Not the same color

I bought these in cartridges and was so excited for them to arrive. However, I've tried this in two different pens and I am not getting the result that I see here. When I write with it, it's a faded brown. I'm so disappointed.

I love the color. The price was reasonable. Delivery was great.

Beautiful but Dry!

First of all, I have enjoyed many of the Diamine inks I have tried. I find them to be a great bang for your buck. However, almost immediately after filling this ink up in my Twsbi Diamond 580 (M), it was so dry and I had many issues with this ink flowing onto paper. I could hardly finish a few sentences before having to wait with the pen faced nib down before I could write again. I've never had that issue with any other ink, or at least to this degree. I do not have any other fountain pens to try this ink out in order to compare its performance, but I am sure some pens would work better with this dry ink. Otherwise, beautiful ink color with great shading!

Autumn Oak

Like some other reviews, I want to start off with praises. I think that Autumn Oak is a very pretty color and if you're looking for something that feels like fall, I'd say this ink is a great place to start. It shades nicely from yellow to burnt orange and differences in pressure and writing angle can produce some lovely diversity in color. Furthermore, in my writing, the ink doesn't take very long to dry, even when there is a heavy amount on the page. The merits of this ink do justify a purchase, I would recommend this color to anyone looking for a good fallen leaf type of ink, but my recommendation comes with some drawbacks. Unfortunately, as good as the ink looks, there is something about it that makes it feel very thin on the page. I've tried it in both a Lamy Al-Star in Fine and a TWSBI Eco in Fine, and in both pens, the ink almost feels like it isn't there. Other Diamine inks glide along the page, in the Eco especially, but this one just seems to make the writing experience profoundly scratchy. Perhaps the writing experience is different in broader nib sizes, but in my experience, the feeling of this ink on the page is a big drawback.

Autumn Oak

Favorite time of year I had a feeling this was for me. I wasn't wrong. Love the color and how it lays down on the paper.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We do not accept returns for ink that has been used. Otherwise, we accept returns on unused ink products for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.
