Got to keep those stewards on their toes. In the warm up circle for tomorrow: Pelikan 4001 Brilliant Black (my go-to work ink) and Pelikan Edelstein Onyx.Nice review again, Owen! Wow, enabling me on ink and poking fun at James's spelling, quite a 2fer!
I do like Diamine ink, haven't used a blue by them yet....
Oh, the I am not doing it right. I am running under a faucet for about five second, then air dry one side, and wipe the other. I guess I can do another water test your way and add it.Nice shade and another nice review.
How long is the water test done for? Just wondering, I dunk mine in the sink and leave it for a minute, then run water over it. Diamine blues usually go away, yours sticks -- excellent!
Yeah, that would be good. Maybe make two templates- one for just about everything, and a separate for water testing. That way the water test doesn't get the chance to ruin the rest of it (my water test for Edelstein Topaz got a little out of control)I'm not sure there is any standard, I was only mentioning it to compare to my testing.
I would be interested to know. Maybe we could include a method in the heading for water test on the template.
I agree- maybe we can discuss it here and hash it out- I have two more reviews on tap for tomorrow.for the record, my spelling when writing is usually really good its typing i suck at lol
Nice review Owen, I agree that maybe we should come up with a standard water test
No doubt, Mark. I am pretty impressed with the color.This is one of my favorites. A very dark blue. Perfect transition to blue for those guys who think they only like black ink!
Here is my review of Diamine Denim. I really like this ink, and will probably buy it in the future. Thanks to Mendel for the sample.
on edit: forgot the picture.
Here is one minute submerged, then five seconds faucet time.
I am really liking it, too. Thanks again for the sample. I foresee the Sargasso Sea review coming up on Saturday (tomorrow is already spoken for)Great review! I'm glad you enjoyed the sample. As you know, Denim is one of my favorites!
No doubt, after what you said about other Diamine blues I wasn't having much hope. This looks pretty good.That letter could easily be dropped in a puddle and still be delivered!
Yeah, I think I will do that. I will do the faucet trick on the formal sheet, then take a scrap paper and do a dunk test for a minute.maybe we should have 2 water tests for the official B&B Nib form, one to simulate a complete dunk like falling in a puddle, and one to simulate rain or a coffee spill
one water section to run under the faucet, and one to dunk in the sink
