Ink Review #1187: Diamine Pink
/
We’ve been looking at some new inks recently, so let’s take a look at an oldie today, Diamine Pink. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.
The color:
Pink is a medium warm pink.
Swabs:
In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of 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: 30 seconds
Water resistance: Low
Feathering: None
Show through: Medium
Bleeding: None
Other properties: no 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 and just a few dots of bleeding.
Comparison Swabs:
Pink is a little less orange than Diamine Coral, but not as bright as Diamine Flamingo Pink. 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 Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink had an average flow.
Overall, I really like this ink. It’s a great color and is a good classic ink-no shading and just a tiny bit of sheen.
