A bright red with a lot of pink tone.

 

Splash

Sample

The pink is quite noticeable. Somehow it's not as wet as I'd like.

Sheen

Comparison

I like Nipponia Nippon more because it's a more proper red. Lycoris Red is too pink for my taste.

Thanks for posting this. I just ordered a bottle from Vanness. It won't be displacing Montblanc Corn Poppy as my current favorite red ink.

The pink is not as much to my liking, but the intensity of the color is really impressive!

Well the sheen is surely commendable. (Said in a similar way that Lisa Anderson complimented the Esterbrook box!)

:lticaptd:

Truthfully, I do kinda like this color. But it also (at least on my screen) looks a lot like Diamine Passion Red (which I have -- although I don't think it sheens), so I can probably skip this one.

Thanks for the review -- inks I don't want are a lot better for my bottom line than the "OOOH! WAAANT -- MUST HAAAAVE!" ones....

Okay, I love it. It is retina searing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

I have a bottle coming my way. Thank goodness for Vanness.

 

 

Yes, indeed! And try this ink on a variety of different papers! Here's the crazy gold sheen on Canson tracing paper:

      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

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      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
