Sorry, cant help with inks, maybe in the future.
Just wanted to ask, when you say warning about Diamine, do you mean the brand in general or that perticular colour?
Fair enough, just curious as next Monday Im going to order an 80ml bottle of black and possibly a couple of samples.Seems like the reported issues I've read have been about Diamine's orange inks only but even those reports are inconsistent so..who knows

I'm glad you said that, I chose that colour as it looked the darkest of the black inks. Then I noticed you mentioned that you had been using it, in this post I think.I've been using the Diamine Onyx black in 6-7 pens now and that's one solid ink - I like it a lot.
In general, Diamine inks are the 'safest' on the market; I have 't tried all of them, but the half dozen or so I've tried have been excellent. Another excellent 'safe' ink is the Watermans line. I've heard some not so good reports on Noodlers inks. As a long time collector of vintage and modern fountain pens I've limited my inks to those produced by Diamine and Watermans; I just don't want to take a chance with some of the trendy/artisanal/boutique inks gumming up my pens regardless of the 'blingy' colours available.Sorry, cant help with inks, maybe in the future.

I will deffinately try Diamine before and if I branch out. Im not planning on trying lots of different inks but who knows what will happen.In general, Diamine inks are the 'safest' on the market; I have 't tried all of them, but the half dozen or so I've tried have been excellent.

Be careful now: fountain pens and inks are the same slippery slope as wet shaving gear; the AD bug will bite you when you least expect it. But, as is the case with wet shaving, they're great fun and will give you many hours of enjoyment. Bring on the FPAD and the IAD.I will deffinately try Diamine before and if I branch out.

Only ink I heard warming on pen forum from Diamine range was ancient cooper
