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

Thanks for the review. For my part, I wanted to like Waterman Red, but I failed. The niche in my arsenal that Waterman Red might have filled for me has Sheaffer Skrip Red in it right now.

I know my id is "mhosea", but you can call me Mike. It's an old Unix thing.

Yeah, I'm with you. I wonder if it would be a good pen to use between other inks that are prone to staining. Its is probably good for cleaning out other colors. Also it might be a good ink to use as a mix with dry inks.

Thanks for the review. You did it again. One only needs to be a bit of an artist here but you're a great artist. I'm a zero artist and all I need to have for such a review is a good paper and a good pen.

It's a nice, soft red, like a carmine.

The other day I found a box with six unopened bottles. It would seem I was keen on it about four years ago. I inked up a pen recently from an open bottle. It leans a little too far towards orange for my tastes. I prefer the Skrip red. Now what do I do with those six bottles?

Post in the classifieds to trade with someone else for other inks.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
