Hi ink lovers, Margaret here. Are you on the hunt for a new ink? Diamine Marine just may be your new favorite ink. It's a beautiful turquoise that has great shading and is well behaved. Let's take a deeper look at what makes this ink a favorite for many!
Supplies Used:
- Lamy Al-Star with medium steel nib (also EF and B nib)
- Rhodia No. 16 dotpad, 80g white paper
- Tomoé River white paper
- Moleskine notebook
Smear Test (Dry Time):
- Medium - This ink took about 20 seconds to dry, which to me is great. I didn't have to wait a long time until it was dry and I could see that being really convenient if using this ink to write notes or a letter.
Drip Test (Water Resistance):
- Low - If you're looking for water resistance, this isn't the turquoise ink for you. However, when I used it in my Monday Matchup, I found I could get a wide range of color by adding water to the ink. But know that if you spill water on your notebook inked up with Marine, you'll be out of luck.
Saturation:
- Low - This is not a highly saturated ink; you can see the difference in the swab test. You'll see below that Marine looks different in a range of different nibs and sizes. It can range from a deep turquoise, to
a lighter teal depending on what pen you ink up.
Ease of Cleaning:
Shading:
Flow:

- Easy -No issues here with cleaning. This ink is easy to use and easy to clean!
Shading:
- High - Diamine Marine is included in Brian's top shading inks list, and for good reason. The shading is beautiful!
Flow:
- Medium- This ink has great flow, and a quick dry time. That's a win-win in my book.
- 30ml plastic and 80ml glass bottles available. I personally love the 30 ml bottles and imagine they would be great to travel with.
- The bottles are easy to fill from.
