The Tangerine Dream

June 17, 2012

I have to apologize for the photos. The lighting in my apartment is horrible and with the flash the colours get a bit washed out. The colour in the second photo is much closer to what the ink looks like in real life, more reddish than orange.

You haven't said what the recipe is.

Odd because I have an old box of Herbin coloured ink cartridges. I have used all of the orange and didn't much like the yellow.

So this morning I have given a little injection of Sheaffer Skrip red into a yellow cart.

It has come out as a very tangerine colour.

Hi,

It is in the hand written part (but I won't hold it against anyone not being able to read it :

Skrip Red

Skrip Brown

D'Artemis Golden Yellow.

The more I use it the more I like it. Some of my dryer pens start of a rich red and then turn more tangerine/orange after 3 or 4 lines. The wet writers shade nicely from deep tangerine to light orange.

HA! No problem That is a nice shading orange you have there. Slightly too light for my tastes. As a reference, take a look at the picture of ink of friendship (on the left): http://lh6.ggpht.com/-D5crhMcUH24/TjwKPNrNxaI/AAAAAAAAAPI/eHfUlFqhC8Y/MontBlanc-INk-Cartride-and-Bottles_thumb%25255B2%25255D.jpg?imgmax=800 . In the picture, the bottle looks quite red, but on paper it is bright orange. So when you look t reds and orange, your mix in bottle/cartridge might look dark red, but it can be quite light.
