DiamineFountain Pen Ink 30 ml – Colour Palette – 6 x Bottles – Amber, Oxblood, Imperial Purple, Aurora Borealis, Oxford Blue, Meadow

Love these for doing “watercolour” paintingsThey also flow very nicely in a fountain penColour and quality of the in is superb

Beautiful collection of popular Diamine inks. Colours are gorgeous, ink is well saturated, writes wet and makes gorgeous lines. Meadow in particular is gorgeous, colour is much brighter on the page than expected.Such a good price point too as ordering from online pen retailers may be marginally cheaper but charge for delivery and take 3-4 days to arrive, whereas these arrived next day.Bottle is quite narrow, I filled converter with a blunt needle syringe which was fine. May struggle with piston fillers when bottle gets below half full.Written with Lamy Safari Extra Fine nib, some shading though I imagine will be stronger with a med or broad nib.

Diamine are quickly becoming one of my favourite inks. Beautiful rich colours. They all write well. My only gripe is I’m not sure if some of the inks were new or had been returned from someone before me as the Imperial Purple and Aurora Borealis bottles were not as full as the rest! I journal and like a change of colour inks when writing, so these small bottles are a good way of affording a collection of various jewel like coloured inks and Diamine do have a lot to choose from! It would be good to have the option to choose your 6 inks from a selection of the same price range though, that way I am not having to buy duplicate inks I already have, to get new colours I don’t have. They arrived quickly, with no breakages or leaks. The colours are pretty much as depicted except the amber is a bit lighter than shown I think.

The colours "Oxblood", "Imperial Purple" and "Meadow" are the best, being rich and vibrant. "oxford blue" and "aurora borealis" are not far behind. All write beautifully and fill easily. "Amber" is a real disappointment though: really weak and wishy-washy, barely visible on white paper. Reminded me of writing with lemon juice, and is equally impractical for, you know, reading. Be aware that the dinky little bottles only have a 7mm diameter opening! I fear that I may only got a couple of fills each with my barrel-filling pen because it won't go in to the bottle any deeper!

Good selection of inks, bought as a gift for someone so would have been nice for them to be in a small box or display pouch rather than just dumped in a bag.

I've very new to fountain pens and wanted to try a variety of a decent brand of ink without spending a fortune, so this was perfect. I've tried the Aurora Borealis and Oxford Blue so far and both seem really good and colours similar to those shown.Arrived quickly and well packaged, no leaks or anything.

The inks seem decent enough quality, the meadow green is especially pleasing. However, the bottles are gash, cheap plastic, the tops even worse quality. Two have cracked or split within a couple of weeks of purchase. I expected better from this brand, previously I have purchased full sized bottles which have been glass

Love all of these colours. Very vibrant. I use them in Lamy Safari fountain pen and look forward to rotating the colours.
