No, but I like Noodlers Voltaire Candide Vermillion. You can buy it here on the network

I had bought this to be supportive of FPN but thought I would never like or use it. But I like it with a gold nib, which mutes it.

 

Great review.

A very nice review, thanks!

 

I like the ink just fine, but it's misnamed. Vermilion, to me, is a red that leans toward orange, and this one leans toward pink. It behaves well, and isn't any more trouble to clean than most other reds. It's a good value and a good way to support FPN.

Rationalizing pen and ink purchases since 1967.

Initially, in my mind, I thought vermilion was a colour with a bit of orange to it. Just like you. However, i looked up the word vermilion in the dictionary, and it states "a bright red colour." hmmm....how a word evolved in meaning over time. I got it! I'll just paint the Voltaire Candide Vermilion label with a touch of Noodler's Apache Sunset. lol...

This is my favourite red ink. I don't see any other colour in it, no orange, no pink, no brown--nothing. So I would say, this is the equivalent to Baystate Blue which is nothing but blue. This ink is nothing but red, it is as red as red can be.

My avatar is a painting by Ilya Mashkov (1881-1944): Self-Portrait; 1911, which I photographed in the New Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow.

      Thanks for the info (I only used B&W film and learned to process that).   Boy -- the stuff I learn here!  Just continually astounded at the depth and breadth of knowledge in this community! Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth

      >Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color,<   I'm sure they were, and my answer assumes that. It just wasn't likely to have been Kodachrome.  It would have been the films I referred to as "other color films." (Kodachrome is not a generic term for color film. It is a specific film that produces transparencies, or slides, by a process not used for any other film. There are other color trans

      @Ceilidh -- Well, I knew people who were photography majors in college, and I'm pretty sure that at least some of them were doing photos in color, not just B&W like I learned to process.  Whether they were doing the processing of the film themselves in one of the darkrooms, or sending their stuff out to be processed commercially?  That I don't actually know, but had always assumed that they were processing their own film.

      Kodachrome 25 was the most accurate film for clinical photography and was used by dermatologists everywhere. I got magnificent results with a Nikon F2 and a MicroNikkor 60 mm lens, using a manually calibrated small flash on a bracket. I wish there were a filter called "Kodachrome 25 color balance" on my iPhone camera.
