Since I replicate old magic texts as a hobby, I'm always on the lookout for the perfect red. This is really good for illustrations due to the regal nature of this color. It has a great brightness balance and a good contrast on aged paper.

Ok but not was not what i wanted. Still looking for a Red. Looks like Shaefer Red i just received from Goulet Pen is the Red i have been looking for. Very good service and quick response to orders.

A bit desaturated for my tastes, but it's a red. Similar to Poppy Red

I got this ink solely for grading papers and it is wonderful. There is a bit of feathering with it, but still smooth.

We test with both a glass pen and an italic plumix so we have both a wet representation and a drier one. It feathers a bit in a wet writer, but the shading in a dry writer is pretty. It's dark and enchanting. It's gorgeous if you can find a pen to do it justice.
