Hi folks,

 

I have decided to finally post a review and not just spy around :)

 

Diamine Steel Blue is easily one of my favourite Diamine colours, it's that happy-teal-colour family which we cannot get enough of :blush: I took couple of notebooks and written a page to demonstrate what the ink looks like on each paper.

 

Please do let me know if there are any other papers you'd like to see...so far we have Leuchtturm, Rhodia White & Ivory and Tomoe River.

 

Enjoy!

 

Mishka (^_~)

I love the colour and I did get good sheen on Tomoe from it when it was in a very wet pen. I just can't remember what the pen was now.

Thank you for this surprising review! I thought steel would look blue but now I am astonished that it is - some call it teal some turquoise - I would tend to call it eau de Nil.

One of the first bottles of ink I bought. I love the teal colour of this ink. I found it indistinguishable to Diamine Marine for some reason, and people go nuts over that colour (e.g. Brian Goulet).

Great flow, it bleeds through lesser papers, it's got great saturation and a interesting hue.

But it's a stainer,be warned.

      ...random aside - I still have some 30 rolls of unused, long-expired Kodachrome 64 film (35mm). They have been frozen since 2009. No idea why I have held on to them for this long, but I guess I'm hoping for a miracle. I too have never developed colour film but I still d&p my B&W to this day. As a passion, of course.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.
