Diamine Cocoa Shimmer - 50ml Bottled Ink

well, the name IS cocoa....

I thought this would be more orange... based on the photo, but the brown + shimmer comes out copper on the page - WHICH I LOVE EVEN MORE.

Beautiful warm brown ink

This ink reminds me of a warm cup of drinking chocolate (super thick chocolatey beverage - not hot cocoa!). I paired it with the shaeffer coffee series pen and it matches perfectly. Make sure to shake it well! I thought there was something about this ink that clogged my pen but I realized the first fill had more than its fair share of shimmer. Subsequent fills have been great and flow just fine. Love diamine inks.

Cocoa Shimmer

I really enjoy this ink. Stays on the paper and off the hands once dry. I've been using it for just over a month to write letters. Writes well and looks good. I do clean the TWSBI Dimond 580 I use it in before every filling.
