Diamine Oxblood. How does it compare with Diamine Ancient Copper, Writer's Blood, and Blood Orange?

what a delightful young human. :D this was fun to watch. I was looking for a video like that. I just recently gotten the Oxblood, mostly because my local store doesn't carry Writer's blood which is one of my favourite inks. Diamine does seem to have a lot of good reds.

Thank you both for the ink shootout! I’m a fan of Ancient Copper, but am now intrigued by Writer’s Blood. Would you consider pondering purples in another video?

[@PEIPenGuy]

Purples would be fun to do!

"Excuse my handwriting, it's...something." Mine too, kid, mine too! 😂 I love when your kid is on video and impressed with the wide vocabulary used. I prefer Blood Orange today, but next week could be different.😊 Great comparison video.

He's very fun to work with, and I know next week my colour choice will be different too!

I' a leftie underwriter. I don't smudge. And I love inks that (almost) never dry, like Organics Studio Nitrogen. Writer's blood is one of the wettest inks I own. And yes, it is significantly wetter than oxblood.

I'm a leftie and I don't smudge with Oxblood--but I write by turning the page 90° clockwise and write vertically down the page, and it's in a fine-nib pen. As to the question of "which one," Oxblood is the only one of the four I have.

[@davidg.8745]

Thank you for the comparison. I have been looking at the oxblood to replace my writer’s blood. Maybe. But that blood orange is nice. It might by my net ink sample.

[@irinap.5507]

Ancient Copper is my favourite of the four. Have you tried Red Dragon? Your kid is amazing, btw!

[@PEIPenGuy]

I haven't tried Red Dragon yet. It's always fun to do videos with Sam!

[@ramonafirehorse]

Well, you know I love Blood Orange 😉 have a sample f Writer’s Blood that I haven’t tried yet and I love how it looks n the page. I’ll have to get to it soon. I think I’m with you both - Blood Orange and Writer’s Blood.

I would love to get a bottle of Golden Honey (?) someday. It’s another triangle bottle. I keep worrying that they will stop selling the anniversary inks but I can’t let myself buy it when it’s in stock because I have SO much ink already.

I tried Writer's Blood, those dark reds just don't do it for me. Maybe I will try Ancient Copper some day. The only red I use, for side notes and highlighting, is Robert Oster Fire Engine Red, which is the most red red or truest red I could find. Anyway, thank you and your refreshing MC!

[@PEIPenGuy]

Thanks for watching!

[@RobertLaTuso]

Which blood red inks with water resistant properties would you recommend?

[@McAmeron089III]

Thank you for showing the Blood Orange,I hadn't seen it before;I think I love it! Probably my next ink purchase. Writer's Blood will always be one that I have in a pen;it's in my old Sheaffer's vintage pen now(I don't know the model). Like Oxford Blue,it behaves/flows so nicely. I have Ancient Copper;but,find I don't reach for it often. It seems to have a dusty/dull look to it. Seems to be a bit drier than some Diamine inks. I feel like I don't need to get Oxblood, it being somewhat similar to Writer's Blood(a color I really prefer anyway).
