Waterman Red

You will like Waterman's Red, Roger, is nice, the color is super and has all the superlative properties of the Waterman's Inks. A must.

I agree, a great red for anyone looking for a real red ink that works as well as any of the other Waterman inks. It is also extremely lightfast compared to most other inks.

 

Here is a link to a lightfastness test that I did with Waterman Red ink.

Exactly what I am looking for, a bright reddish red. Cheap too!

 

Only one concern, can someone tell me if and how much it bleeds in a M nib. I use cheap collegeblock paper, but am too cheap to do all my work on nicer paper.

 

Thanks

 

edit: Asking this because the Waterman Purple I have does bleed, even in a F.

Is funny. I've read here a couple comments about feathering with the Purple. Is my daily ink. Never had a problem with feathering nor bleeding with W. Purple. And I run a good couple bottles down per year at least. Maybe the paper? If you have problems with it, you can send it over anytime !!

No feathering nor bleeding at all. Even on cheap copy paper. So no concerns.

Wonderful to read! Thank you!!

I just tried this ink and it made my pen write dry and scratchy. Anyone else have this experience?

I picked up some Waterman Red recently after reading this thread. It's a beautifully rich and vibrant red with good flow and smoothness (sorry XBaucus BillX, can't agree with you on that).

This is my red for editing and other mark-up.

 

It is the red I think of when I think of "red."

 

Well-behaved, good flow, very smooth for me out of a variety of vintage and new fine point pens.
