Ink Review #1324: Diamine Pink Champagne

Diamine Pink Champagne is from the most recent Shimmertastic collection. I purchased my sample of ink from Vanness Pens.

The color:

Pink Champagne is a medium coral pink with gold shimmer.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink doesn’t have much shading, but does have plenty of gold shimmer.

Writing samples:

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

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: no shading, no sheen, and gold shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes but very little bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Pink Champagne has a bit more orange in it than any of the other pink shimmer inks I have. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Franklin-Christoph 45 Pink and White (aka the “bacon pen”) with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, I love the color of this ink-it’s more coral than any of the other shimmer inks I’ve tried, but it doesn’t have much shading or any sheen.
