Ink Review #2671: Diamine Lemon & Lime

/

It’s Day 7 of the Diamine Inkvent 2024 Calendar! You can still find the Inkvent Calendar for sale at Cult Pens, along with many others. Thanks to Diamine for sending the Inkvent Calendar over for review!

The color:

Lemon & Lime is a bright chartreuse green.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper it has green and pink shimmer-it’s listed as a chameleon ink.

Writing samples:

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

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 20 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: medium shading, no sheen, and green and pink shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had feathering in all nib sizes and some bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Lemon & Lime is closest to Dominant Industry Spring Fields. Click here to see the green inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Lamy Sl-star Charged Green, with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a dry flow.

Overall, this ink is too pale and dry for me. The pink and green dual shimmer is interesting, but not so interesting that it makes me want to use this illegible ink. This one is a pass for me.
