Diamine New Century Flamingo Pink Ink tested in an off-white ruled Paperblanks journal with an EF Lamy Safari fountain pen.

 

Decent flow, though a bit on the dry side. Another Diamine ink that I don't think is responding well on an off-white paper.

 

I'm not liking the color at all because it doesn't seem to know what color it wants to be. It's an orangey pink. Moderately saturated, it shows a lot of bright pink shading. Shows more pink on the white Rhodia paper. It's kind of like an original Hubba Bubba Bubble Gum pink. My favoriteDiamine pink is still Cerise which is a more bluish pink than a reddish pink.

 

Buy Diamine Inks in the UK at The Writing Desk or directly from Diamine and in the US from The Pear Tree Pen Company Ink is sold in 80ml glass bottles, 30 ml plastic bottles, and selected colors are available in cartridge form.
