Diamine Salamander 301 Bottle Ink, 1.0 fl oz (30 ml)

Love Diamine ink. There are so many colors! This is a very pretty and fun ink that you can use in public, I think, for a bit of whimsy without being extremely "out there." I've used it for a couple of letters, and the recipients enjoyed it. And it looks better when you spill it on your hands than black does. I appreciate that Diamine inks are much less expensive than most others, and I think you really get value for your money.

This is enjoyable ink. It is red without being offensive. I have used this ink in cartridges. This is my first time buying this color in a bottle. It is fountain pen ink, so a good quality paper is helpful. I use a fine point nib and this ink is easy to write with, flows smoothly, low feathering, and the ink is not too thick.

This ink is beautiful! I purchased the smaller bottle as I’m new to fountain pens. It’s a deep rich red color with some brownish undertones. When I run out of this ink I’m definitely buying the larger jar.

I do love Diamine inks. Great colors. Good sizes. Easy to open. (Yes, that's wierd, but I've had other inks that were impossible to open.) Very happy with this ink.

Fabulous ink. Love the ancient copper color.

Prussian blue is so tastefully muted, love how it writes. Love the packaging too, no one puts this much detail into branding anymore!

Beautiful color. Well packaged, arrived quickly. Thank you.

This review is of the color Damson ink. (Amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!) Also, the rounded glass bottle shown on the Damson product page is actually the larger bottle and is not what you will receive. If you order the 30ml bottle, it is a plain, tall rectangular plastic bottle. The ink is the same, just less of it, and the bottle isn't as pretty. I was expecting the bottle that is shown on the product page, but for the price, the smaller plain bottle is OK. I really like this ink. It flows well in my fountain pens and is not hard to rinse out of them. It's a pleasing, slightly smoky or muted purple, and a nice change from black and blue inks. Edit for an additional review of Diamine Amazing Amethyst ink: I've also bought a 30 ml bottle of the color Amazing Amethyst ink by Diamine. Amazon sent me an email wanting a review, but it linked to this review of Diamine Damson ink. Again, amazon, please don't combine reviews of different products on the same page!! Grrrr.... Anyway, I like Diamine inks in general and both Damson and Amazing Amethyst in particular. The Amazing Amethyst is a brighter, richer purple, but still dark enough for most uses. In an average or wet-flowing pen, the color is very rich, deep, and jewel-like. I especially like it with a stub nib pen. I have one pen, though, that is a very dry writer, making this ink look washed out (but that pen makes every ink look washed out!) In short, both Damson (muted deep purple) and Amazing Amethyst (rich deep purple in most pens) are great inks.

Beautiful colour and flow.

I dislike intensely the plastic bottle. Why not glass for those of us who use fountain pens and dip pens? Why not glass in these times of banishing plastics? The tall, unsteady plastic bottle has made me revert to my other brands ..shame because the colours of this brand are good. For me the bottle is a very important factor when purchasing inks. I re-use the too.

Bought from seller: Penz Solutions It came generously wrapped in bubble wrap, great packaging, no leaks, came in perfect condition. The bottle design and label design is different than the one advertised in the product listing but it is indeed Kensington blue. For the ink review theres a couple youtube videos that you can watch. In my opinion a good Indigo blue ink.

Beste Tinte überhaupt! Fließt sehr gut und trocknet schnell Der Farbton "China Blue" ist einmalig, hebt sich komplett von sämtlichen standard Blautönen ab.

Great product for calligraphy or painting. However I would say it's more orange than peach (pic attached for reference)
