There are some wonderful colours in this next batch. All very well behaved and quite striking.

Every time I see your posts I'm reminded of the fact that I didn't buy the pink Pelikan M600 and I should have done! :(

http://www.vulpenspeciaalzaak.nl/ [emoji3] if it isn't listed there it's worth contacting Alexander Mengerink on FB, he has been pretty successful with my special requests. Good luck!!!

Thank you. :) Vulpens doesn't ship to England so they are out, but don't have one listed anyway.

I found one on eBay.com from Singapore for $1600 :jaw: I think I will give it a wide berth. :(

Love the fact that Diamine makes available so many of their inks in cartridge form. Sometimes cartridges are just so handy.

Thought the cartridges came in boxes of 18 though...

I can only say that the information about the new inks and the boxes of cartridges came to me directly from Diamine. I copied and pasted it. :)

Their assorted cartridge packs are twenties, I think. Given the Anniversary bottles are a different size from the standard line, it would be in keeping if the cartridge packs were too, I suppose? :noidea:

Couple of those ink names sound promising; I await with interest.

Great news! Particularly interested in Dark Forest, Tudor Blue, & Espresso. Do you have swatches by any chance?

Chrissy

I can now post some pics of the colours. Here they are: (Lilac Night had to be colour matched to the ink, rather than the paper)

You're welcome. :) I didn't see sheen, but I saw some shading.:)

Correction: I did see lovely red sheen from Dark Forest in my Seven Seas Writer journal

I do now. :) I'm also doing some reviews, but I don't have bottles to show you yet.

Oh pretty! I think I am in a little trouble. I see some possibilities there. I plan to get samples of probably 4 of these, to start.

I need to add a correction here: Dark Forest has shown up fantastic red sheen on Tomoe River 58gsm paper in my Seven Seas Writer journal. Plus I see a red halo effect with Golden Honey

Thanks, Chrissy. I think it must be Lilac Night that was in your letter?

It's odd though; I liked the sound of them, but had you asked me to describe what I was hoping for, I'd not have had a clue. But unfortunately it turns out it's not these. My reaction is more one of recognition of similarities to existing inks than "wow". I suspect it's possible I have too many inks... :D

I'm so sorry, I can't remember because I'm old and I've been to sleep since then. :( I don't think all of them have similarities to existing inks, but maybe a couple of them do. :) I know how you feel because I have too many inks too. :(

One of these days, I'll get that Diamine order in (6 months overdue) - sparkles, but I will still want to pick a free sample (if they are still doing that) - might pick from one of these.

This image is from a photo rather than a scan. Hopefully, the colours might be more accurate on it. Also, on this Tomoe River smooth paper, Dark Forest has a great red sheen and Golden Honey has a lovely red halo effect.

Like the look of Dark Forest and Golden Honey. Wondering how close Blood Orange is to Cult Pens Deep Dark Orange.

Please check this out on the individual review (https://fpgeeks.com/forum/showthread.php/20467-New-Ink-Diamine-150th-Anniversary-Blood-Orange). I used DDO as a comparison. :)
