I still have not committed to a red ink yet. Out of the samples I have tried I think Diamine Red Dragon would be my bottle purchase. I do have to admit that I have not sampled Matador yet.

It was in this month's Goulet Pens Ink Drop. I figured I might as well try it out even though I have three other reds currently inked up. My favorite red is probably Diamine Oxblood, even though it's really dark. I like that I can write with it for pretty much anything without getting a headache.

Does it clean up easily?

I'm interested in that as well. I would put it in a vintage pen, so I wouldn't want a ink so rich that it would hurt the pen....

I haven't cleaned it out yet, but Oxblood tends to clean out easily, especially for a red.

I'll report back when I switch inks, although you might beat me to it.

I don't expect it to be some 4001 baby shampoo like ink (refering to how harmless Pelikan 4001 blue is), but I hope it isn't as wierd as Kelly Green, which I no longer put in vintage pens...

The only Diamine ink I had trouble cleaning was Ochre and it is the red component that will not come out easily. Diamine Red Dragon is easy to clean.

That's a shame, because it's a really really attractive ink... It'll be all I can do to stop myself from 'forgetting' to give my mother her present...

+1 on that. I just struggled to get it completely out of my Al-Star.

I think it may have contaminated the RnK Morinda I've put in my pen... I don't care, I'm gonna keep using it.

I didn't do it and I should have, but maybe try some of that JB's Perfect Pen Flush?

I've only heard good things about the stuff. I might just pick up some at philly...so that I can keep using my Diamine inks in vintage pens (I just stopped filling my vac with asa blue because it was staining too much--switched to 4001 blue and its really dry :()
