One of my all time favorite colors is Red/Black (dark maroon) so when I saw this Rattler Red online I had to pick up a bottle. It's pretty close in color to Diamine Red Dragon but the rattler has more "black" in it than the red dragon.

The printer paper I used for the form didn't allow for as fast of a dry time as some of the paper I use more regularly so I'll update a paper comparison later on.

My only complaint about this ink is how it dries in the pen fairly quickly, so it's definitely an ink you would want to use in a daily pen.

Looks nice. Thanks for the review!

 

Makes me wonder what I would do if I actually encountered a red rattlesnake.

Stand very still.

 

 

BTW, Rattler Red removes stains.

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

How does it remove stains? Please tell all.

 

 

To paraphrase what Amber once explained:

The previous ink dye loves plastic, so it stays with your pen. The Red Rattler comes, and the previous ink loves Red Rattler more, so it leaves with the snake.

 

Trust me, Amber tells it much better than I do.

All my inks, with ink splash and links to my reviews

I actually bought a pot because of that, although fortunately, I have yet to use it for it's secondary duties.

Thank you for this Lgsoltek.

 

Somehow, the poison is the cure.

 

I will add it to the medicine chest promptly.

LOL. I'm sure someone around here can actually do an explanation which makes sense to chemists. I explained it in the way my 12 year old explained it to me after chemistry class.

What is ink is amazing for ... getting out stains. With just one use, the pen went from this:

      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
