This bottle of ink was sent to me for review by Diamine. I'm not otherwise affiliated with them.

I bought a 30ml bottle of this from Nordic Pens and have enjoying it in my TWSBI for a while now. It's dark enough for m at work and yet odd enough to be...well...mine.

I got a swab of this in one of my Goulet Pens orders. It's definitely on my radar. There have been some really nice reds come out recently and this is one of them.

Agreed -- have been really getting into some of the new reds! And this is one of my favs -- currently in my TWSBI and Garnet Red Carene... Also first up in line for one of my CI VP's when one is ready for a change of color.

Ah me.

I just cannot join the Love In for this sort of Red.

 

And I like red. Red. RED.

 

Clearly nothing 'wrong' with it, just that it has no resonance : like a violin with only the E string - lack of harmonics or something.

 

Yet the Oxbood has sooooo much more going for it. (A pot of that awaits my tender ministrations.)

 

Thanks for saving me time, money & greater disappointment.

 

I have returned, and am again amongst my inky array; the Blues continue to beckon.

I love this color. It's very close (but not quite the same) as Herbin 1670. It's a great red, and something about the name brings out something primal in me!

I don't like this red, either. It has no character. It is simply too fair-to-middling for a middle to middle-dark red. No brick, no antique, no rust, no blood, no wine. E.g. (among many other competitors) 1670, Oxblood, Tiananmen, Monaco Red, Levenger Shiraz, Seasons's Greetings 2007 Vanilla... My gosh, I see no end here.
