What red inks are you using for Valentines day? I am using Noodlers Antietam (Parker frontier) and some Doe Snot(Reflex) ( a tribute to Denis Richards ).

Best reds for me have been American Eel Rattler Red, Private Reserve Dakota Red, Sheaffer Red, and Waterman Red.

for Valentine's Day? I just cracked open my Noodler's Devil Red...

Devil Red?

Could someone show a sample? Sounds intriguing.

For Valentine's Day I will be using Levenger's Blue Bahama and PR's Naples Blue

<_<

Levengers Cardinal red and PR Fiest red are my favorites for V-day. I think the Cardinal red is a little more vibrant in the broad italic nib I use for signing cards.

Hi,

I was PMed, but as a pen repair person, I must say that red ink is BAD, VERY BAD for pens. It gunks up the feed and stains up stuff.

I had to leave a pen with red ink in my soaking pot for two months to remove the red ink.

Anyway, should you use red, I shall recommend Quink.

Hi,

Sorry to throw water on your party in the above post, but I must admit to being a bit of hypocrite... Ok, I have Diamine claret in my Pilot. It appears pink. The Pilot is VERY hard to clean, and I have given myself a grand headache...

PR's Fiesta Red
Noodler's Tiananmen

Although Swisher Maroon is a favorite, too - not a true red or anything but lurvely.

Hi there, Devil's Red is a waterproof red made by Noodler's and sold only at Swisher Pens. Here's a sample from that site www.swisherpens.com. If I'm not mistaken, it's one of Southpaw's favorite red inks.

I call it the ink that most resembles a rash

Lefty perspective

I don't doubt what you say at all Dillo, but I can't give up my Reds! I promise to flush out regularly!

I still have to try some of that Devil Red!

I will be using Waterman Red in my Esterbrook Tempo Red model CH (purse pen.)

My usual mixture of 60% Noodler's Red and 40% Noodler's Devil Red. I make marginal notes with this ink mixture.

Traitor... I like red inks...

anyway, pinks and burgundies count!
