You're welcome KCat... :)

Having suffered through just 2-pens in the last 2-weeks with just 3-ink colors, I loaded pens last weekend for a new rotation. I do the reviews for my own personal reference -- so that I remember each ink/pen combination's particular characteristics. I only post the ones that I don't think anyone's reviewed before. If there are repeats, mods please feel free to delete them as you see fit. Thanks!

Ever use this one in a Safari? Me likes the generous flow. Nice colour too. :thumbup:

What pens and colours did you use on your trip?

An excellent review of one of my favorite darker blues. As to having multiple reviews on the same ink, the more the better! A review is, after all, one person's experience and opinion, so the more reviews we have, the more information we get on an ink. (This doesn't mean I disagree with anything in this review -- I don't. In fact, I would just say "ditto" imho to all girlieg33k said.)

Thanks for the review! Although I love all Diamine blues, the Prussian Blue is somehow not to my liking. Too washed out and boring for me. Blue Black is much nicer than this one in my view.

Thanks for the review. It's one of the inks that I'm considering buying, but not actually doing so in the end. This tilts the balance in favour of buying. Am I correct in assuming that this the exclusive Noodler's for Rolf of missing-pen.de?

Very nice review. This is my favorite ink, and your review looks pretty accurate in terms of color by my eyes/monitor.

I just got a bottle of this today and loaded a Pelikano Jr. with it, which is a fairly wet "wide" medium. The ink looks great, like a classic blue black should. I like this one better than Indigo, which looks a bit washed out to me. Thanks as always for a good review. You are a resource!

This is the Only Diamine I have, which I bought based on some scans and/or comments by KCat ages ago. It is a very nice mellow semi-dark blue with hints of grey and slight green. As with almost any ink, it will look a little different depending on the pen used.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
