I present to test the ink Diamine 150th Anniversary of Blue Velvet with a beautiful, deep shade of blue. Very well saturated with ink. Super fast drying. Same advantages. The ink was developed to celebrate the 150 th anniversary of the company Diamine. The series consists of 8 new colors not available in the standard palette, packaged in a triangular bottle that set the sides together form a closed circle. I would recommend.

Series, colour: 150th Anniversary Blue Velvet


Pen: Waterman Hemisphere, nib "F"


Paper: Image Volume (80 g / m2)



Specifications:


Flow rate: good


Lubrication: good


Bleed through: noticeable


Shading: noticeable


Feathering: unnoticeable


Saturation: very good

Wow another Diamine 150th anniversary ink review! This is a very nice blue! Now you've done it, akszugor! You've made me want to go and buy another bottle of ink... As if I really need another reason to get one. :D

 

Great review, thanks! Pretty nice handwriting too.

I just wrote with this ink today. I have been following the Parker Penman Sapphire replacement thread carefully and at the moment Blue Velvet and Private Reserve American Blue are two candidates. I have both and they are VERY close in color. i think? that the Blue Velvet may have more shading. A very nice ink!

 

BTW, in my brief search tonight it seems like some stores no longer have this color. Does that suggest it's going away? I don't know but it's a possibility.

I just used this ink for the first time the other day and I really like it! It's quite a nice shade of blue.

 

OCArt, I hope not! I haven't heard anything about the 150 inks being limited productions, and all the places I looked (Goulets, jet pens, and Anderson pens) still had them in stock, so I'm remaining hopeful!

      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..

      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
