yes! i've anxiously been awaiting an Immoteus review of Momiji!! If I get an Iroshizuku ink, this will be the one. Any ideas of it comparing to CdA Sunset? the pink of the smearing is incredible. Makes me think of the Dragon's Napalm pinkness.

That is some nice ink and I must have a bottle.

Very nice review.

I love the color. I only wish I had a use for some red ink.

[Michael R.]

Many thanks for the great review!

 

Momiji is an excellent ink showing both bright red as well as bright magenta tones.

 

To me the scans look very accurate showing both the red and magenta hues.

 

Especially when using pens with wet ink flow the magenta becomes less apparent.

 

Cheers

Thanks for waiting! Unfortunately, I do not have CdA sunset; perhaps someone who is in possession of both colours is willing to post a colour comparison?

Thank you all, I'm glad you like the colour. I had to adjust the colour balance in PS to get an accurate scan.

Very tempting -- this seems closer to a true red than any ink that I am currently using.

I absolutely love this color, but I just don't use enough red ink to justify buying a full bottle, sadly. Pity they don't sell smaller bottles, ne?

 

Thanks for the great review!

Beautiful ink!!!! I love red ink. I use it all the time -- even to write letters! Very stunning. I can see this is a must have!
