My first review.



As you see, the 5-min soak didn't touch it. I've had the Samsui Red in the Reform 1745 for over 12 hours. The pen starts and doesn't skip. I do notice that if I am writing fast - like my signature - there is some skipping, but when I slow to normal writing speed it doesn't happen. I'll update this if I see any other quirks.

Now that looks like the red I have been waiting for. Where did this ink come from?

Adding this nd Dragon's Napalm to my "got to" list.

I just found it here. Along with many other lovely colors!

I bought a few "Singapore Colours" from Tay--he's really nice and usually responds to email within 24 hours. No affiliation--just a happy customer. I asked about some of the other colors, and he emailed me a description and water-soak test of all of the colors! If I can figure out how to post the pdf, I'll post it in a new thread.

I don't suppose it's possible to get a comparison with Noodler's Nikita (I know that one's not bulletproof) and/or the UK Eternal Empire Red? On my screen, your scan looks like a bright Ferrari red... is that about right?

Ooh! Nice...

empire red is just not even going to come close, because even at its wettest it is more pale than Visconti Bordeaux. This looks like it is THE red!!! I'd like to see it up against Skrip Red, Widowmaker, and Nikita.

I'm hoping that the next batch of widely-available Noodler's inks will include more colors like this. We still haven't seen some of those lovely reds that were in the batch of purple prototypes for the FPN ink...

I wonder if this red glows off the page like Tolstoy does. Do you have a blacklight to shine on the ink?
