on saleDiamine Denim - 30ml Bottled Ink

This color matches its name, I like it a lot, dark blue yet different. Dries fairly quick.

I originally started using Diamine Inks after reading the chemical analysis of several prominent inks and finding that Diamine had absolutely no flaws as to Ph or clogging etc. I write most often with a Parker 75 extra fine cursive italic nib or a Pelikan tortoise shell and white 400 with an extra fine italic nib. I own other CS, Aurora, and Waterman pens but these two are my normal pens. I use my pens all day at work, and needed an acceptable color legally and professionally that offered some fun to my writing. Denim gives me some shading and shadoing, shows up as a blue-ish black on scans, and writes well while looking professional. Some inks in the blue-black range look way too black after drying. It performs well in these pens while drying acceptably quickly. I have no trouble writing on copy paper, or any modern crappy office quality paper except Post-Its. Fountain hate that paper for some reason. I like this ink very much.

Love the ink! Denim is the blue-black I have been searching for. For work(accounting) it is a tad too dark, but I will definitely bee using it for journalism and personal use.

I've recently returned to the world of writing with a fountain pen (Yard o Led Viceroy Grand Barley - Silver in M nib). I wanted a blue that reflected my personal taste in ink as well as the character of my personal daily routine. I gave the Diamond Denim a try and was not at all disappointed. Smooth wet flow complimented the pen; when dried, provided the exact hue I wanted.

Service was very prompt, packaging was good. I'm please with the color too. Softer than some of the bolder shades of blue.
