Montblanc Winter Glow

[lgsoltek]

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.

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

Looks cool.

Amazing job on the comparison pic. This looks like a great low shading waterproof red.

I love this ink. Also, your pen is beautiful!

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

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!

Admittedly looks great, sadly its limited edition too, and its have a crazy high price in e-bay.

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.

Any replacement for this ink?

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.

[Old_Inkyhand]

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 was looking last night at my dry Shakespeare ink... I've used it in different papers, Rhodia and tomoe river as well as cheap.

 

I see the ink more like a red-er version of ancient Cooper.

[Chrissy]

Maybe Winter Glow is more like Diamine Ruby then

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.
