I was surprised by the purpleness of this ink. I ended up selling mine and went with Presidential Blue.

Hi All

 

I really dislike the purpleness of it. If I wanted purple, I would bought purple. It does not look like at all the sample on their website.

What could I do to make it blue-er?

I wont use it otherwise.

 

Thanks

I fell in love with this ink instantly. It has a vibrant, deep violet blue colour which is a pleasure to look at when writing. I've become a great fan of Diamine inks: No flow problems, broad colour range, affordable, reliable etc etc, and this is no exception from that. This has already become one of my daily regulars.

Have been using Diamine Imperial Blue for the last 10 days or so and have really taken a shine to it. I like the way it goes down purple but quickly dries to a royal blue. A very well-behaved ink that is becoming a "go to" for me.

Ooh, another ink for my wish list. I've been using Majestic Blue and this looks just as lovely. Thanks for the review.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
