Okay, I figure I want to expand my ink library, currently only 5 right now. I am a very modest user of inks so the 80ml bottles I have have plenty of life left in them. I recently found that Diamine has 30ml bottles for sale, and over a hundred colours to choose from.
I need to get (okay, "want" to get) enough bottles to justify the 10GBP shipping charges, as each bottle is only 2.67GBP. I've narrowed it down to 6 different colours. I could go crazy, but alot of colours are very similar to each other, and just now, I was writing with Diamine Grape, and it changes colour on me, depending on the paper, how much writing I did in one continuous stretch, and so forth. A fresh start of it comes our really dark, almost black like, while continuous writing of a page or more, lightens it up a it.
Anyways, I don't want to get versions too similar to each other. I've decided on:
Syrah
Chocolate Brown
Teal
Ochre
Evergreen or Green/Black
Imperial Blue
I don't want anything too light, and I like darker inks more than lighter inks.
I already have:
Diamine Grape,
Noodlers forest green
MB midnight blue
MB oyster grey
Parker Quink blue.
I am not all that satisfied with my oyster grey, and the forest green was a 2nd choice green. I might swap them with a fellow local fp user one day. The Grape and the midnight blue are really my go to inks so far.
What do you think of my choices so far? And how do you refrain from buying them all up??? (That's my real dilemma) At 2.67GBP it's so tempting. Like 2 slices of pizza!!!!!
Any suggestions?
