Hello again,



Here are the other four inks from the Diamine Shimmer Set that I didn't receive last Tuesday thanks to our beloved postal system. However, here they are, and as always, I look forward to your comments and thoughts. I have particularly been looking forward to reviewing this ink, and what a joy it was!

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

Do we know when they are available for sale?

 

Hi adyf, the packs are being collated and finalised as we speak. Diamine tell me the inks will be available late Sept/ early Oct. I hope that helps.

I think this one is the breakaway hit of the bunch, though I love them all. I'm so excited!!! :D

 

I can't decide between this, purple and Golden Sands! I'm excited for everyone too!

I was dubious, but these pics have convinced me that this one'll be a stunner.

 

I'm so glad the pics helped, they really DO tell a thousand words! If you like these, wait till you ink up!

Thanks for the review. I'm not into the sparkly inks at all, but that's a gorgeous blue. I might have to see if it's possible to let the sparkles settle to the bottom of the bottle and use only the ink itself...

Hi Gylyf,

 

Here you go, some comparisons with settled Blue Pearl and other lovely blues including Parker Penman Sapphire - hope this helps!

That sounds lovely! They really are special inks. I cannot wait for them to become commercially available so everyone can have a play! I am delighted you like the review.

Cool, I'd noticed that there are usually two or three people that seem to get the new Diamine ink samples ahead of the release date.

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film.

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
