on saleDiamine Seasons Greetings - 50ml Bottled Ink

Goulet pens & Diamine inks delivered! I am in love with this ink. I am a huge blue/black fan and when I ordered this ink I was hoping it would be a bit more subdued than it looked in the photo. I was pleasantly surprised as this ink writes very much like a green/black with only a hint of the reddish sheen. Just an absolutely gorgeous ink. Goulet shipped expediently and gave great care and thoughtfulness with the packaging. I will definitely buy again from Goulet pens!

High quality, smooth flowing ink. Love the look and line! Highly recommend!

I love this ink! It has a lovely subtle sheening to it when used on high quality paper. The color itself is a lovely deep blue-ish. It flows well and makes a decently broad line in my Lamy Safari pen. I use it regularly.

It's odd for me to think about this as a Christmasy ink, because it's so very dark. It's a monster sheener, so when writing with it you can see that very little of the teal comes through, and the sheen appears red in some areas and black in others. As a monster sheener, the ink smears easily and takes a very long time to dry. I think I'd prefer to use it on non-fountain pen paper, given that, so that it has a chance to absorb a bit- I haven't tried this, so feathering might occur with that. It's worth noting that the medium nib on Narwhal pens is more like a broad nib. In a finer-nibbed pen this might be less black/red and more teal. Overall, it's not bad but to me it's more hassle than the colors warrant. The attached photos show a swatch on Clairfontaine 90gsm paper, and the letter was written on cream Yamamoto Cosmo Air Light 75gsm paper using a Narwhal Schuylkill fountain pen with a medium nib.

The base color is a dark green, with a red-black sheen on quality paper. Flow is average, so it should work well in most pens. On quality copy paper, it is just a dark green ink, but still attractive. Another winner from Diamine for a sheening ink.
