on saleDiamine Graphite - Ink Sample

It's great ink, but a little more on the pure grey side. I was hoping for something a little darker.

I was not initially impressed with the color, hoping it would be a darker grey, but after using it some more, it has grown on me because it has a green hue.

Like the title says. It's a dark grey that in a normal pen looks like pencil lead. A super wet writer will look black.Manners are great, no feathering, quick drying, a little shading. If you want a grey ink, this one is plenty dark enough for professional use. Just a cool color.

I bought this sample on a whim because I heard it looked like pencil when written and i thought that sounded sort of odd. I ended up loving this ink and it's now one of the two inks I use in my pens at work. The shade of grey when it dries is bright and clear, with just the right amount of contrast against the page.

This is definitely not a neutral gray, as it has a very noticeable olive greenish cast/tint to it. However, like all Diamines I've tried it is very well behaved and a great value, especially in the 80 ml bottle. Personally, I strongly prefer the perfectly neutral gray color of Diamine Grey, but the aforementioned olive greenish tint of Diamine Graphite makes it a *perfect* match for the LAMY Safari, Charcoal if you enjoy matching your inks to your pens. Oh, and to me it seemed like Diamine Graphite is a bit less wet (and maybe dries even more quickly) than the other Diamine inks I've tried thus far.
