Toucan Crimson Ink

[Jamerelbe]

Here is ink #5 in the range of Toucan inks - and another of my personal favourites. This ink has been pretty constantly in one or more of my fountain pens since I first got hold of it. I think the hand-written review pretty much says it all (assuming you can read my handwriting) - but feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Getting closer to red and to my Red Black (Nikita and Red Black are my favorites in this area). It seems these inks, were I to get hold of them, would be better in a fine nib for me. I do like my colors a little more deep/saturated.

Yep, I'm a fan of saturated inks too - apart from this range, most of my (admittedly small) collection of inks come from Noodler's - Baystate Blue, Liberty's Elysium, Red Black and Green Marine, X-Feather, a couple of others, all of them highly saturated. My first reaction to some of these inks was that they were too subtle - for that very reason - but the lower saturation means greater shading, and a more varied response from different pens (which is a good thing in my books - wetter pens produce darker lines). So I've found myself enjoying these inks more and more. Vive la difference, non?

I like super saturated inks, but in fairness, these inks seem to be good performers and still vibrant.

It also mixes really well.
