Diamine Ochre

Is Ancient Copper easy to clean? Ochre was very difficult to clean out of a piston filler.

Ancient copper seems fine in my Pelikans...no red residue as you talked about with Ochre.

I found them about the same as far as cleaning. But I used them both in a C/C pen. Both took about 6-7 times filling the converter with water to get the water completely clear. In both cases the ink had been in there about a week.

I currently have Ancient Copper in one of my piston fillers. Been in there I think 3 weeks. Going to change it this weekend. It's a demonstrator so I should be able to give you a decent idea of how hard it is to clean out.

For the record -- don', don't, don't leave Diamine ochre sitting in a pen for an extended period. Though it cleans up ok, it just looks disgusting...

I regularly use the DIAMINE OCHRE and very happy with it, it’s inexpensive, looks good and cleans out easy, incidentally I just put some J HERBIN D Olive Green in the same pen without cleaning, it writes olive on the page but dries pale Ochre, nice!

Thanks for the great review! This will definitely be in my next sample order.
