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

Hmm....I do like the look of the Diamine Ancient Copper...
Here's a review by my favorite ink reviewer on youtube - you really need to check her out - funny and informative
The color really pops on the Rhodia paper
Check out all her videos here - great fun

I tried a lot of different ones but seem to like Aurora Black and Waterman Florida Blue the best.

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.

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!

Wow! Your 25/75 mix sounds wonderful. Can only image that it looks great on paper.

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.

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.Is anyone else having similar problems with Photobucket at the moment?

Nope! Don't get that option.

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.

However, I looked-up your Sailor Pro Gear. Amazing looking pen, reputed to be one of the world's finest. I'm green with envy.

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.

I purchased a few different Diamine colours to try:
Aqua Blue
Asa Blue
Jet Black
Matador
Kelly Green
Imperial Purple
I really like them all, favourites are probably Imperial Purple (in a Parker 25) and Matador.
I also have Waterman Absolute Brown which I use in my Schneider iD because the pen won't fit into the Diamine 30ml bottles, tend to use that more than anything as I really like the colour and pen.
I'm left handed too and haven't had any problems with the inks.
