Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, 80ml - Sargasso Sea

Eigentlich ein schönes sattes Blau, aber leider stinkt die Tinte nach verschimmeltem Leder. Der Schreibgenuss wird durch diese olfaktorische Belästigung nachhaltig getrübt. Daher nicht zu verwenden. Sehr schade!

Recommended by the Canadan pen expert known as Doodlebud: strong, lively blue ink, of striking impact, from the well-known (and British) Diamine ink company. Beats many other commonly available blue inks hollow.

This ink is phenomenal. Very well lubricated, spreads nicely, and settles into a beautiful two-tone effect in the heavier strokes. An absolute pleasure to write with. Tested using an ultra-flex nib with no railroading, pooling, or flow issues. The ink keeps up with the nib even under heavy flex and lays down smoothly. It actually has a very similar feel on paper to higher-end inks like Émeraude de Chivor, but at roughly half the price point. Highly recommended. 5 stars.

VERY swift shipping, got it 2 days after i ordered it. Packaging and bottle were in great shape- looked fresh off the shelf. Thank you so much!!! This ink has a golden red sheen to it- it appears on medium-to-very-wet pens, meaning, not TOO wet, but not too light either; I haven't tried it with fine nibs, but I have tried it with medium nibs and it shows well on slightly resistant paper. The acid-free paper I tried it on seems to absorb too much ink from the nib and affects the visibility of the sheen. The swatch they show is fairly accurate, though for the pen I use it's come out richer than that, like the top tip of the swab shows. I was afraid that the golden red sheen would be too intense on the blue color of the ink, but it truly is a rich, saturated blue, like a deep dusk to night hue, with little dustings of shine, like a star behind each letter. It is very beautiful and well worth every dollar. I use my pen every day for signatures and small status update notes at work, and I've used about 3 ounces of it over the course of 3 weeks. The glass bottle was green for me, so don't be alarmed! When I first opened it I thought I got an ugly dark green color by accident, but i was pleasantly relieved when i opened the cap. LOL This ink has started me on a journey with Diamine inks. Originally when i saw the swabs for their colors I was mostly uninterested, except for the anniversary ink, which also has a sheen. I was pleasantly delighted with this particular ink and have since quested for more rich, saturated Diamine inks. Not too wet, not too light- a perfect ink for an everyday writer and artist. Thank you again!

I would not use any other make!
