Ink Review #246: Diamine 150th Anniversary Lilac Night

Today I will be reviewing one of Diamine’s 150th Anniversary inks. Lilac Night is a dusky bluish purple.

This ink had a regular and consistent flow. I did not experience any hard starts or skips. The color is easy to read and muted enough for taking notes.

Overall: I found this to be a pleasant and well behaved ink. The color is not up my alley as it is slightly too dark, so I won’t be purchasing a full sized bottle.
