I have decided to review some of my favourite inks. These aren't necessarily in any particular order. This is one from the Music Gift set collection: Chopin.
The water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
This isn't an archival ink
Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, and the nib was a Carene factory Stub nib, it took 11-13 secs to dry
It flows dryer than other Diamine inks, but still lubricates the nib well. No start-up or skipping problems noticed.
It is currently available in the gift set in 30ml glass bottles that are stable and user friendly. No ink wells
It's also now available in 30ml plastic bottles as refills. These aren't very stable and have quite narrow openings. No ink wells
It's a reasonable price if you want the set, or if you buy 30ml refill bottles
Diamine (http://www.diamineinks.co.uk/) sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.
