This is one of several scans I'm posting today. All inks (except the one noted) are bottled ink. Except for that one exception, all color names were written with a Speedball B-6 steel dip nib (the exception was written with the corner of a Pilot Parallel pen).
These are photos taken without flash, then adjusted to be consistent with each other and to match what I see (to the extent possible on my particular monitor). I hope they are useful to someone.
REDS
- Pilot Red cartridge, written with the corner of a Pilot Parallel pen (true red and fairly bright, no orange or brown or anything else that I can detect)
- Visconti Bordeaux (dark red, darker and softer color than Pilot Red, reminds me of a cranberry's skin, some shading)
- Montblanc Bordeaux (wine, more purple or plum tinges than Visconti Bordeaux, reminds me of a red grape, nice shading)
- Private Reserve Arabian Rose (raspberry-rose, slightly cooler and more prurple-pink than Montblanc Bordeaux, little shading)
- Rohrer & Klingner Alt-Bordeaux (raisin or dusky wine, earthier-toned compared with MB Bordeaux and PR Arabian Rose, some shading) (also shown in my Purple Ink comparison)
