Diamine 80ml Fountain Pen Ink Bottle, Oxblood

This is likely to become my preferred colour. It is easy to read and pleasant in the eye

Runs a little on the wetter side, good lubrication even on the scratchy Lamy EF nibs. But the color is just lovely. The price should be lower. Actual price is probably a fifth of what is listed here.

Diamine is a british manufacturer solely for fountain pen inks, a range most available including about 30 colours across several colour groups and available in standard 80ml bottles and 30 ml 'samplers' and several also in cartridges in the 'International Standard' format suited to several US and European brands of fountain pen and especially most of Chinese and Japanese origin; the quality of ink and the amount filled per cartridge is far superior to the oriental equivalents. The inks are generally easy-flowing and some of the lighter colours have transparency and also reflect some shading within their strokes which is only sometimes visible with this grey which is a little too deep to show it clearly. The Diamine Grey is the sole 'light black' (not their choice of words) representative in their complete range and a fairly dark neutral tone in appearance. There are very few alternatives and some too weak to be useful. The Diamine brand is affordable and of excellent quality. Tthere are several on-line sources should you need them. The colour is sufficiently different and distinctive for it to be noticed.

A beautiful coloured ink, dries quickly, doesn't bleed through the paper. Very happy with this purchase.

いい意味で、国産のインクには無いピンボケみたいな色、好きです 名前の通り、鮮やかさがまるでない古ぼけたデニムみたいな風合いと、味のある濃淡がとてもいいです インクが少なくなった時に万年筆に吸引しずらいかも それはほかのどのインクも一緒かもしれませんが 最初書いた時よりも、後からジワジワときます

Mycket fin fläck som ser fantastisk ut på pappret.
