Diamine Inks
Diamine has been making ink since 1864 and is one of the last remaining manufacturers in the UK. In 1925 the company created a state-of-the-art production facility in Liverpool, and despite several changes of ownership, they have remained in the same area ever since. Throughout, the Diamine trademark and the traditional production methods have survived and now in the 21st century, their fountain pen ink remains the first choice of many pen connoisseurs.
