This is a stunning colour even just in the bottle - please play with it in sunlight when you get yours - it is magical!

Thanks for the review.

This one seems to be really similar to the reformulated Herbin Rouge Hematite (I don't have that version -- I have the older stuff with the big flakes).

This one is another "maybe" ink for me.

ETA: Hate what Diamine called this one. Sounds like a stripper name....

:lticaptd: I will never see it in the same way again. I haven't tried the Rouge Haematite having recently discovered mine to have a dark gunge at the bottom that I thought (prayed, hoped...) would be gold flakes. I hate it, and I am a lover of red inks! 2 bottles Ruth! I will say that this is NOT red at all, more a warm burnt orange beautifully complimented with the gold shimmer.

Nice! And, this one goes on The List. Behind Lightning, but running neck-and-neck with Golden Sands.

You are in for a lovely treat. They are all so different and special in their own right.

My favourite among these inks so far.

It is glorious. I am glad you like it.

I wanted to add a couple of comparison pictures to emphasise the warmth of the brown. I am a great fan of Diamine's Ancient Copper and of course a comparison felt obvious and allayed a curiosity I had. I hope these are of help. The Toffee brown appears far darker than the actual ink on paper!

Thank you so much for the great reviews and for sharing the comparison swabs - that is really helpful :)

 

Hi Feathers (love the name and avatar!). Thank you for your kind words. I wanted to add the comparison to clarify the distinctness of this particular ink, I am really glad it has helped.

Oh, thank you! Thank you also for the comparison!

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

What I really like about the Shimmertastic inks is that those I have tried I would like even without the shimmer, because the colours are nice. And even though I usually don't go for that kind of thing, I even like the shimmer.

Okay, I used to have the Letter Writers Alliance and The Snail Mail Exchange in here. Somehow, my browsers settings and the forum's settings work together to prevent that from being the case at the moment. Whenever I try to update my signature, the whole process breakls down. So. Whatever.

I love this ink. I wasn't expecting to because metalised inks can be a bit uneven. But it's actually a really nice colour and, on Rhodia, paper quite spectacular. It's near to Rouge Hematite in colour and behaviour, though the Herbin ink is much pinker and a little more subtle in its sheen. I've just ordered a whole bottle after hoovering up a sample and I might start sampling some of the others.

For the uninitiated, Diamine is the Brand? I love the inks, but you rarely get the see, touch, and feel through the internet. They are quite spectacular.

 

Thanks so much.

      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
