Ink Review #1326: Diamine Neon Lime

I’ve been trying to finish up the Diamine Shimmertastic inks, so today’s ink is Diamine Neon Lime. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Neon Lime is a bright yellow-green.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some shading and lots of silver shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

Longer writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 45 in Spanish Moss with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a good happy spring green. It’s well-behaved and a great color, but it can be light in the smaller nib sizes, so I would stick to the larger nib sizes.
