Diamine Ink, 80ml Bottle, Writer's Blood, 7110

My first ink from Diamene and “wow.” I’ve always liked the ox blood color on leather in car interiors and furniture in general but for paper I wanted similar but different. Like an ox blood with a little dirty motor oil and maybe some rust in it, you know? This shade is perfect! It nailed the above vibe flawlessly. It’s a serious red that looks awfully like dried blood. As if Van Gogh dipped a quill into the stump that was his ear to pen a love letter he knew would go unrequited. It looks great on paper and is also a solid choice for birthday and holiday cards. It gets your attention without demand. And while I’ve hardly used any of it from this bottle I should soon order another just to know that more is at hand.

Striking deep red color; does not bleed through my stationery; dries fast. This has good durability, functionality, and is superb value for the money. Will last a long time for me since the bottle size is large and the ink quality is outstanding. Fast shipping, too. Will buy this beauty again!

I typically stick to blue/black inks, but I wanted a dark red or wine colored ink to go with my Bordeaux Montblanc. I think this is my favorite ink now. The color is beautiful and flows great. It still looks porfessional but is more interesting than your basic royal blue or black ink.

Diamine WRITERS BLOOD ink. I really like this color. It replaces an old bottle of my favorite color that I purchased from Levenger years ago called Claret. Swatching them side by side I can only with difficulty tell the difference. Writers Blood is a deep blood red with a slight purplish cast that I really like. Maybe Claret is slightly more purplish - I can't tell. Writers Blood is very dark, which looks good on the page, but not so dark that it hides the color. It dries consistent and uniform with an EF nib. I am changing all of my inks to Diamine because I like the quality and want my inks' characteristics to be predictable, and the same chemistry in case I decide to get creative and blend them. Diamine does not bleed thru as much as some inks I've tried.

This is a great color and lovely smooth writing, and this bottle will last me years

This ink is really nice to write with. The color is a beautiful that looks great on the page without being too bold or too light. It flows smoothly in my pen and dries pretty quickly, so I don’t have to worry about smudging. The bottle is also well-designed and easy to use. Overall, it just makes writing feel a little more enjoyable.

Even though I saw some reviews that said it, I couldn’t believe the difference. The top one, the more red color was my first delivery! I was shocked at the color, and while I do love it, I wanted the true writers blood. The bottom color is the correct color and I do in fact I love it too. The quality control and inconsistencies is crazy though! Good luck if you’re going for the true color! Other than receiving the wrong color, the ink is beautiful and writes beautifully.

Ink flows great! Color is a rust brown, while some people like this i find it not the color for me. I am going to choose another Diamine color as the ink is good quality.

the color's strong with this one. it stands out very nicely and pleasantly lives up to its name.

Piuttosto scuro, decisamente simile al sangue secco, è leggermente più scuro e freddo rispetto all'inchiostro Ox blood, sempre di Diamine. Molto bello. Gli scrittori potranno usarlo ed affermare di averci messo il sangue senza timore di smentita...

Encre d'une couleur superbe. Un classique de Diamine. Prix contenu en outre. Bouteille travaillée magnifique qui offre en plus une jolie vue sur un bureau.

the ink AMAZING! bedt match for my Pilot E95s. it's somewhat a wet ink, and a little bit purplish burgundy color which is why I love it. I wish I could post a photo to show how lovely it is.

Really excellent ink, well behaved, looks great and much easier to clean out than many inks. It takes 10-20 seconds to dry depending on the paper and works well with most nibs. This provides the smoothest writing experience of any ink I have tried. It’s just a delightful feel. There is a subtle sheen and more interesting and complex colour outcomes than the other inks in this colour group. It has a distinct red tint to its base and very sharp and clear presentation.
