Current Sailor-Made Bottled Ink Match For Sailor Jentle Red Cartridge Ink?

[conib]

This is a shout-out to you Sailor red ink fans.

I'm wondering if either Nagasawa Kobe #11 Ikuta Orange or #20 Motomachi Rouge is a match, or very, very close?

Or perhaps the best match is Kingdom Note Nipponia Nippon?

Or …?

In my ink tests, FWIW, and to my eye, Sailor Jentle Red Cartridge ink's color is very close to Pilot iroshizuku fuyu-gaki. YMMV, and that's no problemo! Just please tell me which current Sailor-made bottled ink you think is closest to Sailor Jentle Red cartridge ink or, if you don't have the ability to compare to Jentle Red cartridge ink, to iroshizuku fuyu-gaki.

It has a slight golden sheen that outlines each stroke.

I have a sample of Nippon.. and there is a definite pink element in there. So, I will disqualify Kobe #11 (too orange)... and I don't have Kobe #20... but the online pics make it look very similar to Nippon.

Thanks C, from online pics I was also thinking that Nippon looks closest to Sailor Jentle Red cartridge ink, and that Kobe #11 might be too orange.

 

How do you like Nippon's behavior w.r.t. dry time and bleed-through?

I didn't even know there was Sailor red cartridges...

which begs the question WHY! so far only Irori atthis point maybe considered a "true red" that Sailor has in bottle form if you exclude everything else

The ink swab of the red cartridge on Jetpens shows a rather pinkish colour, which I don't like in red inks...

Lgsoltek, how would you characterize the dry time and bleed-through characteristics of Kingdom Note Nipponia Nippon? Maybe compared to Diamine Poppy Red and/or to Montblanc Corn Poppy Red?

 

I want to be able to use Nippon on yellow stickies, and the cost of it is so high I really hesitate to buy a bottle and have it turn out to be a slow drier or have terrible bleed-through.

I don't remember how fast drying it is, but it's quite well behaved with no bleed through as can be expected from Sailor inks. I own all three inks you mentioned but it's been a long time since I used them. They all behave quite well.
