on saleDiamine Burgundy Royale - Ink Sample

If you want a dark red ink to add to your collection, try this one out! I happen to love this color (which is a little warmer than Diamine Syrah but leans less orange/brown than Oxblood) and I think you will too. Maybe more importantly though, it looks great and works well on a wide variety of paper types and in a wide variety of pens. Will it look great on your 52g Tomoe River paper? Of course. Will it look great on a $3 floppy Muji notepad? For sure. It probably would even look good on some Meade college ruled paper if you so deigned. Stop reading this and just buy the sample already.

I wrote a line in Oxblood and a line in Burgundy Royale right next to each other. I stared at them for 5 minutes. After that I can say with confidence that they are different inks, but I couldn't explain well what the difference was. It is very subtle, and not at all what I was expecting.For a truer burgundy, with an actual purple hue, try Diamine Syrah. I got a sample of that in the same shipment as this, and ordered an 80ml bottle not a week later.

I bought this ink for addressing our christmas cards and its such a wonderfull color I am goikg yo use it for other writing as well.
