For those of us that don't have access to the bottle art, here are some pictures!

ON the last one, you can see what I meant by: "I saw a really red bottle of ink"

The name of the ink is interesting in itself. In semitic cultures, Djinns are spirits, that can be nice or bad, depending on the circumstances. In that sense, red fits well with the name. However, I would have expected a more vivacious/brighter colour than the red that I see on my screen : I agree that the red is a bit dull.

 

Thank you for the review.

If the ink is "eternal" in the Noodler's sense, it would be cellulose-reactive, which can make it duller than other inks in similar colors.

I've got a bottle of Devil Red and it's certainly a great ink. But my bottle has a single-side, red-tinted photo of a Tasmanian Devil, not the three-sided, wrap-around label your bottle's got.

 

I think it's a very nice ink though. Red, red, but it dries duller than most.....Nice to me.

I'm review that next, with noodler's cactus fruit, diamine indigo, x-feather, and various inks of different brands.

I've discussed this ink in several places.

 

For one thing, I compared it to Empire Red here, although the image isn't showing anymore. The link still works, but I'll just repost it here:

From Fountain Pen Ink

 

I've additionally shown scans including it here,

 

And a few mixes with it have been documented here and here, and there is a "chasing" shown here.

 

Its waterproofness can be seen here.

 

In short, I really like this ink, primarily because it is in the Swisher Eternal series, which have been bulletproofs that seem to always have really nice operability, unlike some of the Russians, some of the UK inks, and one of the Pendemonium inks. No it's not a very vibrant red, but that's why we mix inks!!

Also, I believe somewhere Nathan had mentioned that he was receiving sinister threats from people offended at the original "Devil Red" name, so he renamed the ink. I think you can find it in the discussion of naming the black ink "Heart of Darkness"
