Diamine Pumpkin Ink<\/p><\/div>\n

While testing Diamine Pumpkin, we found the following characteristics that you may find helpful:
\nTesting Factors<\/p>\n

We used a J. Herbin dip pen on a Rhodia dot pad. The dip pen lays a line similar to a Japanese Fine.<\/p>\n

Bottle Sizes<\/h2>\n

There are two options available when purchasing Diamine fountain pen ink<\/a>. They come in 30ml plastic bottles, or in 80ml glass bottles. The Diamine Pumpkin ink that we used in this review was a 30ml plastic bottle.<\/p>\n

Cost<\/h2>\n

A 30ml bottle of Diamine ink weighs in at only $7.00 USD. That’s a great price for such high quality ink. If you love Pumpkin and just can’t get enough of it, the 80ml bottles are only $15.00 USD.<\/p>\n

Dry Time<\/h2>\n

Diamine Inks’ dry times vary from ink to ink. Diamine Pumpkin had a dry time of roughly 14-15 seconds. This is a slower dry time, but there are many benefits that outweigh this minor inconvenience.<\/p>\n

Bleed Through<\/h2>\n

We experienced absolutely no bleeding while testing the Diamine Pumpkin Ink, not even where the ink pooled.<\/p>\n

Feathering<\/h2>\n

There was no feathering during our test with Rhodia Paper. However,although results may vary from paper to paper.<\/p>\n

Water Test<\/h2>\n

We let the Diamine Pumpkin Ink dry for about three minutes, then we ran a wet cotton swab over it. Pumpkin is clearly not a waterproof ink. The grid we drew smeared, bled, and even showed feathering. If you’re looking for waterproof, you’re out of luck here.<\/p>\n

Shading<\/h2>\n

Although Diamine Pumpkin Ink is a beautiful color, we were unable to produce any shading in this review. You might be able to produce some shading through the use of a broader nib. However, Pumpkin holds it’s own despite the lack of shading.<\/p>\n

Conclusion about the Diamine Pumpkin Ink<\/h2>\n

Diamine Pumpkin Ink is a great way to usher in this fall season. Whether you want to find that perfect combo with your fall pen, or you simply love pumpkins, Diamine Pumpkin Ink is a must have.<\/p>\n
