That is odd - I have used IMG tags around the jpgs and the addresses are correct but I am not seeing the pictures.

 

EDIT : There we go, that's better.

The one that pushed me in this direction was Noodler's Mata Hari's Cordial - the old rose - but it was not available in the UK and that was one of the factors that made me look at Diamine, my local ink supplier.

I just bought a 30mL from Diamine. I've been into this kind of color lately. I also got some Diamine Deep Magenta. Joining My Yama Budo and Oku-Yama!

Nice shading! Thank you Daniel!

 

Alejo, I'd love to see the comparisons.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

And I bought a bottle of this today, using this very review (before I saw it had been revived) as my decision-maker. Everything's coming up Amaranth, it appears!
