- Fountain Pen Ink, Oxblood 30 ml

Love Diamine ink. There are so many colors! This is a very pretty and fun ink that you can use in public, I think, for a bit of whimsy without being extremely "out there." I've used it for a couple of letters, and the recipients enjoyed it. And it looks better when you spill it on your hands than black does. I appreciate that Diamine inks are much less expensive than most others, and I think you really get value for your money.

It is a beautiful ink color. I haven't seen much bleed-through and it hasn't clogged my pen.

This review is of the color Damson ink. (Amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!) Also, the rounded glass bottle shown on the Damson product page is actually the larger bottle and is not what you will receive. If you order the 30ml bottle, it is a plain, tall rectangular plastic bottle. The ink is the same, just less of it, and the bottle isn't as pretty. I was expecting the bottle that is shown on the product page, but for the price, the smaller plain bottle is OK. I really like this ink. It flows well in my fountain pens and is not hard to rinse out of them. It's a pleasing, slightly smoky or muted purple, and a nice change from black and blue inks. Edit for an additional review of Diamine Amazing Amethyst ink: I've also bought a 30 ml bottle of the color Amazing Amethyst ink by Diamine. Amazon sent me an email wanting a review, but it linked to this review of Diamine Damson ink. Again, amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!! Grrrr.... Anyway, I like Diamine inks in general and both Damson and Amazing Amethyst in particular. The Amazing Amethyst is a brighter, richer purple, but still dark enough for most uses. In an average or wet-flowing pen, the color is very rich, deep, and jewel-like. I especially like it with a stub nib pen. I have one pen, though, that is a very dry writer, making this ink look washed out (but that pen makes every ink look washed out!) In short, both Damson (muted deep purple) and Amazing Amethyst (rich deep purple in most pens) are great inks.

I like this color! It's darker than a true yellow and leans more orange. However, the ink can be quite light and hard to read depending on the pen. It dries fast on paper, no drying in the pen, and is so great for the price.

This ink is quite beautiful and is perfect for my project.

Arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. True to description and the correct color. Would purchase from this seller again!

Ancient Copper is a beautiful brown

I'm trying to find a sepia that would mimic the look of antique and ancient writing. I that I thought I might have to darken this a bit, but it is fine the way it is. With an EF nib on Kokuyo paper, it soaks in well without feathering and has enough contrast to be quite legible. Also tried by dipping with a fine nib. After drying it looks great. Flows very well out of an inexpensive Hong Dian EF nib and is juicy enough to bring out the darker shades when it dries. With a broad nib it should even be darker and shaded. On an antique white or cream-colored paper, it may look even better. Nice ink!

I dislike intensely the plastic bottle. Why not glass for those of us who use fountain pens and dip pens? Why not glass in these times of banishing plastics? The tall, unsteady plastic bottle has made me revert to my other brands ..shame because the colours of this brand are good. For me the bottle is a very important factor when purchasing inks. I re-use the too.

Bought from seller: Penz Solutions It came generously wrapped in bubble wrap, great packaging, no leaks, came in perfect condition. The bottle design and label design is different than the one advertised in the product listing but it is indeed Kensington blue. For the ink review theres a couple youtube videos that you can watch. In my opinion a good Indigo blue ink.

Beste Tinte überhaupt! Fließt sehr gut und trocknet schnell Der Farbton "China Blue" ist einmalig, hebt sich komplett von sämtlichen standard Blautönen ab.

Great product for calligraphy or painting. However I would say it's more orange than peach (pic attached for reference)

Wenn die Tinte fließt, schreibt es sich sehr angenehm. Durchbluten oder Ausfransen habe ich nicht festgestellt. Majestic blue hat für meinen Geschmack etwas zu wenig Varianz in der Sättigung, das ist aber Geschmackssache. Aufgrund der Anschreibschwierigkeiten, kann ich mit der Tinte nichts anfangen.
