Brown - Jinhao

[visvamitra]

Jinhao is popular chinese FP brand. They offer also ink in cartridges in five colors: black, blue, brown, green and red. I must say these inks are really well behaved, saturated and rather nice.

I don't think that Jinhao produces their inks, they just label other manufacturer's inks. I lack knowledge to judge which ones? I would be interested to know, so if you happen to possess some knowledge / insight on chinese ink market, I'd love to hear it.

What's cool is the fact they sell mix of cartridges so that you can try few colors for less money. Also the price is really low (1 $ shipped), so you don't risk anything.

Brown has nice flow and is well behaved in every way. The color has too much red to my taste though.
