on salePilot Iroshizuku Momiji - Ink Sample

This ink is a well-behaved medium red. I tested it on a Rhodia ivory Webbie. The ink dries fully between 20-30 seconds on a cross hatch. Drying times are under 30 seconds on regular lines. The sheen is low but as a result, this ink is one you would write with on a continual basis without being difficult to read. Good color without being flashy. This ink is appropriate for school or for work.

Pleasure using it.

This is one of the colors I constantly purchase when getting sample vials. To me and my eyes, this red is very soft and not eye straining, especially when using in a pen that's a fine nibbed one. I quite enjoy this color. The ease of cleaning is a definite plus! This ink would be great for note taking.

Writing with this ink, at first, I was confused by everyone calling it 'red;' it was dark pink for me .. on an odd-brand but decent paper I happened to be using. Tried it on Rhodia paper & yeah, red. Tried it on Tomoe River paper and WOW! Red with a definite sheen to it (even with a medium nib), just gorgeous.Momiji also changed subtly as I continued to write, making it very vital to look at. Not so much change as to be overly flashy, but a noticeable color change throughout an A4 Tomoe River page of writing (plus, that sheen!!!)This is another lovely, interestingly formulated ink from Iroshizuku that every red-ink user should at least try: a bottle of this is definitely going on my (Inks) Wishlist!

The color changes depending on the pen and paper you are using. All of the shades are beautiful - some look more like autumn leaves than others.
