When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

This one looks not bad but doesn't seem very special to me. I have to say Diamine's anniversary inks don't appeal to me as much as their flower set or musician set.

 

I am loving the blues in this set for sure - they complement the vast array of blues I already have which is fantastic. The flower and music sets are really exquisite, I agree.

When there is harmony in the home, There will be order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, There will be peace in the world. Bhagawan Shri Satya Sai Baba

I wish they would make the two sets of ink available separately...

 

Great news, they are available separately as of now! 30 ml bottles, so you can take your pick.

Really? I was ordering from Diamine a few hours ago but I didn't notice that.

 

If you email them directly, your wishes shall be fulfilled.

I don't normally 'do' reds but if I did, then along with Deep Dark Red, Carnival would be my red of choice. Great colour.

Thanks for the review.

This seems to lean towards the orange side of red. How does this compare to the Diamine Flower Collection Tulip?

Thank you!!! Feel free to send me a letter with this for a CRV. Also, a little sheet for the next fade olympics.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I must try the other deep dark colours, so far I'm at dd blue!! This red is lovely, like 1670 minus gold...

Totally individual and unique. Carnival does some lovely changing, moody thing and ends up darker.

Have tried my best with the time I've had, also put in a surprise ink for you to enjoy.

Is it just my dim memory or could this be a replacement for the MB Hitchcock red that so many miss?

 

I have no experience of that fabled ink, but wouldn't it be wonderful if it was?

I have exactly one line, "This is an unobtanium ink." written on a Rhodia dot pad. So no, I really don't have any experience with it either. But they both look like a rich, deep red, which seems to be what folks want, not too bright, and not pink or orange.

 

The thinner nibs were less deep or dark, though.

Sounds quite beautiful. There is something wonderfully regal about rich, deep red inks.
