Diamine Bottle Ink, Indigo 224, 1.0 fl oz (30 ml)

It is a beautiful ink color. I haven't seen much bleed-through and it hasn't clogged my pen.

Beautiful! Beautiful ink. I am soooo pleased. It is of good texture, weight, and the color is absolutely stunning. This is giving me the wrong one to review - The Oxblood is beautiful - but, I am actually reviewing the Damson color - a deep purple. It's beautiful, as well.

Love Diamine ink. There are so many colors! This is a very pretty and fun ink that you can use in public, I think, for a bit of whimsy without being extremely "out there." I've used it for a couple of letters, and the recipients enjoyed it. And it looks better when you spill it on your hands than black does. I appreciate that Diamine inks are much less expensive than most others, and I think you really get value for your money.

Color is really pretty and doesn’t smudge. Nothing bad to say about it, I’m not super experienced with ink so I don’t have much to compare it to.

I'm trying to find a sepia that would mimic the look of antique and ancient writing. I that I thought I might have to darken this a bit, but it is fine the way it is. With an EF nib on Kokuyo paper, it soaks in well without feathering and has enough contrast to be quite legible. Also tried by dipping with a fine nib. After drying it looks great. Flows very well out of an inexpensive Hong Dian EF nib and is juicy enough to bring out the darker shades when it dries. With a broad nib it should even be darker and shaded. On an antique white or cream-colored paper, it may look even better. Nice ink!

Autumn Oak! Finally found a brown I like!

Not much to say. It’s Diamine. It’s great ink. It matches this pen pretty well. Buy it. The end.

Diamine Oxblood ink, is a beautiful ink. The color is rich and dark (if it spills on your hand it’ll look like you cut yourself, but on paper, it’s luxurious! A dark, deep burgundy—a true burgundy) and the ink dries rather quickly. I use a glass dip pen with this ink and it has made my writing experience even more of a joy! Now, I’ve used Rhodia and another brand of paper (I’ll edit this review and add the name later on when I remember), and there was no bleeding nor feathering, and little show through. Very high quality ink. I did not test to see if the ink is waterproof but I will check and edit the review when I can. Drying time? I’ll guesstimate under 10 seconds, far quicker than some other inks I’ve worked with. Diamine Oxblood is a well behaved, rich toned, great quality ink. On the other hand, if you are using a dip pen, I recommend you use a ink well (the bottle is small and narrow, so dipping the pen in it isn’t too “comfortable”..), but I this is a sample size, so I will be buying the larger bottle soon! I recommend this item!

I dislike intensely the plastic bottle. Why not glass for those of us who use fountain pens and dip pens? Why not glass in these times of banishing plastics? The tall, unsteady plastic bottle has made me revert to my other brands ..shame because the colours of this brand are good. For me the bottle is a very important factor when purchasing inks. I re-use the too.

Bought from seller: Penz Solutions It came generously wrapped in bubble wrap, great packaging, no leaks, came in perfect condition. The bottle design and label design is different than the one advertised in the product listing but it is indeed Kensington blue. For the ink review theres a couple youtube videos that you can watch. In my opinion a good Indigo blue ink.

Beste Tinte überhaupt! Fließt sehr gut und trocknet schnell Der Farbton "China Blue" ist einmalig, hebt sich komplett von sämtlichen standard Blautönen ab.

Great product for calligraphy or painting. However I would say it's more orange than peach (pic attached for reference)

Wenn die Tinte fließt, schreibt es sich sehr angenehm. Durchbluten oder Ausfransen habe ich nicht festgestellt. Majestic blue hat für meinen Geschmack etwas zu wenig Varianz in der Sättigung, das ist aber Geschmackssache. Aufgrund der Anschreibschwierigkeiten, kann ich mit der Tinte nichts anfangen.
