Florida Blue - 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

Florida Blue ink writes clean and clear, and flows well in most pens. Never too wet. Never to dry. It's good ink. Not particularly thrilling but well behaved.

Nice review as always but also not my blue. Certainly an "okay" blue, but nothing special, something's missing ....

Thanks visamitra for the usual great review. On my monitor this is a beautiful blue. I recently started using Private Reserve Tropical Blue which I really like. I wanted a medium blue ink that didn't have purple or green hues and PRTB has so far filled the bill. DFB looks very close to my eyes. I will definitely have to try it out.

Great review! I appreciate your honest assessment. While it is a nice blue, there are others that are more noteworthy.

I liked the review! I think the color is very nice. I like a bit more shading though.
