I have decided to review some of my favourite inks. My samples are sent to me by Diamine inks.
This one is from the latest Diamine 150th Anniversary inks Terracotta. It's a typical terracotta shade. Inks that are in this colour range seem to be less lubricated than some other ink colours, but it's still a nice flowing ink, and I like the colour. It reminds me of Diamine Ancient Copper but they aren't quite the same. Ancient Copper is more red and is slightly more saturated than Terracotta.
Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink.
Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, and I used a M nib and a F nib, this ink took 12-14 secs to dry
It flows reasonably wet, and although it lubricates the nib OK I have used inks that have had better lubrication than this one, and I prefer inks with slightly more lubrication.
It is currently available in 40ml "cake slice" shaped glass bottles.
