Diamine Oxblood - Homemade!

Recommended Posts

Right so I was looking through my drawer one day and found a bottle of Sheaffer Red, Black, Royal Blue and Brown.

 

I thought I should attempt at making something like Diamine Oxblood from these inks. It turned out AMAZING. The ink shades beautifully and the colour is way too good. Hope you'll enjoy :)

Right.

 

So the ink is very smooth and it writes beautifully.

 

 

It's got a good dry time and shades well as well, you can zoom in on the uploaded photo if you like.

 

So overall, these are the scores I'd give it:

 

Smoothness: 4/5

 

Wetness: 4/5

 

Shading: 5/5

 

Drying time: 3/5

 

That gives us 18/20, which is quite respectable IMO.

 

 

Attaching the file so you can download it if you want to.

Looks more like a wine colored ink (Syrah?) rather than an Oxblood clone

 

Maybe due to scanning?

 

I have a bottle of Oxblood and they look very similar, it's quite uncanny.

And the mixture ratio is....

Sorry about that. I don't remember it/didn't really use one, I just keep on adding whichever colour until I reached the desired shade. When I mix up another batch, I'll use a ratio.

Yeah from the scans it looks nothing like it

      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
