Ink Review #1242: Diamine Twilight

Diamine Twilight is a great color for fall! I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Twilight is a dark blue with a slight green undertone.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has some pretty shading and a little bit of 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: 10 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: Low

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: medium shading, tiny pink sheen, and no shimmer. The sheen is only visible in very large swabs on Tomoe River paper.

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

Comparison Swabs:

Twilight is darker than Birmingham Cornflower, but greener than Diamine Indigo. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a Pelikan M805 Stresemann with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, this is a great color for fall, but it does have a bit more bleeding and feathering than I prefer.
