have to try Silver Fox, but I'm expecting to like it (I tend to like grey inks).

I've just bought my first bottle of Diamine. My dealer told me that he's the only one to have it in Belgium. More than 100 colours in stock, 80 ml and a good price .... Diamine Bilberry is now in my Homo Sapiens !!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm sure I will buy more Diamine soon ...............

Wow, I'm really behind the curve here! But thanks to the very nice people at Diamine I have briefly reviewed the whole set here. Blue Velvet's definitely my favourite : )

Thanks

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

      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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
