Customer Reviews
This is an everyday ink for me, and it also is a "you should clean it out after awhile" ink as it has a lot of solids in it. and they like to cling...still worth it. It's divine in a demonstrator and really wows.
I absolutely love the color. It's a vibrant red that's not too blue or to orange. I hoped it would be truly waterproof but it runs at the slightest hint of moisture. The hunt for a true red waterproof ink continues.
The sample was used in a Pilot CH 912 w/ stub nib. The ink itself is opaque almost like an acrylic paint. It goes down wet and smooth. The color is not the most vibrant and bright red I've used but it is a fairly "true" red without any off-color hue. I would like a good archival/water resistant red for work use, it's ok on office paper (though some absorbing and feathering) so it may suffice. One drawback is dry time, with my stub nib this is taking 20-30sec on Rhodia. Once dry it's not smudging. I'll try others but this is a contender.
Red is my favorite color. It is very water resistant and writing is still plenty readable if I get it wet and try smearing it. I really like to do art with it! It is awesome ink. My mom got me a sample and I would enjoy a bottle.
I was looking for a red that wasn't pink-ish or orange-ish. This was suits the bill in terms of color, it's a true red - bold and vibrant, and it is fast drying and seems pretty waterproof. I would defintely buy a bottle after I'm done with my sample.
