Diamine Asa Blue Written Review


Mafia Geek

Recommended Posts

Here's my written review of Diamine's Asa Blue. I was quite pleased with the ink, definitely a candidate for an everyday ink, great bright blue colour with really good properties. A note about the dry smear, I actually didn't notice that I had some water on my finger when I smeared that, so it's not representative, it won't smear after drying with a dry finger.

Here's the water test results. I wrote on a small Rhodia pad and ran it under water for a few seconds after letting the ink dry for a couple minutes.

All in all a great ink that I'd recommend to anyone looking for a good, bright blue ink.

A good review of an ink I've had for a while but not used much. I agree with your comments and will get it back into the rotation.

Thank you for a comprehensive review, I particularly like your highlighter test. This is a gorgeous colour that is always in my Waterman Carene - a very beautiful coupling. :thumbup:

Thanks for the review. I have Diamine Florida Blue, Royal Blue and Majestic Blue. Nice to see the comparisons although I think I am well covered at this point!

      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
