Diamine Aqua Lagoon

Lovely ink sample (courtesy x3cin, thanks!). On my definite want list.

The actual is slightly bluer than the image that has been reduced to 90k

Nice ink, I almost ordered some today. I just saw an example of this ink on Reddit this afternoon and thought it looked great. Using Anderson's ink comparison tool I found that it was pretty close to Iroshizuku Ku-Jaku-- maybe a little lighter. I think that will save me from buying this, my plan is to dilute Ku-Jaku some and see how that looks. Too many inks in the world

Ooh pretty! I'm concocting a Diamine order and this goes right into the "to consider" row...

It's quite different from Ku-Jaku, which has been one of my favorites too, and have been using for years. Ku-Jaku dries to a much greener color than this. I'll see if I can post a comparative scan of both with the same pen.

That said, you're onto something about a diluted Ku-Jaku. I had done that trying to salvage the last drops of my previous Ku-Jaku bottle, and found that it dries to a much bluer color, so not far from the Aqua Lagoon.

OH! Thanks so much for doing the scan and comparison of the diluted Ku-Jaku. I really appreciate it and it gives me an idea of how much water to add. You're a champ!
