Praise for Diamine Inks

I can't remember the name of the Diamine blue that shows a metallic sheen, but someone on the other forum posted a writing sample....WANT.

That Sargasso Sea is yummy. Thanks for including the writing sample. What negative reviews Cap'n?

I have just received my latest order of Diamine inks, and I agre with all of you guys that these inks are mostly awesome.
One of the first new inks that I tested, was Onyx Black, and yup, it's black alright.
It's more black than the insides of a nun's...well, let's not go there, let it be sufficient to say that it is very black.
Fortunately I used a dip pen to test the ink, as it left some kind of brown residue on the dip pen nib that was pretty hard to get off the nib.
Washing the nib wasn't enough, I had to burn the nib with a lit match to get rid of that brownish stuff.
So I don't know if I have had a bad bottle of Onyx Black, but - just to be safe - I would suggest that you use either a cheap fountain pen for this ink, or dedicate a particular pen for it; use a dip pen - or stay away from this ink.

The other colours I got was Strawberry Red, Orange, and Red Dragon.
I didn't experience any kind of problems with these inks, they're all lovely.
I only regret that I didn't get an 80 ml bottle of the orange ink, instead of the 30 ml bottle I bought, as I have already fallen in love with that rich vibrant colour.

I have onyx black in my 149 and have not had any staining. It is a very dark black

It's Majestic Blue and it's beautiful (and majestic).
