Ink Review: Diamine Warm Brown

[Chrissy]

Today I'm reviewing Diamine Warm Brown ink It's like a light milk chocolate brown. A pleasant warm shade.


Flow Rate: Good. Feels wetter and looks more saturated in broader nibs
Lubrication: Good on several different papers.
Nib Dry-out: Not noticed.
Start-up: Immediate.
Saturation: Not particularly saturated
Shading Potential: Lots of shading seen
Sheen: Not seen
Show-Through:



Cheaper generic 80gsm printer papers & lined pads.
Field Notes
Strathmore
Tomoe River 52gsm and 68gsm

The reverse of the image shows more show-through than is actually present on the paper.



Spread / Feathering / Wooly Line: Seen on Field Notes with stub nib
Nib Creep / “Crud”: Not seen, even after several days in the pen
Staining (pen): Not seen - easy clean-up
Staining (hands): Not seen - easy clean-up
Clogging: Not seen. Seems unlikely.
Water resistance: Not sold as waterproof, but is water resistant
Availability: Available from Diamine Inks (http://www.diamineinks.co.uk) web-site and other outlets. 30ml plastic or 80ml glass bottles.

As always, a thorough and thoughtful review.

To my eye, seems a comfort color - almost like a warm bowl of stew on a cold winter's night.

Thanks again!

This would be a good color to create some interest for letters and cards.
