De Atramentis Artist Red

[Yazeh]

Like it’s document sibling, Artist red reminds me of watermelon juice or more precisely coral red
I honestly cannot see much of variation between the two. If you need a document red ink go for the sibling, if not Artist is fine. The bottles are different, Artist is 50 ml.
Let's start with the chroma:

Writing samples:
I used the same poem by Mark Nepo, which you find here.

If you use a wet flex pen on this paper, you'll have a bit of ghosting and bleed through.

and De Atramentis Artist Red


· Pens used: Pilot Kakuna Ef/Stub, Kaweco (EF/Reverse BB/M/B/BB), Kanwrite Ultraflex,
· What I liked: Teaching me to write with a feather hand, very easy to clean. Worked well with the pilot stub...
· What I did not like: Not much lubricated, palish red, good for art work
· What some might not like: Dryish, the colour.
· Shading: None.
· Ghosting: Faint on copy paper. If you're heavy handed.
· Bleed through: None
· Flow Rate: Wet.
· Lubrication: It won’t make your scratchy nib glide.
· Nib Dry-out: No.
· Start-up: No.
· Saturation: No.
· Shading Potential: Dismal
· Sheen: None
· Spread / Feathering / Woolly Line: None.
· Nib Creep / “Crud”: A bit
· Staining (pen): No.
· Clogging: No.
· Cleaning: Easy. Like most pigment inks the more it stays in the pne the more you need to soak. But I didn’t need to use pen flush.
· Water resistance: Excellent.

Thank you, Yazeh, for slogging through this uninspiring ink to bring us adorable painter kitty, slightly frightening frosted kitty cat birthday cake , and the Prince of Cards. Your reviewing is the better part of this ink.

Yep it was the toughest part! But doing a bit of art, helped designing a cake

This reminds me of Akkerman's Garuda Rood

I believe Garuda Rood is closer to the Document/Artist dark reds

Thanks. Took me some years of exploring to finally decide on Document Red as my standard. Visually, I like Skrip red, perhaps slightly better, but I always want a permanent ink. Their Document Blue is my go-to blue.

Most welcome. I yet have to find the perfect permanent red. I haven't.
