on saleNoodler's Rose in the Louvre - Ink Sample

I loveddd this ink! The color is exactly as you would expect

I bought this as a test, and I'm happy with the results. The color is vibrant, yet dignified; that's how I can best express it. The color itself performed well on rhodia and on high quality paper I bought from staples (90 gms). It did not bleed through nor did it feather out. Drying time was a bit long, but not cumbersome enough to wait for.. I used a Noodlers Ahab (Vulcan's Coral) and the color matched the pen perfectly.

Beautiful heavily-saturated red with more purple than Noodler's Red-Black. Shading at the tops of lines. Some halo. No feathering or spread. My issue is that in my Jinhao X450 with a Broad nib, I'm seeing smearing after 10 minutes. I would love this ink if not for that. Also, water resistance is always nice.

very bland shade of red. from the three shades of red that I have of noodler's, this is the least noteworthy.

I have been using Nikita Red exclusively for quite a while. The Ottoman Rose is nice change. It has enough purple hue to make it interesting. It flows well and does not bleed through. I've been using it for a month and I still can't get enough of it.
