My latest #fountainPen #Ink order has arrived: I only needed a couple of blacks (DeAtraments Document, waterproof, and basic staple Pelikan 4001), but I just had to add a few samplers of other DeAtramentis Document shades, plus the KWZ Sheen Machine.
The DeAtramentis Document White (which is sold as fountain pen safe — I wouldn't use it with anything that isn't extremely easy to clean, however) was a surprise because it actually works on black paper! (I bought it to mix it with the other shades, I didn't expect it to be useful on its own)
As for the other shades, this confirms my perception that this line is pretty great, except for the blues, that are horribly feeathering :(
I'll see what happens when I do a few mixes that involve some of those blues.

in reply to Stephen Gunnell • •The Fuchsia is one of the well-behaved ones, and it's, well, pretty much magenta. My main aim is to use it for CMKY mixes, but it also looks nice on its own.
From what I see in the online reviews the Platinum Cassis Black looks quite less saturated (I see it is an iron gall one, so that's to be expected, I guess), while this is much more straight pure magenta.
