Diamine Chocolate Brown ink tested in a wet medium nibbed Sailor Sapporo fountain pen on Paperblanks off-white ruled paper.
Very good flow in this wet writer. Ink is very saturated though some shading is evident.
Color of a very dark chocolate. Sort of reminds me of Noodler's Red-Black which I like but I find the Red-Black takes forever to dry on any paper.
This one is definitely a keeper, though I might like it even more in a thinner nibbed pen.
Buy Diamine Inks in the UK at The Writing Desk or directly from Diamine and in the US from The Pear Tree Pen Company Ink is sold in 80ml glass bottles, 30 ml plastic bottles, and selected colors are available in cartridge form.

Oooh, that's a lovely one. I find it hard to find just the right brown. Do you think it would work well in a slower writer like a fine/ xfine Safari? Diamine can be picky in those. I might stick to plain old Waterman Havana till I know. :)
Hi Diane!
I have a few Safari's that write "thin" but I'm almost finished testing the original 60 Diamine inks and out of all of them, only a small handful did I find to run dry. (Though I didn't test every ink in every pen) If you don't want to but a full bottle, try a sample from Pear Tree Pens Ink sampling program
