Great blue for every day is you like a deep blue that is clearly blue. Using it in Viscinti starry night with a medium nib.

I was looking for a bright blue that tended more to purple than green. This is the one! I love this color - it goes on definitely purple, but dries to a bright blue. This is my current favorite (well, along with Ancient Copper).

I came across your videos via youtube and was introduced you the world of fountain pens again. this ink is beautiful. it is quite vibrant. dries pretty quickly as well. I am a beginner and I have used this on normal paper only.

As mentioned by the other reviewers this is definitely a color-shifting in. It goes down surprisingly purple for a blue ink. However, over time, it turns its named Sapphire blue color. It has become one of my favorite colors. Nicely behaved. A tiny bit of bleed-thru and feathering on cheap paper. Only a little shading. But, unlike some of the Diamine inks, it dries fast, which is important for Lefties.

I own a lot of ink. It occupies a shelf in a built-in bookcase in my office. I have tried many brands, but my favorite is Diamine. The reason for this is simple: the blues. I can think of no other ink maker that features as many quality blue shades as Diamine does. I don't own all of them, but I own so many I feel I have the blue spectrum pretty much covered.My favorite is Majestic Blue, which is a vibrant deep blue. Perhaps the most unusual blue is China Blue, which corresponds well with what any sports fan might call Carolina blue. Sapphire Blue is a long-time favorite of many and writes with a purplish hue before drying to a true blue.
