Customer Reviews
I'm crazy about this shade: Azure Kingfisher. It's the first Van Diemen's ink I've tried and I'm a fan. This one is incredible, how it goes down onto the page blue and as it dries the light chartreuse shimmers rises. I need to try other Van Diemen's shimmers.

I bought the Abyss. It is in my brand new AERO, with EF nib.. I may never need any other ink and pen . 100% delighted.
Oh i did buy the light yellow green of this series.
In my past experiences with yellow- greens they are plagued with flow problems.. ( Alan Hills colorverse- i adore that color but it gave me performance issues)
Not Van Dieman's "Sea Dragon"
ink.. I bought this ink to pair with an Opus 88 "Halo" ( ulta clear) pen.. what a beautiful sight to see and functional... If you are asking your self "should I try Van Dieman's Inks.?" The answer is ABSOLUTE YES.
If the underwater series is a little too "experimental" for your tastes.. i implore you to try things from their eariler series .. if still
available ... i have put all my previous ink choices away or have given them away to FP friends..I now have just my favorite Van Diemans and 2 DeAtramentis and one teal Akkerman ink, in my oresentlt inked pens. Lots of non stop use without fussing about performance issues.

I kinda just had to purchase an ink called Ruby Slippers from Wizard of OZ.
The red ink does have a kinda sparkle to it.

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!

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
