on saleDiamine Earl Grey - 30ml Bottled Ink

I was afraid that this ink was going to be too much like black or blue black. The variations are gradual. The ink flows evenly and dries fast enough for me not to make a mess. Diamine makes great ink.

I write with this ink every day on Hobonichi and Clairefontaine papers with a Sailor TUZU (M nib), and it's so solid but not too dark or too light. Diamine inks are consistent for me, just the right amount of wet, and I will use this ink in many pens, low and high end.

I was delighted to finally obtain some excellent inks. I use a fountain pen every day. Getting good colours was almost impossible until a friend told me about Goulet. Now I have the perfect colour.

Earl Grey is a darker gray without getting too close to being black. It is a classy and professional looking ink. It is well behaved and not given me any troubles. In my Pilot Explorer, with a fine nib, the ink dries lighter than it goes down, which earns it some bonus points with me. I am not sure why, but I like inks that shift shades as they dry. I will certainly be getting another bottle of this ink and recommend it.

Diamine inks are always so reliable and high quality, and Earl Grey is a beautiful shade. Even though it's grey, it has tinges of purple and silver too, really lovely.
