Comparison Swabs:

Swabs

Oxblood is a bit more brown than Diamine Oxblood. Red is similar to Diamine Tulip. Pink is close to Colorverse Girls Just Wanna. Orange is similar to Diamine Marigold, and Yellow is similar to Diamine Yellow.

I used a Bond Travel Gear Tomoe River paper notebook. All of the inks had an average flow.

Overall, they have a bit more feathering and bleeding than I prefer. You can find these inks on Thornton’s website or on Amazon.
