Ink Review #2676: Diamine Snow Globe

/

It’s Day 12 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:

Snow Globe is a medium blue with blue and purple shimmer.

*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 you can see a lot of the shimmer. This ink is advertised 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: low shading, no sheen, and blue and purple shimmer.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Snow Globe is a darker blue than Diamine Baltic Breeze. Click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Pelikan M200 Blue Marbled with a fine nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has a slightly dry flow.

Overall, this is a lovely ink. It is a little drier than I prefer, but other than that it’s well behaved and a nice color.
