CUTE! The wash is super nice on this!

 

So, is anyone selling Robert Oster inks commercially?

I love red.

 

 

This is wonderful. Red makes my world go 'round.

 

Matador is great, but oh, those freakishly long dry times for Noodler inks. I've just about given up on them.

I love seeing the other similar inks! Grapefruit is one I never tried —looks like it may be a good one to have!

I have 3 of the 6 inks, so I wouldn't do well on the quiz . But I did try a crazy experiment with KWZ Maroon: I added copper sparkles, and it's REALLY intense. When I have some time tomorrow, I'll take pictures...

Shoot, I couldn't name the inks.

Beautiful! Love the dark reds!

LG, I adore these abstract doodles.

Waterman Red (this is a real "you just got an F on your term paper" red)

 

 

Private Reserve Fiesta Red

 

 

Private Reserve Black Cherry

Lamy Red - this is "ballpoint pen red". Glad I bought this one only as a pack of 5 cartridges. Maybe useful for highlighting but not much else.

 

[ErrantSmudge]

Diamine Oxblood - this is from a fine, somewhat dry nib.





On a wetter pen (a glass dip pen in this case) it comes out very dark. (Same paper, Clairefontaine)

Private Reserve Black Cherry

Have you noticed any significant sheen on the Black Cherry? It's a very consistent sheener for me, but it may be that my bottle is unusual —or just old...

I'm not really seeing any significant sheen on Black Cherry - but my bottle is also old.

Montblanc Bordeaux Red. This is an older Montblanc color, purchased in the early 2000s before they reformulated their colors. (Ignore the reference to "burgundy red", a modern color, in the sample). This sample is on 20lb copy paper, rather than the usual Rhodia paper I use for samples.

Well, if I had to pick, the Claret would be my #1, followed closely by Bordeaux. The Burgundy comes in 3rd --it's too violet/pink to be a favorite...

How I would pick them too.

And now for a touch of wine from a recent CRV with Amberlea: deA Cabernet Sauvignon and Diamine Syrah. Cheers!

OMAS Amerigo Vespucci Red. I think this may have been a limited edition red ink, but I'm no longer sure. It's been many years such I purchased this bottle and sadly, OMAS is out of business.

 

My scanner/monitor combo captures this as a strawberry red, but it's actually more of a burgundy red with blue undertones. It's dark enough to use for general writing.

Thank you for sending this one a CRV.
