Diamine Prussian Blue V. Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black

[pkotrcka]

Hi guys, just a quick comparison. DIamine Prussian Blue vs. Pelikan 4001 Blue-Black. In normal pens with "normal" nibs, bothe fine :-) For me, if that would be a blind test, those inks are about the same, DIamine is a bit more wet but the shade is very similar. I am curious what would broader nib do with these.

If I could only have one ink, 4001 Blue-Black would be it.

I voted for the Pelican 4001 Blue Black ink. I really enjoy the subtle color changes in different size nibs. It's my favorite ink at the moment, four pens are inked up with the 4001 Blue Black!

I have tried a sample of Prussian Blue before, in one of my wider edged nibs (most likely a 0.9 stub). Nice, but I still strongly prefer Pelikan 4001 Blue/Black.

thank you for your replies :-)

I'm reluctant to say that I like one more than the other, because it seems like apples and oranges to me -- different colors, different characteristics. However, I use the Pelikan far more, as an agreeable and well-behaved utility ink. I've had a desk pen filled with it continuously for a few years, so it's an ink of many notes and notations. On the other hand, I had my Prussian blue Carène filled with the Diamine ink for some time, and enjoyed that... In any case, they don't seem interchangeable. Both win?
