    Default Lunchtime ink review: Diamine Asa Blue

    Lunchtime ink reviews! I'm taking one ink to work each day and doing one of these during my lunch.

    Diamine Asa Blue, dip test with TWSBI Eco 1.1mm stub, on Rhodia dotpad.

    This one is just impossible to show properly onscreen - it is an electric blue, very saturated and with cyan in it that just vanishes. It photographs royal blue instead. A wet ink and shades well.

    Diamine Arctic Blue Shimmertastic is very similar, just very slightly greener and with the silver sparkle.

    (If anyone has photo editing tips for these shades, do share - I find them frustrating!)

    I think Vanness' swab photo is closer than most: https://vanness1938.com/products/diamine-asa-blue

    Looks nice! I'm pretty sure I had a sample of this ink at one time.
    My other pen is a Montblanc.

    And my other blog is a tumblr!
