cool color, good value

Color is very transparent

A rich, deep orange that migrates toward the darker element of sunset.

Diamine inks are some of the best inks out there at a great price! I love orange ink that pops off the page. This ink is bright and rich. Flows beautifully and is one of my favorite oranges. Thank you!!

This is a very nice ink, flows well. Goulet Pens service is spot on, with minimal wait for my package.

Good ink and a great color. A typical representative of Diamine ink quality. For best results, use good paper. Will get some blead-through on cheap paper.

I'm ordinarily not the world's biggest fan of orange, but the pictures of the ink swabs here intrigued me. I do quite like this orange ink! It's got a little red to it. It writes smoothly and dries pretty quickly, I think. I can't speak too much to things like shading. But I like the color, and I'm happy with the way it writes in my orange Shark pen.

Generally, I'm not a fan of orange inks, I do have Iroshizuku Yu-yake, but I bought this one because it seemed a good balance between red and orange. Right now I have this in an Aurora 88 Minerali demonstrator with orange accents. This seems to be a wet-flowing ink and because it's darker, shading is there but it's subtle. All in all, this is just a normal fountain pen ink suitable for daily use but not for archive/permanent use, with a better color than most. Good enough for me.

It's the perfect deep mandarin orange (with a TWSBI Eco EF). I love this color.

Love Diamond inks

Very glad I bought this beautiful orange ink.

I dont know why it is, but orange inks have problems, and this is not exception. It crusts up on the nib a little (give it a quick wipe before you put it away to avoid), and it is a little dry, which paradoxically, I think that comes from it being a little oily (mentioned in another review). If you're looking for a wet ink that glides along the page, this isn't it. But, I've found that all orange inks are like this, it's a thing. That being said, if you want an orange, this is a beautiful one. No shading at all (as you can see in the picture), but vibrant and beautiful. It really makes a good showing in a nib that's more towards the broad side, or a stub. I'd call this one blood orange -- any sunset this color would be after nuclear testing. If you're looking for an orange and are willing to put up with the ills that afflict all oranges, this would be a good choice. (I have it a three for look and feel -- as state, look is awesome. Feel is not so good).

I will start with a confession. Although I have used fountain pens for over 25 years, I have never bought ink that has not a shade of black or blue. That's the kind of stick-in-the-mud, fuddy-duddy I've been, at least where ink is concerned. If I considered a green, red or purple, I'd think, it's nice, but what would I use it for? I don't think purple THOUGHTS.Funny how we sometimes limit ourselves without challenging these little embedded assumptions or where they come from. I looked on Goulet Pens and saw the beautiful orangy-red swatch of Diamine Sunset and wished to have more of THAT color of thoughts. It spoke of serenity, passion and confidence. I had no idea that those three concepts could exist within one color, but there it was!So a few weeks ago, I bought that ink, that non-blue, non-black ink. And I filled my TWSBI with it and by God, I started to write beautiful serene, passionate a confident red thoughts. This isn't just ink. It's nothing short of self-actualization in a bottle.

This is a very nice orange; goes great with my Sailor Professional Gear orange fountain pen. Less red than Noodler's Habenero and darker/deeper than Iroshizuku yu-yake, although I like both of those too. The ink performs well, pretty wet and I love the classic Diamine bottle.

Diamine Sunset is a very vibrant orange that feeds well in several of my pens. I am a very big fan of the orange but be aware that it is very bright. Currently inked in a Montegrappa Mule (F) and Monteverde Invincia (M) works great in both.

I really like this color, some shading. The issue was I let it dry out and was a mess to clean out of the feed and crusted the nib, it wouldn't write at all until I cleaned it with cleaner and water.

Pretty colour. Just the right amount of red hue in this orange based ink. Diamine has some beautiful ink at a reasonable price. Goulet's service is fast ? your product will arrive in a couple of days, securely boxed.

I really like this ink, but I have run into two difficulties with it:1) This ink is pretty oily, and the first time I used it (Lamy Safari 1.1 stub), the oil (I believe) made the pen skip quite a bit. I solved this problem by shaking the ink bottle before the next refill.2) This ink left a kind of inky gunk or crud where the nib meets the section. It didn't seem to impede ink flow, but it was unsightly. This is the main reason I flushed out the pen I was using and went to another ink: Diamine Kensington Blue.

Deep, rich orange, just a hint on the red side, with some pretty good shading in the Ahab nibs. I'll be ordering a full bottle soon!

Orange is my favorite color, but many shades don't translate well onto the page for everyday writing. I ordered Sunset after receiving Rustic Brown in my Inkdrop (go subscribe NOW, that's by far my most anticipated piece of mail each month). I loved that color and knew I wanted to order a bottle, so I opted to stick with Diamine for my first orange shade. Sunset is a gorgeous color that performs well in every pen I've tried so far. I can't give it all five stars, only because I have experienced a little crusting and nib creep on occasion, but it has not clogged and doesn't stain like some colors do. I'm a big fan, and will keep using this ink regularly for the foreseeable future!

Orange with a hint of coral. Very saturated, no shading in the Pelikan M400 Fine I've used it in. It is a very dry ink.
