Disappointing inks
(sopuli.xyz)
Do you have any inks that you wanted to buy after reading great reviews that turned out less exciting than expected?
My biggest disappointment is Diamine Skull & Roses. After seeing swatches online I expected a blue ink with a visible red sheen. Unfortunately the sheen is just not there at all, it looks like an average dark blue ink, not even blurple. I'm glad I've only bought the 30 ml bottle.
I've really liked most Robert Oster inks and haven't had trouble in my Lamy 2000 fine nib - though that nib is closer to a medium which may be helping.
Iroshizuku ink has never let me down.
I'm also a left hander, so that may play into it as well.
