Hello Again,

 

I offer a brief review of Diamine Sunshine Yellow with a brief comparison of Sheaffer King's Gold. I hope it is of use, and at the very least brings some sunny cheer! As always, I welcome comments and reflections.

Nice review! I wouldn't have thought a yellow ink could be so attractive. I don't currently have a use for a yellow ink, but it's good to know that this is available. And I really like your handwriting, consistent, easy to read, and with a nice style.

Neat review! What pen(s) are you using?

There are two inks strike me as good replacements for Sheaffer King's Gold: J. Herbin Ambre de Birmanie and De Atramentis Gold.

Fun review. I would never have thought a yellow ink could be useful. I like this.

What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it's all about?

Hi, glad you liked it! Thank you for your very kind comments and for reading the review.

 

Neat review! What pen(s) are you using?

 

Hi, the main review pen is one called Yiren (Chinese). The other colours vary from more Chinese pens incl. 149, x450, Wing Sung 036, Sheaffer Prelude and a Waterman Carene!

Hi, I would love to try DA Gold, but haven't found it in the UK yet!

It was such a pleasure doing this, I'm glad you liked it!

 

Yellow ink is great for mixing!

 

Oh yes!! I found incredible matches on the tissue as I was refilling various colours! Can't wait to mix my own King's Gold.

 

Great review thanks!

 

YW, I'm glad you liked it!

 

What colour paper was your review written on - is it "plain" white or a cream?

 

Hi it's plain ol' white Basildon Bond Recycled A5 size. It behaved SO well, I'm delighted! The orange is wild on cream paper, esp Conqueror.

DA are also in the EU (Germany?) so it should be fairly easy to buy directly from the manufacturer:

Thanks for your responding post. It is more versatile than I thought. On the list to try.

 

Hi, yes do try it, I was pleasantly amazed at the result. I found a thicker line far more robust and pleasant compared to a fine line. It is such a happy little ink.

Lovely ink and handwriting! I was surprised at how easy-on-the-eyes the color is. Some yellows are hard to read, but this one wasn't at all.

Wonderful review! Do you have any brown Diamine inks?? Perhaps mixing a small amount of brown with Sunshine Yellow will make a colour similar to King's Gold?

Hello! Thank you for your kind comments, I am glad you liked the colour, it is far easier on the eyes than some yellows.

Thank you also for looking. Yes I do have some exciting browns, and my eye is on Ancient Copper and/ or Pelikan Brilliant 4001 both of which I love at the moment! Thank you for affirming my guess!

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Outstanding! That looks like a yellow that one could actually use for correspondence, journal writing, etc. I may have to put this on the Wish List.

Thank you. It truly is a gorgeous colour that I have used quite a bit since it arrived. It does some amazing things on cream paper! Would love to hear of your experience when you get some.

Nice review never thought a yellow ink could be bright enough to see on paper.
