I looked to see if there was a review of the Caran d'Ache "Infra Red" ink, and saw that there was none. My review is in the photo. [Note: photo taken with iPhone, but in direct sunlight, so the color may be washed out.]

Love the way those swabs of it look! I think I have a sample of it here - might have to move it to the top of the line!

To say that the color is vibrant is an understatement. I understand now why they opted for a playful name like "infra" red!

I really like that color. If only the Chromatics line wasn't priced at a premium! Alas, I may have to pull the trigger anyway...

I'm not usually a big fan of red inks, but I picked up a sample of this, and holy cow it is really bright. Fun to play around with. Definitely an appropriate name for this ink. Thanks for the review!

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
