Blue/black Petrol - Diamine

[visvamitra]

Manufacturers since 1864, Diamine Inks relocated to this purpose built 'state of the art' factory in Liverpool in 1925, where they successfully carried on using the traditional methods and formulas for ink production. Over the years the company has changed hands and are now located close to the world famous Aintree Race Course

Blue/black petrol is an ink made by Diamine for czech penshop, I've received a sample to play with and here are the effects. The color isn't made for me. I used to like teals and blue/sea greens but at the moment I barely tolerate them.

Nah!!!... Too teal/green to be called Blue Black.... Awesome review as always !!!

[doggonecarl]

Reminds me of Noodler's General of the Armies, without the water resistance.

[penswordnoassemblyrequired]

Exactly. Too teal to be blue/black. It's rather nice but similar to many others.

[lgsoltek]

I don't hate it.

Awesome review! I would not call this a blue-black but the color is nice!

[delano]

Great review! I agree that it's more teal than blue/black, but I kinda like it. I'm not familiar (haven't used) General of the Armies, but the water resistance I find attractive.

You can't have too many teals

On my short list
