Great review and it reminds me of the 'original' Diamine Blue-Black, before the R2.

Thank you, I always value your comments. Please do post a sample of the Blue-Black, it would be interesting to see!

I'm sure that this is the original one as I've mentioned the newer one R2 somewhere in the file name.

Diamine Teal IS dry--it wasn't your pen. I bought this ink early in my FP life and keep meaning to sell it....once I added Syo-ro and Pigeon Blue to the neighborhood (of my ink boxes), D. Teal just didn't get much play.

 

Thanks for the review.

 

best wishes,

Just about my favourite colour. Its niether blue-or-green-ness property is the attraction. Currently using it in a Sailor with medium nib in a Rhodia webnotebook. The dryness suits the paper. Thanks for the review, a bit of conformation bias in action on my part.

Thank you for these, wow the pre R2 really is close to the current teal! (I MUST get my r2 out, it looks gorgeous!)

EO, thank you for letting me know that it is the ink that is dry! Thanks for stopping by.

I agree with EO. I like the color, but find that it writes dry in many of my pens that never had that problem before. Sometimes it's a hard starter, unlike the Waterman or PR inks I usually use. Or, sometimes, I can outwrite it if it starts running dry in the nib. Maybe if you used it in a pen that was normally rather wet, it'd be a good match. If it wasn't for dry quality, it could be one of my favorites. But, it isn't.

Thanks for the review. I've just tried some sample cartridges, and like the colour and performance, but as I already have a couple of bottles of R&K Verdigris I'll probably stick with that.

I too love the color of the ink, but it seems to make every pen I put it in, cartridges, give start up problems. Seems to clog the feed.

      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
