Private Reserve's Copper Burst

[JJBlanche]

Very well done.

 

Anyone try this in a fine or medium?

[tknechtel]

I use it for drawing in a Namiki Falcon (which is fine shading to medium, depending on pressure) and a Sailor pen with a Sabi-Togi nib (which is extra-fine). I like the Copper Burst (and Noodler's Golden Brown) because it looks like the ink artists used for drawing in the 15th-18th centuries.

Very well done.

I have it in my medium Carene and love it.

 

Still get the great shading - not anywhere near

as dark as it appears in the opening post.

 

I tried to scan it but my scanner colors aren't

true to life at all.

This has now officially been added to the "must buy" list

Holy ophthalmology, Batman!! I think I'm seeing non blue-black things!!

Any scans of this compared to Caran's Grand Canyon?

[penguinmaster]

I recently picked up this color. I love it, it's fast becoming a favorite of mine. It was actually my first jump back into Private Reserve. Iv'e been buying Noodlers for a long time and sold off all my Private Reserve. Time to get some more colors of it now!

Wow, I must have a bottle!

[bwnewton]

It's one of my favorites--good flow, nice shading, no feathering or bleeding on most papers.

I may be totally off, but this looks much more like a red-black than a brown. I would call PR Orange Crush more of a brown than this. It could be my monitor as well.

Copper Burst was my first bottled ink - and it was such a magnificent color that it inspired me to buy many, many more bottles of ink....

[PatientType]

I just wish the color was as dark as the scan you have!

Anyone have an idea of something that comes close to this tone?

 

 

The scanned color looks very, very much like the Private Reserve Burgundy Mist. Which I've just been trying for the first time this week and I like very much.

Does it?! I have a hard time believing that...

The original scan of Copper Burst is unfortunately somewhat darker than the ink is in real life. Attempts to correct the scan weren't an improvement, largely because I didn't really know what I was doing with the software that I was using. (I'm now slightly more competent, but only slightly.) The ink really is a pleasant coppery-brown. Not having tried Burgundy Mist, I can't comment on similarities, but I can't see anything like burgundy in the real Copper Burst. If Burgundy Mist is the dark sort of colour found in the scan, however, then perhaps it's just what Frankiex is looking for.

Sentraser it might be the monitor but the scan looks the the same here; rather dark and blood like. BUT copper burst is much more in line with what you would expect from the name: a coppery brown, kinda golden, kinda brownish, but not red. Really nice, actually. Looks great in journal with cream paper. Excellent performer.

This does in fact appear much lighter for me than in this scan. It has some flow issues for me in a drier/finer nibbed pen. I'm liking Chocolat better.

Available in bottles and cartridges (both universal and international sizes), Private Reserve's Copper Burst will please those of you who like brown ink, chocolate, and coffee. Enjoy!

Cartridges come in both universal and international sizes? The decision tree for a newbie like moi is beginning to branch out beyond my ken. I may have to ask for advice.

Hi all,

In your experience, is this considered a "dry" ink? I'm having some minor problems in my new Omas 360 which has a cartridge of PR Copper Burst in it. It seems to leave more blank spaces than I am used to finding in my writing. I'm wondering whether it's the pen or the ink cartridge.

As for the color, on certain white paper, I find it starts off really light and becomes darker when it dries. I found that it feathers a bit on very cheap copy paper (which they use in my office).

Please forgive me for resurrecting a rather old thread, but I had some questions for people who use Private Reserve Copper Burst. I recently purchased a bottle. The color is not green, and doesn't seem "bad," but there doesn't seem to be any copper to it. It shows up as a sort of light golden brown. I'm not seeing any red shades at all.

 

Is this consistent with the color? Should I be seeing more red? Is it possible my bottle is off? Again, it doesn't look bad, just not red. I have tried it on regular copy paper and my Clairefontaine notebook, in a couple of pens.

 

I'm waffling as to whether or not to post the picture, as it actually looks darker in the picture than the actual color.
