Well, denim is a good word for this blue. I don't like blues that divert to purple or turquoise or orchid. And denims are never purple, turquoise, or orchid.

 

 

They could have named it Big Mac Blue, but that sounds like a Nathan ink. Nathan, how about a Big Mac Blue? Or a Blue Collar Blue?

 

For those of you under the age of 40, Big Mac was a JC Penney cotton blue work shirt for blue collar workers, and it had to match bluejeans. Michael Stivic often wore them on All in the Family. What a neutral blue!

What a great reference! Such a blast from the past. Always love hearing from you, Jeffery!

Sandy1, I have always enjoyed your reviews.

As a total techno-peasant, I often do not know how to effectively navigate web sites or posts. But this time I clicked on anything where the cursor turned into a "little hand".

Voila!

All kinds of additional information could be gleaned from your enlarged writing samples.

I'm impressed.

Though not a blue fan per se, as I was forced to use only blue in school, this Denim may be a good choice. It is quite like the colour of denim that has not been stone washed.

Indigo-like.

I like the colour & performance (& price per volume) of my first Diamine ink: Burt Sienna.

Hopefully this Denim will also please.

Thanks.

Hi,

 

I'm glad that you enjoy my wee Reviews, and are finding lots of information about the ink.

(Due to bandwidth concerns, I was asked not to include full size images of HiRes scans, so the reader must click on a link to display that image as I intended.)

 

I have used this a few times since the Review, and find it quite appealing.

 

Let us know of your experiences with this ink - especially as you are "not a blue fan per se".

 

Bye,

S1

Thanks for another great review, Sandy. I'm using it today in a medium nibbed TWSBI and I love it!! Previously, I used it in a fine nibbed Safari and I was not as keen on it. What a difference pen combination makes!

Hi,

 

You're welcome!

 

It seems that going to a wider nib usually makes a subtle ink more interesting - just because more ink is shown.

 

Was there a big difference in the tone of the ink when you changed nibs? Or was it just the increase of line width more appealing?

 

Bye,

S1

 

EDIT - to add: My Personal Pen & Paper Pick was the TWSBI + M nib. Is there a bit of majik to be found in that ink+pen combo?

When I used the fine Safari, I could see more grey undertones to the blue. In my medium TWSBI 540, it's much darker, richer and more blue. I definitely agree medium TWSBI 540 + Diamine Denim = Majik :cloud9:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
