Turq blue- good sky blue colour

green- washed out colour

Violet - really bright

Crimson- a bit more colour ful than chelpark crimson violet

Red- good red colour during writing later some fading occurs. Still happy

Blue black- real blue black, no green tone no fading also

Deep black- Really deep black on writing but later fades to a washed out

Royal blue- Nothing exiting, but no complaints also

All these are written in cheap papers.

Interesting to see inks sold in this sort of bottles, especially for appealing to users of eyedropper pens, perhaps? For what it's worth I like the colours; India is such a treasure trove for many things.

Those bottles look like stamp pad ink bottles! They are very cheap. Rs 15 per bottle. 1$=56 Rs.

Interesting, thanks for sharing

[amberleadavis]

Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. Are any of those near water proof?

[mohan]

But I have nt checked waterproofness. Its not written anything like wateproof but not written like washable also.

[mehandiratta]

Are you still using these....?

[amberleadavis]

I would enjoy seeing written samples.

I found these on Snapdeal, sold directly by the manufacturer. You have to buy in 1L quantity, but at this price I won't complain. I ordered few and it was promply shipped by the seller. I have used it a few times and liked it so far.

I am happy to say that my 15-bottle Daytone Fountain Pen Ink box arrived yesterday. 15 bottles X 60 ml = 900 ml of ink! So far I've really liked the Turquoise Blue and ordered two 500-ml bottles. That'll be one litre of this beautiful colour

Have placed an order for 15 diff colors from Amazon. Thought it was cheap enough to take a gamble

[justaninker]

Hmm, some writing samples would be much appreciated. Is this brand only available in India?

The pens - side view. The Galactic looks spectacular!

 

 

Writing sample - with ordinary paper and sub-par handwriting.

Nice review.. Thanks..Im waiting for my 15 inks to reach me from Amazon. I have had bad luck with LAMY turquoise, may be the ink sample is bad, but it didn't work properly on any pen including Safari,asa GALACTIC,a Ranga.. And I like turquoise very much. Was planning to order a diamine turquoise, but will now wait for the daytone ink.. The color looks neat

olive brown writing samples please

1. Is blue-black fading over period of few months?

2. Is Royal Blue the same as the new Camlin Royal Blue/ Bril Royal Blue?

3. How is the feathering? (which seems to be common problem with the new camlin royal blue as per me)

4. How is it compared to Bril ?
