Today I'm reviewing Diamine A Night in Jodhpur ink.
Diamine A Night in Jodhpur is a Diamine Exclusive ink made specially for Papier & Stift in Germany.
This is a saturated dark sky blue/turquoise type colour with dark pinkish red sheen. It doesn’t have such a heavy sheen as the Organics Studio very high sheen inks, nor KWZ Sheen Machine, but has more sheen than a “standard” ink.
It didn’t suffer from any hard starts or non-starts when I put the uncapped pen down to do swab tests, dry times and water resistance.
I found no start-up problems after leaving the pen overnight.
It dried quite quickly and once dry it didn’t smudge or smear.
I noticed there was a tendency for the ink to stick in the top of the converter when I turned the pen nib up. It may only be because Lamy converters have no agitator inside, but it was something I checked before starting to write.
I really enjoyed writing with it. It reminds me of another favourite Diamine Exclusive ink: Jalur Gemilang from Malaysia. A Night in Jodhpur is a little darker than Jalur Gemilang.
I saw a bit of showthrough and bleedthrough even on my 100gsm smooth coated paper, but I could still have written on the reverse of all of the papers I used.
Sheen is usually more visible when using pens with good flow and broader nibs on smooth papers where it doesn’t soak in immediately.
