My handwriting skills escape me today but have been meaning to post this review for a while so here it is anyway.

My favourite colour at the moment - I love the deep muted tone that gives and antique feel to it.

Looks equally great on brilliant white, cream, ivory or even coloured papers - though I do have a beige marble that it dosen't look so great on it makes it look muddy.

Hope you enjoy....

Your handwriting could be mine!

Nice colour especially with the Waterman.

Wow! Thank you. I've been waiting for a review of this color. I LOVE it! However, I'm a little concerned about the drying time; I'm a lefty side writer. Now if I can find a review of Diamine Teal. . .

I will review Diamine teal for you and post it later.

Drying times are comparable I would say - but the teal is 'thicker' if that makes any sense. I find it drowns me from my lamy 2k where as the Damson doesnt in the same pen.

Interesting colour,thanks for the review. Another ink to buy

I love it when people post ink reviews with different pens and nibs for comparison.

Thank you! A lovely color.

How purply is this ink?

I find it has a good deep purple colour, though it is muted.... for me this means the bright edge has been taken off of it, in this instance i would say with grey tones.

So purple it definately is.....almost black in some pens, much lighter in others. But for a brighter more vivid purple its the Imperial you should go for....

Thanks CallieJ- I suppose I'll have to see it in person before making a decision, but it is extremely tempting. Looks a bit like the purple ink in the Signo Rollerballs- a favorite of mine

I really like the Damson ink and I have it in three of my pens at the moment. I like your description of 'a deep muted tone that gives an antique feel to it' Describes it perfectly for me.

Thanks for the review

Oooh, I might have to try this. Looks a lot like some of the vintage blue-blacks, at least from here. Anyone want to do a trade? A bit of this for some of any of these:

Pelikan Black, Blue-Black; Noodler's Black, Zhivago, Legal Lapis; PR Copper Burst, DC Supershow Blue; R&K Sepia, Salix; Lamy Blue-Black.
