  1. Today I’m reviewing a sample of Diamine Blaze Orange I have seen members writing with Diamine Blaze Orange and singing it’s praises, so I decided it was time I tried it. I’m very pleased that I did. I think it’s a great orange ink! It’s not too light to read, and it’s not too dark to be a true orange. It’s neither pale, nor retina searing. I found it was a nicely flowing ink that was neither wet nor dry, and I noticed good lubrication on my nib while I was writing with it. I didn’t see any spread or feathering on most of the papers I tried it with. With broader nibs it looks considerably darker, while not going as dark as a ‘copper’ ink. It showed through on some of the papers I experimented with. See the pictures. Diamine Blaze orange is quite well saturated. In fact, more saturated than some well known orange inks I compared it with. It exhibited plenty of shading with the F and M nibs in my Lamy Al-Star pens. I didn’t see any sheen. I found it behaved very well, and I really like it. I didn’t experience any clogging or clean-up problems with it. In fact clean-up was very easy. It easily washes off hands with soap and water. Diamine Blaze Orange is going to become my regular go-to orange ink from now on. It exhibited no water resistance at all, so I wouldn’t use it on the outside of an envelope if it might get rained on. This isn't sold as a waterproof ink, and it shows no water resistance.Bearing in mind the review form paper I use is thick with a quite shiny surface at 100gsm, and I used a M nib, this ink dried after 15-17 seconds.No smear after dry.It has good flow and I found it smooth to write with. I saw no skips or hard starts while I did swabs and dry time tests.It is currently available in 80ml glass bottles or 30ml plastic bottles.Diamine sell it directly to end-users on their web-site.It's a reasonable price.​
