EFNIR: Diamine Wild Strawberry

Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Diamine Wild Strawberry

This is review #297 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:


Post-recording notes: This is a nice bright red. It darkens a little as it dries. As the remnants washed down the sink, I saw both pink and orange - which seems unusual. Overall, the ink sort of reminds me of a strawberry - when wet, like the inside (paler); when dry, like the outside (darker).

Squeaks are poor Smoke being denied access to Meowmy. Bangs, thumps and crashes are Smoke and Klaw protesting Meowmy's unapproved behavior.

Cleaning was quick and easy.

Zoomed in photo (Color is a little too orange.)


Screenshot (Text is only slightly too dark, otherwise close.)


Scan of Completed Review (Close, but it seems to lean a little pink.)


Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: too light; CP: too light, too orange.)


Line width (The "I" in "Ink:". Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 301µm. With 297 inks measured, the average line width is 297µm.) (You can see the gold sheen a little.)


Microscope image (100x. Makhabesh has been busy throwing fireballs! (I see faces in two of those fireballs.))

Oh dear.

You have caught on film the evil fungus infecting my once-beautiful tomatoes.

That said, Wild Strawberry is a gorgeous ink, and with sheen? And fast dry time? Woot. MI am sore tempted. But if I get any… does it mean that every cat in the neighorhood will be outside, clamoring for 'in?'

Once again, @LizEF, you've brightened my Second Monday with your fabulous story and ink reviews. Thanks a million!

But is the not-High-Wizard prevaricating, or merely confused (which is my current state). Face it, my everyday state! 😸

I guess scarecrows won't keep the fungi away.

Cool new ink = better. Cool new ink and more cats = even more better! Get the ink!

Once again, @LizEF, you've brightened my Second Monday with your fabulous story and ink reviews. Thanks a million!

So glad to have brightened your day. May tomorrow not be Monday!

But is the not-High-Wizard prevaricating, or merely confused (which is my current state). Face it, my everyday state! 😸

You'll have to tune in next time for the exciting conclusion.... (Or continuation, anyway. )

Thanks! I don't think I could stand a third Monday in a row.

Thank you for such strawberry and cream review
I really enjoyed the colours, the microscopic images reminded me strawberry Jam, bubbling

The colour seems quite lovely. I was rechecking my Rattler Red, chroma, there's light pink, orange, yellow and red. So, it doesn't surprise there was both pink and orange in the chroma.

I'm intrigued how the story line is going and am curious to see how the librarian plays a role in all this.

Looking forward for another Tuesday magic 🙏🙏🙏

Hmm. Yes, that could be jam, couldn't it? Inks can be very interesting. I wonder if ink scientists lie awake at night wondering what might happen if they mix various dye combos...
