Ink Review #1117: Diamine Coral

I wanted a bright ink to cheer me up so today’s ink is Diamine Coral. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Coral is a medium coral pink.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of greenish-gold 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: 40 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, tiny sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen is only visible in large swabs.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes but no bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Coral is darker than Pilot Iroshizuku Benzaiten but lighter than Lamy Coral and J Herbin Corail des Tropiques. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the pink inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco-T Coral with a broad nib on a Yoseka A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s well behaved and I love this color. It’s a great ink for spring and summer.
