Diamine Bottle Ink Damson 263 30ml

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

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.

This review is of the color Damson ink. (Amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!) Also, the rounded glass bottle shown on the Damson product page is actually the larger bottle and is not what you will receive. If you order the 30ml bottle, it is a plain, tall rectangular plastic bottle. The ink is the same, just less of it, and the bottle isn't as pretty. I was expecting the bottle that is shown on the product page, but for the price, the smaller plain bottle is OK. I really like this ink. It flows well in my fountain pens and is not hard to rinse out of them. It's a pleasing, slightly smoky or muted purple, and a nice change from black and blue inks. Edit for an additional review of Diamine Amazing Amethyst ink: I've also bought a 30 ml bottle of the color Amazing Amethyst ink by Diamine. Amazon sent me an email wanting a review, but it linked to this review of Diamine Damson ink. Again, amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!! Grrrr.... Anyway, I like Diamine inks in general and both Damson and Amazing Amethyst in particular. The Amazing Amethyst is a brighter, richer purple, but still dark enough for most uses. In an average or wet-flowing pen, the color is very rich, deep, and jewel-like. I especially like it with a stub nib pen. I have one pen, though, that is a very dry writer, making this ink look washed out (but that pen makes every ink look washed out!) In short, both Damson (muted deep purple) and Amazing Amethyst (rich deep purple in most pens) are great inks.

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 like this color! It's darker than a true yellow and leans more orange. However, the ink can be quite light and hard to read depending on the pen. It dries fast on paper, no drying in the pen, and is so great for the price.

This ink is quite beautiful and is perfect for my project.

Arrived very quickly and in perfect condition. True to description and the correct color. Would purchase from this seller again!

Ancient Copper is a beautiful brown

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.
