Thanks Immoteus for a nicely done ink review. I had the same ink and sold it because it didn't do anything for me. Maybe the new owner, another FPN member, might stick her head in and say what she thinks about the ink. In general, though, Diamine is my ink of choice. I love their great flow and nice drying behavior.

Thanks for the review. I've read that Diamine brown colored inks were on the light side, but this one appears to also have a yellowish tinge that I had not heard about before... It reminds me a bit of a much lighter version of Sailor Brown. By the way, if anyone is curious, this ink appears much lighter than the new Diamine Saddle Brown.

Talking about fountain pens is like dancing about architecture.

Would it be a bother to ask if you can post a sample of the saddle brown?

I recently posted a sample of Saddle Brown in the following thread:

That would be me. I like the Diamine Sepia but I think it looks closer to a light golden brown than what I would call sepia. Fortunately, I'd wanted a golden brown so that worked out. However, for a Sepia I prefer R&K's Sepia. It has that brownish/yellowish/grayish cast that I think of as being more like a sepia with a vintage or antique look.

      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
