Tag: 25 Days of Dupes 2022

I hope you’ve enjoyed this series. If you were unable to purchase the Inkvent Calendar, then this likely helped settle your mind about experiencing the colors. I’m sure that these 2022 colors will eventually be released individually, so hopefully this series helped you decide which ones — if any — to get.

Comparing the Inkvent Calendars

I found this year’s Inkvent calendar disappointing. There were only two inks I couldn’t match perfectly, and I’m certain it comes down to not having the right ink, as opposed to those colors being super unique. This year’s calendar was released later than last year’s, and I didn’t have the time to place additional orders trying to find perfect ink matches.

Hello, welcome to the fourth post of 25 Days of Dupes 2022. Below you’ll find the inks for days 19-25. If you have a suggestion for a possible dupe, let me know in the comments, and I’ll add it to the wrap up post.

Some reminders:

• The first image for each ink shows the inkvent ink and what I feel is the best match, swatched on Tomoe River paper.
• The second image for each ink shows the inkvent ink and the different inks I tried matching it to, swatched on Iroful paper.
• I swatched ink with a small paintbrush, and wrote with a Zebra G dip nib in the first image.
• I can’t guarantee that the color you see on your screen will be true to life. However, with all the dupes on the same page, you’ll see how the colors look in relation to each other, which is the main point of these posts.
• I’m not attempting to dupe the special properties of the inks (sheen, shimmer, scent).

Enjoy, and happy inking!

Thanks to David of the DC Pen Crew, I will once again be duping the Diamine Inkvent calender. This year, however, I’m doing things a little differently. Unlike 2019 and 2021, I won’t be doing a daily post. Instead, I’m going to share a post once a week with all the inks from that week.
