Interesting Pink Red.

Fluorescent.

Paper has a big influence on this ink.

A lot of ink, or sensitive paper --> feathering

Still, I like it, see the chromo :-)

This ink is a favorite of mine. I use it in an extra-fine nib, and on very good paper. In fact, I use it to test papers, since it bleeds through and feathers on most.

 

The color is enchanting, and well worth the trouble.

 

Thank you for the review. The chromatography is revealing..

I agree with you about the feathering. For this reason I would hesitate to recommend it.

 

This ink was a Christmas gift from one of my daughters. It has taken me until this summer to find a way to use it. It does fine on my Tomoe River journal, although only with an extra fine Wing Sung nib. It does not bleed through on the Mead composition books from Target. That was a shock! They are only $0.79! For Europeans, they are probably not worth shipping.

 

I have persisted with this ink because of the perfect, luminous red it gives. I realize many people see it as pink.

I like the color to, and as Inkvisible says: with a fine writer which doesn't put too much ink on the paper, and the right paper, it is a beautiful, interesting color.

I should have posted before and said THANK YOU!  I wanted to love this ink, it is both retina searing and a great lipstick color, but I found it was too badly behaved for my tastes.

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

Wow, I’ve never seen an ink that feathers on Tomoe River 52g paper — until this review!  It deserves a feathering award...

“I admit it, I'm surprised that fountain pens are a hobby. ... it's a bit like stumbling into a fork convention - when you've used a fork all your life.”

      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
