Fountain pen users! Please speak to me of your favorite red inks. I have a few Pilot samples, but they’re all more in a magenta or orange-red direction; none of them feel quite like a true, vivid red to me. It seems like a basic color I ought to have (especially when editing a novel, where I’m marking up a print manuscript), but rather than buying a bunch of samples, I’d like to hear what other people prefer.
Diamine Red Dragon, Diamine Oxblood, Diamine Syrah, Diamine Writer’s Blood, Pilot Iroshizuku Fuyu-gaki.
I’m partial to all Pilot Iroshizuku inks and the Diamine reds.
Fuyu-gaki is a little too orange-tilted for what I’m looking for, but I will check out Diamine! I have . . . only one of their inks, the Sherwood Green.
I’m a big fan of their Diamine’s Sherwood Green as well. They have a lot of really fantastic colors.
This blog post has a review of a bunch of red inks… https://mountainofink.com/blog/red-ink
That is an ASTONISHING quantity of red inks! O_O
