It is, and I like the Diamine Sepia as well.Oh, Diamine Ancient Copper is lovely.
My #1 ink probably remains Pelikan Blauschwarz.

I tried a lot of different ones but seem to like Aurora Black and Waterman Florida Blue the best.How adventurous are you when it comes to ink for your pens?
Do you even try to match the colour of the ink to the pen?
Me, I'm so far extremely boring.
I use Diamine Onyx black in every fountain pen I have but I am starting to feel the urge to venture outside of the safety and familiarity of black ink.
I've seen some amazing looking purple, red, green, etc...
Always amazed to come across a fellow lefty who can actually read and write. Most of us are best served by using a good soft lead pencil, say an HB, with a big eraser.Forgot to say I am left handed so what ink will be drying bit quicker so I can write at normal speed rather slowly?

Wow! Your 25/75 mix sounds wonderful. Can only image that it looks great on paper.I'm quite conservative in my choice of colours and tend to stay within the blue-black spectrum. My favourites are Rohr & Klingner Verdigris, Diamine Denim, and my own 25/75 mix of Diamine Eclipse and Damson, which result in a deep purple-black, a colour somehat akin to eggplant.
What I enjoy about these inks is that on paper they may appear black or nearly black at first, but reveal their more interesting undertones after a closer look. Very subtle!
Here is a scan of the mix @William Dobson . Diamine Eclipse was too dark for my taste, almost black actually, and Damson too light/dusky. Mixing the two hit the sweet spot for me.Wow! Your 25/75 mix sounds wonderful. Can only image that it looks great on paper.

All my photos on TSR that are hosted by Photobucket seem to have the same problem @Bechet I have a feeling it's their problem, as it happened once before without any interaction on my part. What's strange is that you can right click on where the image was, click on 'View Image' and it will take you straight to the photo on Photobucket.Have you logged out of Photobucket or done something - deleted? - to your photo. There last night and gone this morning, @FrankieG ?
Somehow couldn't get the picture of you ink combo. I'm sure an eggplant color would be a visual delight.Here is a scan of the mix @William Dobson . Diamine Eclipse was too dark for my taste, almost black actually, and Damson too light/dusky. Mixing the two hit the sweet spot for me.

Maybe it only works for me (in Firefox) since it's my account...? I noticed some reports on the internet of other people having problems with Photobucket though. Hopefully it will be resolved soon.Nope! Don't get that option.
