Ink Splash (on Tomoe River to show sheen)

Red 1 is nice and saturated ink. It behaves fairly well on most papers, even those of debatable quality. The flow is good, there's no water resistance.

A little too blood red for me. But thanks for the review as always (I've really liked most of the KWZI inks I've tried -- both standard and IG inks).

Wow, that is a really nice red! Dark, without being Maroon dark. Thanks, vis.

This very nice ink reminds me of Montblanc's Shakespeare Velvet Red.

I don't use reds much at all, so I just stick with my boring Akane and Berning Red.

Wow! This red seems to be bloody cool! Thank you for your review.

I like this red... dark, but not too dark and the shading gives it character. Will be on the lookout for it at the LA Pen Show.

BTW, Vis don't forget to send me the old sheets when you are done. You are the number one contributor to the fade tests that are in my windows right now.
