Customer Reviews
I'm a fan of Diamine Oxblood and wanted a similar performing but slightly more burgundy color-this checks all the boxes for me. These inks are such a great value!
Like Mr. Brown ,I have certain ink colors I prefer. Drew Brown; brown ink. James Paterson, red hair...red ink color. Thank you for your websites!!! I love the Diamine Syrah ink color. It is a deep dark burgundy color. With alot of intencity. The photos I show... Are with a Diamine Duragraph w/ a broad nib and a Moonman New Moon pen w/ aMoonman nib. Very wet, slow dry with the broad nib although quick dry (5sec) with the moonman nib. F? Ef? I prefer a fine or ef nib. I've got stuff to learn with a broader nib. I have a flex nibb in my entourage of pens and one flex on the way.. Good talk, James
It was a much lighter shade than anticipated and that was a bit disappointing.
No bad experiences with Diamine as of yet and Syrah does not disappoint. Its a rich dark red color. It does not pop on the paper, but adds personality with a smooth shade. I've had people describe the color as red wine which seems accurate to me as well.
This ink is terrific, I also got Ancient Copper, and Marine, All the Diamine inks have been fabulous.
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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!
