Ink set Tempest – Vintage Copper – Stargazer Bottles 3 x 12 ml by Diamine

Do you like to change ink colours regularly, but don’t want to bother with large bottles? The Diamine set is for you! It consists of 3 bottles in totally different and original colours: Tempest (grey), Vintage copper (copper) and Stargazer (blue). Each bottle allows you to fill your fountain pen 10 to 15 times (depending on the capacity of your converter).

As the shimmer inks contain fine particles, we recommend that you:

• shake the ink bottle well before filling your fountain pen
• roll your fountain pen between your hands before each use so that the particles are dispersed in the ink
• clean your fountain pen thoroughly once the converter is empty

Features:

• capacity: 3 bottles of 12 ml each
• colours: grey, copper, blue
• ink type: shimmer ink (Tempest and Vintage copper), shimmer and sheen ink (Stargazer)

Ink set Tempest – Vintage Copper – Stargazer Bottles 3 x 12 ml by Diamine

A distinction must be made between Japanese and European/American nibs. For the same line thickness given by the manufacturers (e.g. F), Japanese nibs will be thinner than European/American nibs. Thus, an F nib from Sailor (Japanese nib) will correspond to an EF nib from Jowo (German nib).

Stub

A nib with a wider than high point that allows you to make thick vertical strokes and thin horizontal strokes. More commonly known as full and loose.

IT (Italic): has the same characteristics as the Stub, but its flattened tip and angular ends will provide less flexibility in writing. It is used in calligraphy. However, it is less convenient for everyday writing, as it is advisable not to write too quickly so as not to tear the paper. The “cursive italic” variant will have the edges of its point slightly rounded (not as much as the Stub, however) to avoid this pitfall.

MS (Music): Stub nib with two slots (except for Sailor), the parts of the tip of which open out sharply depending on the pressure applied to allow a greater flow of ink. This increases the fluidity of the writing and makes it more humid. In addition to its extreme flexibility, the vertical strokes are thicker than the horizontal ones. Making it an ideal nib for calligraphy.
