Dear Friends,



It is my pleasure and honour to share the latest Shimmer Inks from Diamine due to be released this month. There are 12 colours and I have been able to review them all thanks to Diamine. I welcome your thoughts and feedback, as always. This is a stunning colour with shimmer and a red sheen..!



EDITED TO ADD SCANS

Thanks for the review. This is another one for the "maybe..." list.

Thank you for reviewing these new shimmering inks. This one looks like a candidate for those who like blue-black inks.

I may have to have this! I use Magical Forest and Night Sky each year for signing and addressing my Christmas cards, but I'd love to have a shimmery blue for special notes during the rest of the year.

 

I'm also looking at Tropical Glow. What I'd really like is something like a shimmery Kon-peki. Which do you suggest?

 

Thanks!

Ooo this is very pretty, thank you for the review! I've never tried a Diamine shimmer ink before, but might have to start with this one!

Nice but I thought I would like this one more than I do. Thanks for the review!

I hate being a negative Nancy, but your scanned images look awful. I can't tell if the ink is feathering or if it's just a low resolution.

Thanks for the review. I tend to leave blues / blacks for office use so a shimmering b/b wouldn't get much use for me, but it does look nice!

Just bought a bottle of Diamine Enchanted Ocean. My results are nothing like you obtained, just a plain blue-black.

 

Other prospective buyers may want to take this into account.

How are you looking at the page, though?

      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
