Today I'm reviewing Diamine Warm Brown ink

  • Flow Rate: Good. Feels wetter and looks more saturated in broader nibs
  • Lubrication: Good on several different papers.
  • Nib Dry-out: Not noticed.
  • Start-up: Immediate.
  • Saturation: Not a saturated ink
  • Shading Potential: Very good
  • Sheen: Not seen
  • Show-Through:
    • Tomoe River 52gsm & 68gsm.
    • Cheaper generic 80gsm printer papers & lined pads.
    • Field Notes

​The reverse of the image shows more show-through than is actually present on the paper.

  • Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Seen on Field Notes.
  • Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not seen, even after over a week in the pen
  • Staining (pen): Not seen - easy clean-up
  • Staining (hands): Not seen - easy clean-up
  • Clogging: Not seen. Seems unlikely.
  • Water resistance: Not sold as waterproof, but is water resistant.
  • Availability: Available from Diamine Inks web-site and other outlets.

THX for the review

So many colours, hadn't noticed this one before.

Looks quite lovely.

 

You're welcome. :) Yes it's difficult when there're so many colours to choose from. :D

I like this type of soft brown - one of my missing diamine inks. Now going on my wish list. Thanks for the nice presentation. I really like that you show the ink on a variety of paper, since that gives a very good sense of its general behavior.

You're welcome and thank you for your kind words. I bought a set of Notebooks from Goulet pens and found they are small versions, so I thought I would use them as my ink testing paper.

How did I miss this ink before? (I know -- they have too many inks in their lineup.... I now have more different Diamine colors (between samples and full bottles) than Noodler's -- and that's saying something (although for bottled ink I probably still has more Noodlers).

I'd be curious as to how it compares with Diamine Ochre (an ink I haven't yet made up my mind about).

Thanks for the review. And possibly, well, not....

You're welcome. :) When I was trying to decide what inks to compare it with, I never thought of Ochre or Burnt Sienna :doh: :headsmack: I must have a look at Warm Brown beside those 2 inks.

 

Actually I regularly use a 50/50 mix of Ochre and Burnt Sienna in my Aurora 365 Brown. You know how I like to match inks with pens :D Warm Brown could save me the trouble of mixing. ;)

 

Ochre is definitely going to be more yellow than Warm Brown though

      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
