  1. Today I'm reviewing Sailor Jentle Irori (Hearth Red) This is one of the newer inks that has been re-released into the current Jentle line-up. My sincere thanks to a kind forum member who sent me this sample to review. Its a very strong, very saturated, vibrant, bright red. Occasionally it seems to look quite orange, but it definitely has pink undertones and actually isnt very orange at all. The chroma test shows it to be a mixture of bright magenta pink and yellow dyes. As I have samples of both inks, I also chroma tested Sailor Kingdom Note Nipponia Nipon, and both chroma tests came out identical. I filled a converter in a Parker Sonnet with 18ct gold medium nib. I also swapped that converter full into a spare 18ct gold fine nib. When not filling through the nib, it took a while to get it started after I swapped the converter over. Flow Rate: Very good. Quite wet in the pen & paper combinations I used.Lubrication: Very good and smooth with both nibs on several different papersNib Dry-out: Not noticed in normal use.Start-up: Immediate after filling through the nib. Hesitant when not filled through the nib.Saturation: Very saturated.Shading Potential: A little shading seen.Sheen: Some reviews show this ink has gold sheen, but it didnt show up on my paper.Show-Through:Tomoe River 68gsm.Banner generic 80 & 90gsm printer papers & lined pads.Field NotesTom Bihn LinedSilvine PaperClairefontaine CrokbookSainsburys Moleskine CloneSpread / Feathering / Woolly Line: Only a little seen on Field Notes.Nib Creep / Crud: Not seen, even after over 1 week in the penStaining (pen): Not seen inside the converter after flushing with soapy water.Staining (hands): Stained my hands and they needed washing with Lava soap to remove Irori from my fingers.Clogging: Not seen. Seems unlikely.Water resistance: Not sold as waterproof and not at all water resistantAvailability: Available from Sailor stockists and many other online outlets.
