Bright Blue of the Sky	December 9, 2012
Reviewer: encre_sportive from Tokyo Japan

This blue is perhaps one of the most brightest blue ever. It seems similar to Pilot's Tsuyukusa, but is still brighter.
But the problem is, it has feathering and strike through ( a bit even on Rhodia paper!)...

A Benchmark Mid-Tone Blue	May 1, 2012
Reviewer: Douglas Fishback from Jenks, OK United States

This is a straight-up, mid-tone blue with no leanings toward green nor purple. It is bright enough to pop, but still suitable for a work environment. Based on samples, I chose this over Presidential Blue, which was a touch less vibrant. (Pres. Blue is between Royal Blue and Waterman Blue-Black in terms of brightness and punch.) Royal Blue is a decent alternative to red for markup. Not much shading to report. No problems with bleeding or feathering on Kokuyo stock. I have it loaded in a Kaweco Ice Sport (EF, blue) for fine writing, and in a Lamy Vista with B nib for attention-getting notes. If you're looking for a no-nonsense mid-tone blue, this is a good candidate.

Reviewer: Donna Baringer from Sunrise, FL United States

This is a dark blue and good shade if you like the deep blue.

Just dark enough - a great blue ink	October 20, 2011
Reviewer: Schade from Eastern California

This is a fairly light blue, but not too light for business use. Modest shading. Barely perceptible feathering and minor bleed-thru on cheap paper. It dries very fast, making it a go-to-blue for Lefties. Although the color won't knock your socks off, sometimes socks are appropriate. Another solid ink from Diamine.

Great Service	October 10, 2011
Reviewer: Bonnie Standridge from Sugar Hill, GA United States

I love the choices in the ink colors but most of all, you are people who really understand those of us who love fountain pens. Your company is a delight in every way. I particularly like the little handwritten note with a notation on the ink color used! That makes me want more ink!

Great ink	August 12, 2011
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from USA

Not too wet, not too dry, though not great on EF nibs, a bit too dry to pull it off. But on a medium nib, it's a dream, and gorgeous shade of blue, with some mild shading. Its dark blue enough to be 'professional' but light enough to be a fun ink. I certainly recommend it.

Blue, Blue, Blue !!!	March 25, 2011
Reviewer: Ron Guenette from Colorado Springs, CO United States

I have tried many, many blues. Like most people "blue" is the holy grail of fountain pen inks. Just which shade of blue is the question. And it can only be answered by each individual, as everyone likes a different shade of blue. I will only be able to decide which blue I like the best when I have them ALL.
