Diamine Laurel is a dark, saturated blue-green ink featuring extreme red sheen that dominates the writing surface. While the underlying color is attractive, the intense sheen obscures much of the green base, making it best suited for use on coated fountain pen papers like Apica CD. This ink requires patience due to its long drying time and tendency to smudge, but produces a striking glowing effect once fully dry.
