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

;) show a very 'poppy-red' colour! It's not a little more this or that, it's 100% poppy red.

I don't have a box either, just figure of speach.

Nice work Amberlea,

 

That red certainly is POPPY. I will buy some to use as a textmarker....

 

By the way I have redirected your review to Dr Jansen... He will be happy with it....

 

Regards

D's Poppy is my favourite red (for years) -- altho their Wild Strawberry comes in close. I guess I missed the DeA version. Thanks, I'll order it tonight.

Any idea how it compares to Diamine poppy red?

 

My Co-Reviewer will be so glad you asked.

Thanks for this review. This is one color that I have been considering for purchase for a while now, and I think I am going to go ahead and order some.

Richard's mention/recommendation that Sheaffer's Red is the "purest", "best", simplest and easiest-to-maintain red ink made me buy that as my very first red. I liked it, I used it for years but then replaced it with D's Poppy. I'll have to go along with Amber here in that it is likely the brightest, clearest red, nicely saturated but not too much, and yes, very easy to clean. No blue but IMO at least a half a tick of orange (which is what real poppies look like to me). If I could have only one (1.00) red, it's be D's Poppy.

 

For sure

Did I write Biro? Because I don't know what it is... although I do know about a Bic or Bics - depending on my writing, I could have said Bic - they are inexpensive ballpoint pens.

No you did not write biro...
