I saw Momiji in the CRV book and definitely thought it was too pink for me. I still haven't tried out my bottle of Irori, but it looks like it may be my perfect bright red.

I'm going to try Iori soon. I love Momiji, but it's pink (except for those few times when it appears red).

I was really surprised! Give it a shot and see how you like it!

Momiji is definitely too pink for me. I really like Irori--not too pink, not too orange.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Noodlers' FPN-Exclusive Voltaire Candide Vermillion.

 

Not sure what to think about this ink yet. It's a pinkish red, somewhere between strawberry and wine in hue. Flow is a little less than some other inks I've tried recently, but this is not a dry ink.

Sailor Irori. I love this ink. It's a bright cherry red that makes my previous favorite, Waterman (Audacious) Red, look dull by comparison. It's also my favorite of the Sailor inks I have tried (Waka-Uguisu, Kin-Mokusei, and Yuki-Akari).

Without question, my newest favorite bright red. Love this ink —especially its golden sheen!

Oops you have created a monster in me, would you show us Candide next to Irori?

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

VCV is significantly more purple than Irori. What the scanner isn't capturing is the difference between bright and dark; in real life VCV is a darker hue than Irori. Tomoe River.

The phone captures the difference in hue and brightness better. Makes me wonder why I'm using the scanner.

I have both inks, and your phone image is more true to life —including the sheen on Irori. Irori is unquestionably the most spectacular red I've seen in a long time. Phenomenal!

      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
