Diamine China Blue fades REALLY FAST.

This is how it's supposed to look when it's still wet:

Compared with R&K:

http://blog-imgs-84-origin.fc2.com/c/h/i/chingdamosaic/RK08_20151102020452d92.jpg

Diamine acquires a slightly greenish hue when it dries.

 

 

And neither of the two inks is water resistant:

Drat, the images aren't showing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

Not showing on my monitor either, but click on the link at the bottom of the OP's message and you can see them all.

Now the images are back. Someone at Internet Central is playing with us.

 

And two minutes later, they are gone again.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
