I'm currently reviewing some of my favourite Diamine inks. This one is from the Flowers Gift Set and is called Iris.

 

 

  • Water test on the review form shows this isn't a waterproof ink
  • Bearing in mind the paper I use is very smooth, this ink dries quickly.
  • It flows very well and lubricates the nib very well. No start-up problems noticed.
  • It is currently available in the gift set in 30ml glass bottles that are stable and user friendly.
  • It's also now available in 30ml plastic bottles as refills.
  • Diamine sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.

Thank you Chrissy. It appears a little chalky, but I can't tell if that's the scan. I know Vis isn't a huge fan of purples, but I love them. Thanks again.

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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
