I have decided to review some of my favourite inks. These aren't necessarily in any particular order.
I have a sample of Diamine Beethoven so here is my review of it. I think it's a nicely saturated ink in a very pleasing shade of green. Not too dark, not too yellow, and not too bright. It's a good one to have.
Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, and the nib was a wet stub, it took 16-17 secs to dry.
It flows very well and lubricates the nib very well. No start-up problems noticed.
It is currently available in the gift set in 30ml glass bottles that are stable and user friendly.
It's also now available in 30ml plastic bottles as refills.
Diamine (http://www.diamineinks.co.uk/) sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.
It's a reasonable price.
