We are keeping on with another Diamine ink today, Diamine Denim. I purchased my bottle of ink from Cult Pens.

The color:

Denim is a pretty dark blue.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper the ink has a little bit of black sheen.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: Low

Other properties: medium shading, low black sheen, and no shimmer.

On Staples 24 lb copy paper there was some feathering in most nib sizes and a few dots of bleeding.

Comparison Swabs:

Denim is pretty close to Robert Oster Blue Night. Click here to see the Diamine inks together, and click here to see the blue inks together.

Longer writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco-T Mint with a broad nib on a Yoseka A5 notebook. The ink had an average flow.

Overall, it’s a good standard dark blue. It can be just a touch dry in some pens, but does well in most.
