KWZ Iron Gall Green #1. This is a nicely saturated, nicely shading, blue-tinted dark green ink that is well-behaved on poor paper and cleans up very easily.

One Minute Ink Review: Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst
Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst. February’s birthstone is the amethyst, which brings to mind this beautiful ink. Pelikan Edelstein Amethyst is a red-leaning purple, so maybe not the perfect match for the gemstone. But it’s a great color: friendly while still being clear and easy to read. It’s got lovely shading. And to top it off, it’s easy to clean, a rare quality in a purple ink.
An everyday ink? If I used purple everyday, oh yes.

One Minute Ink Review: Diamine Bach
Diamine Bach. Last month was Mozart’s birthday, so I did a one minute ink review of Diamine Mozart ink, here. Bach is another ink from Diamine’s music set, and another lovely dark reddish brown. Bach, the ink, is darker than Mozart.
An everyday ink? Yes, it could be, for me. I love a dark brown.
Here is a comparison with Bach on the left and Mozart on the right. When you put them in the same pen, they look very close in color. Sometimes I can hardly tell them apart.

One Minute Ink Review: Diamine Mozart
Diamine Mozart. It’s January 27, 2016, which is the 260th anniversary of Mozart’s birth. Diamine’s excellent Music Set includes a Mozart ink, which is a lovely, dark reddish brown with great shading. Diamine Mozart is a wetter ink, but I still like it in a wet pen
An everyday ink? It could be, for me. And today is a good day for it.

Ink Review: KWZ Dark Brown
KWZ Dark Brown. This is an ink that is so very dark brown it’s essentially black, to me. But it’s not only an attractive lighter black ink, it’s also an astonishingly well-behaved black ink. Even on very poor papers, and with wide nibs, I could not make it feather even a little.

One Minute Ink Review: Diamine Carnation
Diamine Carnation. The January “birth flower” is the carnation, and today happens to be the twelfth birthday of Tara, a beloved family member, albeit of the Labrador Retriever persuasion. Diamine Carnation is a great ink to bring birthday cheer, being a sprightly pink that’s surprisingly legible and unsurprisingly happy.
An everyday ink? I suspect that if we all used Diamine Carnation daily, the world would be a better place.
