De Atramentis Inks

[southpaw52]

I was wondering if their any other fans of De Atramentis inks. If so what colors do you like? Do you have any issues with nib creep?

I have 2 bottles. Fuschia and Black/Red. Like them both a lot. No problem with nib creep with the black/red but the Fuschia is very saturated and I have to be careful what pen I use it in. Presently in a Parker 45. No nib creep.

Love De Atramentis! I don't pay much attention to nib creep so I can't help you there. I just got Cola and like it a lot, it's a bit wet so it's in my Lamy 2000 which is a bit dry. Gold is really nice and easy to read. Ferdinand von Zeppelin/Atlantic Blue is great. Plum is the closest ink to a green that I like. Steel Blue has great shading. Ghandi is a nice Saffron color. Rose is a lovely rose red but the scent is a bit strong. Tobacco is a great brown with shading but the scent is floral and strong (I think they were thinking about pipe tobacco). I have some others I can't remember right now.

Ebony is a very nice dark burgundy-brown. I don't recall seeing nib creep.

I find Bordeaux Red to be neither fish nor fowl. Unspectacular.
Dark Blue is actually more of a denim blue-grey. Pretty dull, IMO.

Royal Blue is a bit better. When dry, it's not as vivid as I'd hoped. It's not a bad medium blue. I may try this a little more. Still, I prefer Iroshizuku Asa-Gao.

I have the Merlot (wine series, scented), Silver Grey (Xmas series, scented), and Plum Blue (scented). No issues at all with nib creep. I love all three of them - lovely colors! The Silver grey is cinnamon scented but that fake cinnamon scent so I don't like the smell all that much, and it's pretty strong. But it's a really nice color.

I'm a big fan of Kermesin Red, Aubergine, Elderberries, and Cabernet Sauvignon. No problems with nib creep on any of the above.

+1 for Silver Grey and Aubergine. Aubergine is a bit wet.

I'm a real fan of the DeAtramentis inks, at least those I've bought.
My favorites are Maron (a faaaaaaaanTAStic and distinctive green/brown/grey), Indigo Blue, and Schwarzbraun (black/brown). Along with Diamine which never lets me down, DeAtramentis is right up there.
