Diamine Bottled Ink(80ml) Fountain Pen Ink Reviews

The Diamine Teal ink has met and exceeded my expectations!

Got various colors of Diamine ink in. So far all have been top drawer with minimal feathering on very cheap papers.

I bought the 80 ml bottles of Grey and Pumpkin. The grey is my first grey ever. Didn't like it at first but it's growing on me slowly and surely. I've filled it in a fine nibbed pen and will progress to a medium nibbed one soon. Beginning to like it on fine and I think it'll look good with the medium too. Pumpkin on the other hand is just plain brilliant!! Very bright color, in-your-face. Have this in a medium nibbed pen but want to see it in a fine nibbed one. both have excellent flow and dry quickly enough for my use. Not much shading that I noticed in either ink. I suspect the grey does shade a bit but I cant make out for sure with the fine nib I'm using right now.

I went through a lot of issues trying to get the shipment outside the US and Ron was there all the while sorting out the problems and I'm grateful for his support (in spite of my many emails and calls to him with loads of probably impertinent questions and difficulties I was having).

Certainly recommend the products. Definitely recommend PenChalet.com for all related purchases

I purchased the Marine color ink. It is super wet flowing, and a thin watery ink. The color is great - a turquoise with a hint of green. The ink is easy to clean out of pens, though sticks to skin a bit. The 80ml bottle is pretty good, with a wide opening and decent shape for filling. The ink tends to bleed on absorbent paper.

New to brown ink, I recently tried Diamine Rustic Brown. The ink provides a deep, rich brown color with a hint of red and orange. Some reviews noted that the color is very dark; in my opinion, it is dark, but in a rich way, where the brown is anything but flat. The ink flows very evenly and dries quickly, an advantage for left-hand writers like myself. I used the ink with a Nemonsine Fission with a fine nib.

This is a beautiful color!

Diamine Royal Blue is a nice blue ink, reminiscent of the washable royal blue ink of my school days, but with a little more punch. Well-behaved on everything I've tried it with. One of my favorite medium blue inks. (Note: the 3 for Product Style is for the bottle; the ink itself would be a 5)

This Syrah ink is a very nice purply marroon color with excellent, velvety flow and superior shading (as I often find with Diamine inks). I have it in two pens right now and both the F and the stub nib give interesting shading on Rhodia and Clairfontaine papers, and a very color-saturated line on cheaper papers but without feathering.

Great red ink

The slow dry time causes some smears here and there, especially on the Clairefontaine paper I use. But the shading and the deep rich color are great.
