Very elegant

Really beautiful color, light enough that you can really see the magenta, but dark enough that it reads easily and useful in many different situations.

Great Spring/Summer ink!

I decided a few months ago to try a magenta ink for the upcoming Spring and Summer seasons. In trying to find one, I ran into a lot of pink-heavy inks (which was NOT what I was looking for). Lo and behold, I happened upon Diamine Deep Magenta (don't let the deep fool you) and I am so glad I did. This is a true magenta and looks great on all colors of paper, from white to ivory to grey. In placing my order, I accidentally ordered 2 samples instead of one and in hindsight, I'm happy I did! I decided to eye-dropper convert my clear Kaweco Sport with this wonderful ink and use it exclusively for all my writing needs during the Spring and Summer. The flow is a bit drier than expected, although that could also be the pen. I will definitely be purchasing a bottle of this soon! It is a unique color and if you want to try something different, give Diamine Deep Magenta a chance: you'll be glad you did! 5 out of 5 stars!

Good strong color

I'm an editor and use a strong magenta to mark copyedits. I've tested this color in my Lamy Safari and I love it. I will be using it primarily in my Platinum Preppy for copy edits, but also for artwork doodles. I've never rated an ink in this way before, so pay most attention to my words an purpose in making your decision about it, not my ratings below. First ink color I chose myself, not what came in the pen. I don't' feel I can rate the value until I've used more than a sample, but a bottle is on my list for purchase for sure!

Wonderful Ink~!

I love Diamine. Bought Deep Magenta and Chocolate Brown a while back for my repaired Sheaffer and I am beyond pleased with the color saturation and the shading. Now I hope to add another bottle or two to my collection.Brian offers great service and his newly added app on the website shows off the wonderful colors Diamine has to offer, so if you want to see what Diamine is all about, check it out and get a bottle!

Diamine Deep Magenta Ink

An awesome color that is true to its name. It is very much in the pink family. One drawback (or advantage) is that it seems supersaturated and stains everything (cartridges, paper, fingers, etc). I'd give it five stars but I haven't used it that much. Yet.

FAQ about Ink Samples

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial.

How much writing can I do with 2ml of ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It really depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our Ink samples, or one good fill with a piston-filling pen. How much writing depends on you more than anything else, so we recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you. 

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.
