It’s time to take a look at the Diamine Inkvent 2022 Calendar, days 6-10. You can find the Inkvent Calendar for sale at a few different places, including Goldspot Pens.

Swabs:

Left to right: Ghost, Alpine, Jingle Berry, Cardinal and Dusted Truffle.

Writing samples:

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

Dry Time: 40-70 seconds

Water Resistance: Low-Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: Ghost had medium shading. Alpine had low shading and silver shimmer. Jingle Berry had medium shading. Cardinal had low shading. Dusted Truffle had medium shading and silver shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was lots of feathering in every nib size as well as lots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Ghost is similar to Vinta Armada.

Alpine is lighter than Robert Oster Black ‘n Blue.

Jingle Berry is close to Ferris Wheel Press Double Raspberry.

Cardinal is a little lighter than Diamine Tulip.

Dusted Truffle isn’t close to any of the brown shimmer inks I have.

All the inks had an average flow.

Overall, I think Alpine and Dusted Truffle are my favorite out of the five since they are the most unique.
