Liz, in case you're still listening....

FWIW, as for the sake of comparison, smokey grey has a dry to medium flow while Graphite is much wetter and also better lubed. At the same time, this Diamine is much more saturated (no, not just darker) than the Kaweco.

 

Finally my small subjectivism: actually I'm not all that hot about this grey because it's IMO, for me, personally speaking, that is, too neutral. I love any other grey ink with more than "just grey" in it. E.g. Old Man Winter!

Thanks!  Your post is very informative.  I'm with you, I want my grey leaning ever so slightly blue, though now I'm thinking Old Man Winter is a little too pale.  I'm going to try out some Payne's Grey (Callifolio and  L'Artisan Pastellier Classique) eventually and see how I like those.

Here's the line width measurement. The line is one of those used for dry time.  Magnification is 100x.  The grid is 100x100µm.  The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each.  The line width for this ink is roughly 280µm.
