So here is my new creation and my new go to red. I wanted something with a little more vibrancy them my Monaco Red for this years Christmas cards, and this was perfect. It is what I have always wanted a red to look like. By the way, the paper is HP 32# Premium. Hope you enjoy it.

Are you experiencing any negatives with this mixture? I ask because, usually, 2 brands of ink do not play nice with each other...as I have learned in my ink experiment lessons haha. But I have been interested in a really nice deep dark red and this looks promising!

How clever! I have both of these inks and will head to the ink bar right now and mix this cocktail.

 

Thanks for posting this.

 

 

Cheers!

I know exactly what you mean. However, I have not seen any bad side effects. It does darken with time as I mentioned, but that is a good side effect. No clogging, sediment, turning into paste or separating. And I've been using it since mid December. Monaco red has really good flow, and BSAR tends to run a little dry. This runs in between them somewhere just like you would think.

Sounds as if you have discovered the best ink for your needs. Having used both inks, feel the mixture should work out well for you.

 

Don't you just love the Jinhao pens? The only drawback to most of the Chinese pens is that they seem to see a bit of flow decrease over time. But I have one -- close to an X450 -- that is ground to a very fine italic. It is holding up well and is my favorite note-taking pen. Hope you experience the same good results.

 

Would suggest eventually trying your mix in the Lamy Safari. Would expect a higher flow and better shading as a result.

 

Best to you,

Yours,
Randal

The human dichotomies of trust and distrust, honor and duplicity, love and hate --- all depend on internal states we cannot directly experience. Isn't this what adds zest to our life?

Thanks Randal. I do get frustrated with flow issues in the Jinhaos, but they are so cheap. I got both those pens for under $5 on ebay. I am definitely going to try out the red in the Lamy one if these days.

This is a beautiful color thank you for sharing.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
