Obsessed!

I usually don't gravitate towards these kinds of colors, but I loved this one, adding the bottle to my cart.

Loved It!

This color is so beautiful and vibrant. It looks so nice with my pink Jinhao 993 Shark. It also dries quickly so it doesn't smear which is great for left-handed people.

Fun, but not practical

I purchased this ink thinking it was a subdued, peachy pink. While it is peachy, it is not subdued. And it's not as pink as I had hoped for as it is more a shade of vibrant orange/peach. With that said, I still like the ink. I may not use it for every day writing & note taking, but fun notes & journaling I would. In my opinion, it's a great highlighting ink. Using it with a medium or broad nib is perfect for highlighting notes. Overall, this is a great ink for my ink stash.

Great Color!

This color was just the combo of pink and orange. Just what I was hoping for in a coral ink. Will be picking up a full bottle soon!

My Favorite Ink So Far

I love this ink. I'm new to fountain pens and have been trying out ink samples for the past two week. I'm really into the idea of finding a nice go to ink that I can use for journaling. I'm also a TA and I do a lot of grading so I knew I wanted one in a signature color so my students couldn't fake grades on me (I've been burned before). I really thought I wanted a brighter color than this, but I've fallen in love with this Coral. It looks pink in natural light and orange at night under my lamp. It doesn't feather or bleed on me, and I'm usually writing on computer paper (when grading) or better quality journal paper (but nothing like a midori paper quality). It's wet without puddling or taking too long to dry, and it is easy to read. I'm undoubtedly buying a full bottle of this.

Very orange coral

Definitely way more orange than I was expecting. But a nice bright color.

Nice color, but it stained my demonstrator

I used this ink for a month before deciding to switch to a new color, and to my dismay I found that there was a orangish-pink stain on my demonstrator. I did manage to clean it out after about an hour working with the pen (even though there are still pink spots here and there), but the ink seems to have damaged the feed and the piston with similar results to using rubbing alcohol. While the ink is a nice pinkish-orange color (shades with orange), I would not recommend buying this ink. This ink also does seem a little bit dry in a Western Fine nib.

Beautiful

This is a beautiful ink color and I'm sure I will be ordering a bottle soon.

Bright!

This is a lovely bright peachy coral colour - will happily use a a highlighter or marker ink, but too bright for me in a pen.

Lovely color, but too saturated for my taste...

I love the color and quality, but I prefer more shading in my inks.

Coral

A nice, orangy-pink. Writes well & seems true to the color displayed on the website.

Not my definition of coral

Coral is one of the color I prefer. My kitchen walls are coral, and I for me, this color should be a perfect mix of orange and pink - mostly orange, but with a pink undertone. Here, I can't really find the pink I was looking for. It's a beautiful color, strong and vibrant, but much more on the orange side than I expected. (The color I was looking for was found when I mixed Diamine Coral with a little bit of Diamine Flamingo Pink. There. Perfect.)

Pops off the page and punches you in the retinas

Wow this is a bright ink, and I love it. I'd imagine it would be a great ink for mixing too. And to make it even better, it develops a nice iridescent sheen when it pools on the page, such as when written with a flex pen.

My First Time

I had heard of the Diamine inks before, but never used one. I ordered the sample, and am now quite anxious to get a full bottle. The color is exactly as expected, Coral. It flows beautifully in my new Coral Lamy and dries quickly. I heartily recommend this ink!

Diamine Coral Ink.

I purchased a sample of this ink when I purchased the Neon Coral Lamy Safari. I really like the color, although I can't see where I would be using it much. This was my first Diamine ink, my previous inks have been Noodler's, Private Reserve & Lamy. From my experience with this sample, I'm sure I'll be trying some more Diamine ink in the future.

First Color Ink

I loaded it up into my Metropolitan. The color is gorgeous! No bleeding nor feathering. I love it.

Good color, but feels dry

I bought this ink to complement my Coral colored Lamy Nexx 'F'. It is a great combination those two. The only downside to this ink, in my opinion, is that it seems dry...? If I leave it in the pen unused for a day or so it took some time to get flowing again. A plus, like the other Diamine inks I have, on cheap paper it behaves very well. I probably wouldn't buy a bottle, but having a sampler size of this ink around is cool.

Frequently Asked Questions

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

The technique 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, or watch the video here:

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

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
