Thank you for this review. On my monitor, this looks very close to Waterman Red. Can someone who has used both inks make a comment?

I have no experience with the Waterman, but the Levenger is my favorite ink to write with. I can say that on my monitor the images appear almost too red. Fireball is more orange. Great red to write with though.

 

As an aside I was told that Levenger is discontinuing production of Fireball and a few others, so if you love it like I do you had better stock up.

 

Hope to see a comparison of the waterman and fireball soon.

Hi there! There's a comparison of Levenger Fireball & Waterman Red at the bottom of my review of Levenger Fireball. Hard to tell on the comparison, but Fireball leans just a little more orange.

 

Best, Ann

Yup, it also looks too red on my screen but I am not sure how to adjust the scan setting. Waterman Red is a bit too bright for me so I haven't use for a long time, will do a comparison when I dig up the bottle.

 

I use Fireball to do highlighting and write short summary sentences. It is too bright for extensive writing, but that's just me.

I love the brightness of it. It's just a nice peppy red to work with, IMHO. I use it exclusively in all but four of my pens. The others are devoted to BSB.

      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
