Ink Review #1120: Diamine Deep Magenta

Today’s ink is Diamine Deep Magenta. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Deep Magenta is a medium magenta; right in-between pink and purple.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of green sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: low shading, tiny green sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen is only visible in large swabs on Tomoe River Paper.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Deep Magenta is a little bit pinker than Waterman Radiant Pink and Monteverde Gratitude, but more purple than Callifolio Andrinople. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the purple inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Transparent Orange with a medium nib on a Yoseka A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a good ink-affordable, pretty well behaved and a good color.
