As part of my expansion of the ink collection in the brown range beyond its already vast range, and from visvamitra's reviews of some of their other inks, I picked up this ink, as well as the Brown which I've already reviewed. Color-wise, it's not quite the match for PPM that I had hoped, being an authentic brown instead of a brown-black, but a very good ink. Tested on Mohawk via Linen, Hammermill 28 lb Inkjet, and Clairefontaine papers. The iPhotos came out darker than I wanted. The wash is closer of an Indian Red instead of the brown shown here. Not terribly waterfast in the blotting test. Even after just a minute, nearly all the ink lifts off the paper. The ink washes with an Indian Red earth color (for those familiar with the traditional watercolor earth pigments). Fairly interesting chromatography.
