Pretty close to Diamine Red Dragon. This one a little bit more brown, Diamine Red Dragon a little bit more red. Red Dragon is upcoming...

What I like about this one is that the outline of the lines get a kind of dark outline. If you enlarge the picture you can see it.

And it smells nice during writing....

I love this ink. The scent is just lovely, reminiscent of roses (to my nose, at least) AND it lingers on the nib and on the paper!

Unfortunately, I read online that Blackstone has closed up shop and whatever Red Kunzea was produced prior to the close is all there is. I have one bottle but I don't believe I have a second.

I'm having very little luck finding another for back up. I guess I'm hoarding the little bit I have, along with all my Lamy Copper Orange cartridges. (And as far as cartridges go, I have to worry about them evaporating through the plastic and leaving my stash of it depleted in the end, anyway ...)

Does anyone here have a line on where I might get another bottle of Red Kunzea? I really would like one to spare.

That's a really good question.

 

I'd start looking at some of the online stores. You want someone who has pre-covid stock.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

That's good advice. Thank you! 😃

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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

      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.
