EFNIR: Diamine Ancient Copper

[Bo Bo Olson]

I was wondering if this ink was worth keeping because of the nib crud, but on some papers it is a a nice orange brown..., some papers little, other papers more shading.

......................to me it's a not quite ink.....but it can be a better orange than those I've tried, in I'm more into muted orange....but on some papers it's a bright orange.

 

I have some Southworth papers where it was an orange just under too orange (a better orange than MB orange) , with little to no shading.

 

Depending on the paper I have it as an Orange or a brown-orange. Not as red as the OP's review.

Didn't think to try it with a semi-flex pen...Just a springy regular flex Pelikan Celebery.

 

I don't notice sheen any  on Euro papers....but a nice poster sent me some Japanese papers, so I'll try it on them....just move that pen into my looking for sheen inked pens.

The rest of the world would think we're nuts, but fountain pen people know - paper matters!

 

Thanks for sharing your experience, @Bo Bo Olson!

And sight perception too, my penpal!

Ink tossed because of massive crud.

I had read many didn't have that problem 'that was early', which is why I had ordered it. Then crudville. It was not worth the crud, and it's cleaning.

I bought this one on a whim, since I was going to Arizona and I thought it would go well with the landscape of that state (yes it does). However, it has become one of the inks I keep in rotation due to its qualities.

The color is bright and brings me joy, it dries relatively quick and feathers very little.

Mated with a wet pen (Sheaffer 440) it is just gorgeous, and it even shows a bit of shading.

  Yep!  Agree with everything you said.  IMO, this sort of burnt orange color is one we all need.
