Sheen Monster Inks Comparison #1

[@ellzpc2609]

Colorverse have some nice sheening inks.. Like pillars of creation and I'm sure there are others on their range. I have also used Diamine Little Pip and Little Herbie... Good sheen.

[@SwayvillDelgarian]

Very nice Dave, thanks for sharing. Diamine China Blue is definitely an ink I love, but I wouldn't necessarily put it in the sheen monster category. Not sur about the others as I don't have them in my collection.

Diamine Skull & Roses would be a fair competitor for Desert Rose.

Hi Dave! I only own Amazing amethyst and Aurora Borealis out of those five. I have great sheen with Aurora Borealis, even on writing. But, like you said, I can't get even a hint of sheen with Amazing amethyst. Quite disappointing. There are most likely way better sheening inks, but here are some inks that I could advise you to check out. - Diamine : Monboddo's Hat - Diamine : Holly - Diamine : Alexandrite

2nd on Diamine Holly! Awesome ink! Also check out Organics Studio Emmerson - great sheen and not too bad dry time.

Just stuff the paper inside the bottle next time and leave it in there for a couple of days.

One of my favorite inks is Blackstone Barrier Reef. It's too bad they are no longer in business. Thanks for a good sheening ink comparison.

[@PenultimateDave]

Yes it is a shame, and they didn't even announce a closing down of the business, so really wonder what happened. They didn't have a large range of ink so I suspect with Robert Oster in Australia gaining more momentum and a lot of other boutique ink manufacturers popping up around the world it just sadly didn't become viable for them to continue.

KWZ sheen machine ,

[@PenultimateDave]

Still an ink I haven't tried in person, only tried it at the KWZ table at a pen show, it looked pretty awesome and didn't seem to smear as much as say Organic Studio Nitrogen.

And sheen machine 2. Great sheen monsters. I wouldn’t call any of this selection sheen monsters - apart from Desert Rose. Sailor Manyo Akebi and sailor Shikiori Okayama are pretty heavy sheeners too.

Dave let me know if you want me to send you some Organic Studios Nitrogen and/or Dromgoole’s Discover Green for your next sheen inks comparison.

[@PenultimateDave]

Nitrogen I do have, and that should be in the next video.
