How Does Diamine Kensington Compare To Royal Blue?

[Flounder]

This is kind of a long shot, but if anyone's tried both Diamine inks, how does Kensington shape up compared to Royal Blue? Is there a purpler shade to it, I would hate that?

Well, here's the Kensington Blue

And here's the Royal.

Bothe done in my usual way. Dipped, using a Lamy Safari, on Rhodia 80gsm No 16 lined paper.

Nice comparison. Thank you.

I think that Diamine Presidential Blue should get a viewing here as well. This is one of my favourite mid-blue inks.

Actually, I get a greener shade to the Kensington than the scan - which is accurate - shows. Could be the paper I was writing on at the time.

That's tremendously helpful, thanks a lot. Looks like I'll be picking up some Kensington Blue!
