Great scan.. thanks! It just reinforces my wish to get a bottle of PR Black Cherry. Or Noodlers Tiananmen.. or both.

I love your taste in ink...

I thought I was satiated with ink, but now I have to look into that Jentle Red-Brown. It really stands out to me as the nicest...

And thanks for the cropped closeups... That's really so helpful!!!

Nice job!!! I have to agree with Melnicki that the cropped closeups are really helpful! Thanks for doing the comparisons.

Beautiful choices - earth colors are my favorites, and I have most of these gorgeous inks.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into this comparison.

I also like your taste in ink color. I am also into "earthy" colors, and these are some fine examples. Herbin's Orange Indien has been one of my favorite fun inks for many years. I have tried all the other inks except the Private Reserve ones and I like them a great deal.

I like the Terre de Feu very much and I am using it quite a bit. I am still wondering how to qualify it. Being a reddish brown, is it not a shade of "sepia?" That term "sepia" has such a broad range of definition, while I have such a restricted ability to discern color, that it drives me to distraction. Still, whatever its character, I continue to like the Terre de Feu.

Oh - very nice, evertime I think I have enough inks I then see some more I want...
