Diamine Fountain Pen Ink

I heard quite about about this ink so I was really looking forward to the opportunity to try it. This ink is available in the US and Canada at a variety of sources.

History

Diamine Ink BottlesThe history of the company dates back to the 1800's. The company was founded in 1864, in London, under the name T. Webster and Co.

In 1925 the company moved to Liverpool. In 1964 the company changed its name to Diamine.

Writing Inks

In addition to their own lines, they have been making ink for other company such as Yard-o-Led. It was in 2003 the company introduced the Diamine line under their own name in the US market.

Diamine inks are produced in the United Kingdom and company offers drawing, calligraphy and writing inks.

I have been using Diamine ink for a number of years now. I had the opportunity to test the majority of their colours. Overall I am pleased with the performance of the ink. I say that with some reservation on certain colours. I have noted those concerns in the reviews.

The bottles are 80 ml which means you are receiving about one-third more than the typical 50 ml bottle. The price is reasonable compared to other brands. See my comparison of ink prices.
