Diamond Emerald Ink

The ink flows well from the pen and has vibrant color. When writing, I have only on occasion smudged the ink as it does dry fairly quickly, making it easy to use when writing quick notes, so long as I'm not too quick. The variation in the shade when writing is lovely.

Truly a gem! (see what I did there?)

I purchased this as a Christmas gift for my boss. We both have an interest in fountain pens, or as he calls them true liquid ink pens. He's very proud of his Irish heritage, hence the color choice. I got the bottle, and was about to wrap it, but I couldn't resist. I opened her up and filled a used cartridge, and it wrote beautifully. The color is true to form too. I'm sure he'll love it.

bad Ink

Diamine inks are so many, yet the quality is sub par. The nib dries so fast regardless of color and it's very frustrating to use the pen. After using used pilot and pelikan inks, you may not want to fill Diamine inks! Besides Diamine Emerald Green is very uninteresting and doesn't pop on any paper.

Diamine - Emerald Green

The quality of the ink is great. I glad I bought the sample size though. The shading example on the website is a much deeper shade of green than what I am experiencing with the paper that I use (which I buy from Staples). I was hoping for likeness closer to British Racing Green, what I am getting is more a diluted version. I also bought a TWSBI Eco and it is just great.

Diamine inks have some regular features; good drying time, good flow, good saturation. This emerald ink matches those qualities perfectly. What really stands out is the color. Not obnoxiously bright, but not too close to black. It even cleans up well.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
