A Quick Look At The Latest Diamine Shimmer Ink Samples


Chrissy

Recommended Posts

Diamine sent me samples of their latest 12 shimmer inks to try out, and I've had 12 pens inked with them for over a week now.

So here is a quick look at the colours. Maybe I should have separated Caramel Sparkle and Pink Glitz as they look a little similar next to each other, on this sheet. However, Caramel Sparkle is a reddish brown and Pink Glitz is a pinkish red. I'm loving the green, orange and silver. :) Anyway, this is just a quick look.

I like the Lilac Satin. I have lots of pens worthy of an ink like this.

Several of these inks look quite interesting. Looking forward to seeing full reviews.

Thanks for posting.

I like the looks of Pink Glitz, Lilac Satin, and Moon Dust so far. I actually like these better than the first series.

The praise of the praiseworthy is above all rewards.

I think Moon Dust will be popular. I remember thinking that, because it was a potential possible for the first series, but it didn't make it as one of the ten. It's a great silver ink. :)

 

I like Golden Oasis and Inferno Orange. However, I'm really not sure that Golden Oasis automatically makes me think of a green ink. Is it just me?

Interesting. Thank you for sharing.

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

I have done my 12 reviews, but as Bhavna has already posted some, I will wait a while before posting mine.

 

My early findings are that these 12 inks are all quite wet. They are all great starters. :)

      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
