Ink Review: Diamine Bilberry

[oc_in_fw]

Here is my review of another great Diamine ink- Bilberry. My initial impression was wrong- it kind of looks like a blue wet, but once dry it is definitely a purple ink. Thanks to Mendel for the sample.

And here is the much celebrated (okay, maybe not) finger stain test. The second pic is a 15 second wash time with the generic antibacterial hand soap we use at work.

I like this ink. Using it right now in my Pelikan m200.

So is it blue with a purplish tinge similar to Aurora or is it really a purple with hints of blue?

My monitor makes it out like a blue, especially the Q-tip stripes. Looks good, showthrough but no feathering.

I am seeing purple with hints of blue, but I wouldn't totally trust my eyes. Also, I am under fluorescent lighting.
