Great review, as usual. Have you tried Diamine Salamander? I think these two have a lot in common.

Salamander is much more saturated...

Salamander is much more saturated...

 

Of course it is. I mean the brownish shade of green, a kind of khaki. The Salamander is in my Sheaffer Vigilant now, and it's amusing (if not confusing) to test in on white and ivory paper. Hard to believe it's the same ink.

Fresh from the bottle:

De Atramentis Jules Verne Deep Sea Blue in my Mabie Todd Swan Self-filler;

Diamine Blue Steel in my Pilot 78G

I'm gradually working my way through a dozen 2ml ink samples, using my TWSBI 580 - currently filled with Waterman Brown.

Can't wait to crack open my full bottle of KWZ Dark Brown very soon.

Replacement bottle of Akkerman #5 - Shocking Blue, saga written about elsewhere.

This is a lovely ink, similar to, but a bit more deeply blue than Diamine Majestic Blue, due, I think, to a little red dye in the mix. Also sheens like Charlie...

Figured I'd give Bookbinders Red Belly Black another go, trying it in the M150 that came today. Initial test looks promising, will see how it goes on the copy at work; probably take Inspired Blue, too.

Diamine Classic Red in my Picasso 915 Ruby. A perfect match!
