on saleDiamine Inferno Orange - Ink Sample

It's a slightly subdued color orange, fits with fall nicely. The shimmer brightens it beautifully and I love it. I want a bottle of this! just inked it so i won't know how clog-inducing it will be with my pen yet. it is just stunning! seems wet, but i didn't time the dry time. hard to stop looking at it!

Overall, the ink is very pretty, if a bit dry. It clogged my Lamy Vista, and just never really wrote as thick as it needs for the shimmer.

I was amazed at how shimmery this ink is. Sure, it requires frequent gentle shaking like all shimmer inks, but I generally have low expectations with using a shimmer ink with a glass dip pen (because truth be told, I get lazy and only shake every few dips). But amazingly enough, almost every single word with this has some shimmer! The flow is nice but wet, so be aware there. The shading, too, is lovely and really apparent. Although nothing can replace Apache Sunset in my heart, this is my second favorite orange ink ever (and this from someone who normally doesn't care for the color orange).

I've been trying to get my 17 year old into fountain pens for a while now. This ink did it. Her favorite color is orange so I grabbed the orange Pilot Metro and a sample of this ink. It's a nice, juicy orange on its own, but the minute the light catches it, you get a nice sparkling effect. Tasteful, not gaudy hunks of glitter. I was also able to get a tiny bit of shading on Rhodia paper. Soaked in quick on regular notebook paper, dry time is pretty good on both papers. Water resistance is low for the color, but leaves behind the sparkle so you can at least read what was there. I haven't seen any flow issues with the pen due to the particulate, and I don't know how it is to clean out of the pen yet as my daughter filled the pen back up the minute she ran out. I have a feeling we'll be needing a bottle of this one.
