INK REVIEW: Diamine Purple Pazzazz

Posted on by

Every now and then, there’s lots of excitement about a new product line in the pen community. Diamine Shimmering Inks definitely caused a lot of speculation and conversation.

When Pen Chalet asked if I wanted a bottle in exchange for posting a review with my honest opinions, my reply was, “Send me the purple!”

Diamine Purple Pazzazz Ink Swab

After gently shaking the bottle, I swabbed Purple Pazzazz (the spelling kills me!) on both a smooth card and a textured Mnemosyne Word Card.

(Important Side Note:  Mnemosyne Word Cards are no longer being produced. If you use these for your swabs and are worried about running out, you may want to get them while they’re still semi-available.)

I love the Purple Pazzazz’s color. A nice deep, rich purple and and the gold shimmer is present, but not overwhelming.

I like using Lamy Safari / Al-Star for new-to-me inks. The Safari pens perform consistently for me and nearly all inks work well in them. I selected a broad nib to encourage lots of shimmery goodness.

I’m bummed that the gold shimmer isn’t noticeable in my writing samples. I definitely gave the bottle a good shake before filling. Maybe it’s the paper (HP 32lb.) I’m using?

Gold bits aside, Purple Pazzazz (that spelling!) is a wonderful ink.  The color is a dark dark eggplanty purple. It performs well with no issues whatsoever.

Diamine is so smart. The color of the lid on each of their Shimming Inks is the color of the shimmer – gold or silver. The opening of the bottle seems a little narrow to me, but the Safari was able to be dunked in there with no trouble at all.

Making spatters is a guilty pleasure.

Lovely gold shimmy-shimmy in the spatters.

I’m going to need to give Purple Pazzazz another try. I really want to see that golden sheen in handwriting.

I mentioned above that the Diamine Shimmering Inks comes in ten different colors – below are swabs of the nine I have. I missed Brandy Dazzle, darn it.  Fortunately, Pen Chalet included a coupon in my box for 10% off my next order and I’m about to take advantage of that.

Keep an eye on my Instagram feed and here as I try out more from this line and please let me know your writing experiences with them, too!

  6. Today, I went to the beach front with my children. I found a sea
    shell and gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.”
    She placed the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab
    inside and it pinched her ear. She never wants to go
    back! LoL I know this is completely off topic but I had to tell someone!

  25. Hello, I think your web site might be having internet
    browser compatibility problems. Whenever I take a look at your website in Safari,
    it looks fine but when opening in IE, it has some overlapping issues.

  30. This can happen either because a subclass includes a slot specifier with the same name as a slot specified in a superclass or because
    multiple superclasses specify slots with the same name. Multiple inheritance doesn’t
    dramatically change any of the mechanisms of inheritance I’ve discussed
    so far–every user-defined class already has multiple superclasses since they
    all extend STANDARD-OBJECT, which extends T, and so have at least two superclasses.
    Thus, methods specialized on different classes could end up manipulating the same slot when applied
    to a class that extends those classes. London firefighters battled a spectacular blaze in a
    farm field in the city’s southeast end after flames erupted from a tractor.
    Find the best places within London. In the freezer aisle at scores of
    grocery stores across Canada, shoppers can find golden croquettes stuffed with
    pulled pork or chicken – a twist on Brazil’s most iconic street food.

  33. I know this if off topic but I’m looking into starting my own blog and was wondering
    what all is needed to get setup? I’m assuming having a blog
    like yours would cost a pretty penny? I’m not very internet savvy so I’m
    not 100% positive. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you
