Customer Reviews
I really like these inks. I have summer tiger snake and winter morning frost. The colors are great. The shimmer for morning frost smears when dry though, which isn’t something I usually experience with shimmer inks.

I love the deep color of this ink. I really wish it was the shimmering version but I’ll take what I can get from this brand.

This ink is so gorgeous. It does need to be shaken periodically to keep the particles in suspension, but I have used it on Tomoe River and Life paper and it is stunning. I did include a drop on my colo-ring testing book page and found that the particles can smudge off, but the written words did not smudge there.

I like the saturation and quick drying time. Color is reminiscent of D’Atrementis Document Grey but with a gold shimmer. Subtle.

Van Dieman's Wilderness ink in Azure Kingfisher is a beautiful medium turquoise with a gold shimmer. When first using from the new bottle, not much gold gets drawn up, so the shimmer is very intermittent, but this will improve as you get further down in the bottle. The color is so nice, you won't care. Good quality ink.

Beware- buying ink samples of Van Diemans leads to purchasing bottles. I have with every one.

My option of Van Dieman's Tasmanian Robin Pink from the Original Fourteen Colors of Tasmania series was my first purchase of this brand, but it definitely will not be my last! Incredibly rich color, perfect flow in a Cross Classic Century medium nib. This is not a glistening, shading, or sheening ink (all of which I love), but I find it is a beautiful, practical option for those pink ink fans like me! I have had a hard time finding the "right" pink as most of the ones I've tried have been either too light, neon, or more of a fushia/purple on the page. This not a light/neon pink, but the slight hint of red adds to the richness of it, making it a vibrant, easy to read, and absolutely delicious!

A fascinating, shapeshifting color - multishades between wheat, olive, and pink. Beautiful!

I choose Winter - Launceston Fog. It's gorgeous.
Flows well, great multi color ink. I suggested broader nibs as the color is on the lighter side

Eucalyptus Regnans is such a beautiful ink! Even in my TWSBI fine nib the shading is wonderful. It's a medium pine green that reminds me of Sailor Tokiwa-matsu.

Shimmers all the writing page without shaking the pen in my Noodler's Neponset. No clogs. Beautiful silvered shimmers. Perfect for winter season letters or for decorating your pages!

The Van Dieman I’ve tried are lovely writers with deep colours and smooth flow. The Bass Strait Cobalt is a non-sheening ink without much shading, but the colour very satisfying.
