I was sent this glorious ink to review by Diamine. What a gorgeous, deep colour with a vibrant sheen for those who love it!

Thanks for these great reviews. Do you know if Philip and Christine are available in 30ml bottles ?

Cheers

Patrick

You're welcome. I'm sorry, I don't know the answer. Having just had a look on their website, only Robert (Bob) and Maureen (Mo) are showing as available in 30 ml, I am assuming the others will be shortly. Hope that helps. Edited by Bhavna

Oh that does look nice (I gather that both Christine and Phillip are new).

Thanks for the review. And, well, not.... I haven't tried a bunch of samples of various Diamine inks as it is :wallbash: (I had a bunch of samples of the Shimmer inks to try, and then recently picked up 3 of the Guitar Series line).

This is another great review. I'm not sure I would get this one as I like it better in the swatch than in the writing. At least on my screen it looks pretty black.

They are indeed, and a lot of fun too. I haven't tried the Guitar series yet. How did you find them?

Thank you. It can be difficult getting the right balance on screen. It isn't that dark in real life. The pen used makes a difference, in my case its a wet nib which lays down more ink which had dried rich and dark. Do try a sample if you can, it is beautiful.

Haven't had a chance to try any of them yet. I went on an ink buying spree recently and other stuff got loaded up in pens first (one of the others being Diamine Earl Grey, which so far is behaving nicely in my Sailor Pro-Gear Slim with the zoom nib, but I haven't really had a chance to put the ink through its paces yet, especially with the exotic nib...).

Me too, if it helps...! I do love Earl Grey, such a lovely ink. Very gentle when one needs time out from the world and colours feel too boisterous.

      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
