Good review, Michael -- thanks.

When I first got some Antietam I inked up a Pilot 78G (F nib) with it.

Didn't like it at all. The color looked like semi-dried thinned-out blood.

When I put some of it in an old Sheaffer Lifetime Balance, the color

looked dramatically different, much more brown and less red. I had

bought the ink as a red, but if it works as a brown, then so be it.

Now I'm beginning to think I like the ink, so I'll keep it.

yes, i agree, antietam is one of those depends-what-pen-you-use inks. sometimes i like it, sometimes i love it, sometimes i think monaco red is its superior.

The ink comparison is especially useful. I have the widowmaker, and was wondering how Antietam compared. Thanks!

Thanks for the review. This is a great ink that I use every day to grade papers because it allows me to use the traditional reddish color without all the negativity associated with bright red ink. I find that students can see my comments more clearly in contrast with the black ink of their papers.
