This is one of my top 2 reds. I use this and Jacques Herbin Rouge Hematite and I couldn't ask for anything better.

Beautiful, I love this color

I love this color. For me it's the perfect balance between brown and red. It's the perfect autumnal color. It writes well even on junk paper I use from work. I've used it on the Mnemosyne paper, and that changes everything. It's even more amazing. The shading is very nice. It does quickly enough and it's very smooth. Beautiful.

Great color!

I got this sample along with Olivine (a green) - and these two gave me all the fall safari feels! writing with these two inks in the same week was just very safari feeling! loved them both! very well-behaved inks. This color does match a giraffe and I love them. i was very happy with this ink and I think you will too. dried fast enough, went down wet, and very well-behaved. get yourself some! you won't be disappointed!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
