I hope you’ve enjoyed this series. If you were unable to purchase the Inkvent Calendar, then I hope this settled your mind about experiencing the colors. I can only assume that the 2021 colors will eventually be released individually, so hopefully this series helped you decide which ones to get.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Comparing the Two Inkvent Calendars<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I definitely preferred this year’s calendar to 2019’s. There were actually some unique inks, including some I had to make custom mixes for, rather than a bunch that were practically rebottled versions of standard colors. However, I still feel like Diamine could do better. It shouldn’t be possible to dupe a color in the Inkvent Calendar with a Diamine Ink. That means the colors aren’t “new ink colors that can’t be found anywhere else in Diamine’s existing ranges.” But, I have to at least give Diamine credit for the improvements, especially the additional of multishaders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

I’ve seen some people complain about a lack of variety in this year’s Inkvent Calendar in comparison to 2019’s, so here they are side-by-side. I also went through and actually “ran the numbers” \u2014 see the table below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While I can’t really say that this year’s had less variety, I do think it’s interesting that there wasn’t a single green ink. Diamine could have put in 2 greens and only 4 blues. And maybe 1 teal, 1 turquoise, and 3 reds. More interesting to me is the change in distribution of the “special” inks. They cut the sheening inks by \u2154 and put in half again as many shimmers. I wonder if any of these changes were based on sales of the full-sized bottles of the 2019 inks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    During the course of this series, I both had other possible Ink Dupes suggested, and found a few possibilities online. I’m providing them here for you to test out. Keep in mind, I haven’t compared them to the Inkvent inks, so I don’t know how accurate these are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
