You're welcome KCat... :)

Having suffered through just 2-pens in the last 2-weeks with just 3-ink colors, I loaded pens last weekend for a new rotation. I do the reviews for my own personal reference -- so that I remember each ink/pen combination's particular characteristics. I only post the ones that I don't think anyone's reviewed before. If there are repeats, mods please feel free to delete them as you see fit. Thanks!

Ever use this one in a Safari? Me likes the generous flow. Nice colour too. :thumbup:

What pens and colours did you use on your trip?

An excellent review of one of my favorite darker blues. As to having multiple reviews on the same ink, the more the better! A review is, after all, one person's experience and opinion, so the more reviews we have, the more information we get on an ink. (This doesn't mean I disagree with anything in this review -- I don't. In fact, I would just say "ditto" imho to all girlieg33k said.)

Thanks for the review! Although I love all Diamine blues, the Prussian Blue is somehow not to my liking. Too washed out and boring for me. Blue Black is much nicer than this one in my view.

Thanks for the review. It's one of the inks that I'm considering buying, but not actually doing so in the end. This tilts the balance in favour of buying. Am I correct in assuming that this the exclusive Noodler's for Rolf of missing-pen.de?

Very nice review. This is my favorite ink, and your review looks pretty accurate in terms of color by my eyes/monitor.

I just got a bottle of this today and loaded a Pelikano Jr. with it, which is a fairly wet "wide" medium. The ink looks great, like a classic blue black should. I like this one better than Indigo, which looks a bit washed out to me. Thanks as always for a good review. You are a resource!

This is the Only Diamine I have, which I bought based on some scans and/or comments by KCat ages ago. It is a very nice mellow semi-dark blue with hints of grey and slight green. As with almost any ink, it will look a little different depending on the pen used.

      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
