Passion Red - Diamine

Recommended Posts

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Passion Red isn't most saturated red from Diamine lineup but it's really "wet" and I enjoy this subtle shade. The ink flows very well and the writing experience is pleasant. Good stuff.

I purchased some cartridges of this ink awhile back and was very disappointed with the pinkish hue. It does offer a bit of shading and the flow is good if you enjoy such colors.

Thank you for the review. I also see a pinkish hue. Almost like a strawberry shade of red. I quite like it, but I do have lots of red ink

I tried this a couple of years ago, based on another review. But discovered that it was way too pink a red even for me. I gave the bottle away, but at least it was one of the small 30 ml bottles.

If I want a pink leaning read, I'll stick to De Atramentis Dante Alighieri/Ruby Red, or Edelstein Star Ruby. And if I want something permanent, there's always Noodler's Park Red (which only leans a little pink and seems to be completely waterproof).

But thanks for the review.

      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
