Just be sure to use a blotter if you need to close your notebook or planner quickly after writing.

But other than that, I was intrigued by the rose gold shimmer I had glimpsed in Pen Chalet\u2019s yellow-orange ink, named The Sun naturally. Other than the bronze color effect from the shimmer, I didn\u2019t notice any shading or chroma in this ink. It writes a bright ORANGE with a strong yellow undertone in light applications. It paired well with the Nahvalur  Nautilus Year of the Tiger pen and wrote a bit dryly with the fine steel nib but there were no issues with clogging or hard starts. I didn\u2019t agitate the pen at all for the short writing sample.  <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Van Diemans The Earth Ink<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Color: clear medium blue<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shimmer: marine green<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing: very well lubricated with a good dry time, and solid water resistance (but not waterproof). <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Van Diemans Solar System ink review The Earth writing sample. \" class=\"wp-image-8346\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-1536x769.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-2048x1025.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/The-Earth-writing-samples-copy-624x312.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Van Diemans The Earth ink writing sample. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Next up, was The Earth and it is my favorite of the three inks. This is a lovely clear medium blue shade with the most gorgeous marine green shimmer in it. It\u2019s very well lubricated and performed best in the dry time test with minimal smearing after 20-seconds of drying. Although it isn\u2019t waterproof, it\u2019s perfectly legible after running a wet cotton swab across after three minutes of dry time. In the writing test it appears a bit turquoise but that\u2019s the nib I used &#8211; modified to a reverse architect with fine as the reverse. But with a medium sized nib (the Tag Stationery glass pen is a VERY wide fine) the Earth ink color is glorious. There may be a bit of red sheening at the edges and in pools but it\u2019s not an obvious characteristic. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Van Diemans Mercury Ink<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Color: burple (leans more blue than purple)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Shimmer: bright surface gold shimmer<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Writing: decent performer without clogging (even in a Japanese fine 14k gold nib), but the lovely blue color isn&#8217;t as pretty in a finer nib\/ also a bit troublesome &#8211; consider this one an &#8220;active ink.&#8221; It&#8217;s great ink for someone with a super broad nib and well-spaced handwriting. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-1024x512.jpg\" alt=\"Van Diemans Solar System ink review Mercury writing sample.\" class=\"wp-image-8349\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-1024x512.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-300x150.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-768x384.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-1536x769.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-2048x1025.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.penchalet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Mercury-writing-sample-copy-624x312.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Van Diemans Solar System ink review Mercury writing sample.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Mercury has a bright surface gold shimmer and is a \u201cburple\u201d color. I thought originally it was purple but leans more blue than purple. It was the ink I was sure I was going to love the best of the three I chose, but it was just an overall troublesome ink. I believe the bottle lid was defective so it\u2019s unfair to blame the ink, but I had spillage and pen leakage when sampling as well as filling the piston converter. So just be aware it\u2019s an \u201cactive\u201d ink when using it. I\u2019ve learned after 750 ink swatches to wear old clothing when sampling inks for the first time. By the way, Dawn dish detergent and ScotchGuard green scrubbers are the best way to clean inky fingers. <br><br>Mercury is a great looking ink and even in a Japanese medium fine 14K nib, it\u2019s a decent performer without clogging but the lovely blue color isn\u2019t as pretty in such a fine nib. This ink deserves someone with super broad nibs and well spaced handwriting to showcase well.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Find Your Favorite Inks at Pen Chalet<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Many thanks to Lisa for digging into these inks for us!
