Another nice red ink from Montblanc. Montblanc is really good at making reds. Corn Poppy Red is my favourite red ink. This one doesn't stay far behind.

And it has some water resistance!

It's a perfect match with my new red Pilot Falcon/Elabo.

Nice review and ink. Looks similar to Rouge Hematite with out the gold sheen/sparkles.

So many inks, so little time...

That does look like a nice ink. Is it a limited edition, though? I didn't find it on Montblanc's website, just Corn Poppy Red.

Great review and I love the comparison of all the reds!

Hi Ruth, I got on the red bandwagon a little late, so I only got my first bottle of this ink a month or so ago. If you are interested in getting one, I would check the MB boutiques, because they still had some left over inventory.

Has anyone compared it to the latest Shakespeare Velvet red? I would do so - if only I had received my bottle of Shakespeare. I have an unused bottle of Winter Glow.

I think this one has pink/magenta undertones, whereas Shakespeare has brown undertones. Recently I saw a review (in Polish) in which this ink seemed to be even more pink.

I recently found six back up bottles of this in my ink box. I also found 10 back ups of Hitchcock. Do I need both? Maybe it's time to do a detailed comparison between the two so I can decide if I want to sell some of either bottles.

I'm sure you would have no problem selling either colour. :)

OR...........maybe you should have FOUR more bottles of Winter Glow so neither one will feel you like the other better?

Nice to see the comparison with the other red inks!

I've always found this to be an exceptional red ink.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      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
