Hello - I am relatively new to the world of fountain pens but what I lack in experience I make up for in enthusiasm and curiosity! I have a relatively small collection of pens and have started venturing into new inks to enrich my experience. A few months back I purchased a private labelled Red Brown ink co-branded De Atramentis, who is presumably the ink's actual manufacturer. This ink bleeds through all but the highest grade papers like no other ink I have used previously or since, (I have tried without issue Waterman Black, Waterman Brown, Diamine Sherwood Green, Private Reserve Tanzanite). My wife returned home on the weekend after a shopping expedition and presented me with a gift...a pen case and a bottle of Kind of Blue ink with the store brand of the aforementioned Red Brown and I politely accepted the gift all the time thinking oh no, I'll never use this. To my surprise the ink does not have the same bleed through issues and while not co-branded De Atrementis, the bottle is the same and I suspect it too is manufactured by De Atrementis. I was wondering if anyone could provide some insight into why the Red Brown was problematic? I have looked at the Goulet site and find some helpful information on some inks, but very little on others. Is there a more comprehensive source? Is there an underlying driver of bleed through i.e. color? Thanks in advance. bl
