Conclusion: Van Diemans The Sun Ink Review
The Sun ink is a vivid orange ink that adds a bit of life to everything it touches. The heavy shimmer makes it great for special projects, wide nibs, calligraphy nibs, and dip pens. For a high saturation shimmer ink, the longer dry time isn’t outrageous. This ink comes alive on paper.
