Extra Fine Nib Ink Review: Waterman Radiant Pink
This is review #233 in my series. Here's the YouTube video:
https://youtu.be/ipkMcVj4Ecs
Post-recording notes: This was from a short cartridge. It is indeed radiant, and leans purple. A very bright color, rather unlike Waterman. :) While there is technically shading, you really have to look for it.
Cleaning was quick and easy, but may require an extra flush or two of plain water - pink inks tend to cling a little. No rubbing or pen flush required, just water.
Other (Just a little doodle I made using this ink.)

Zoomed in photo (Fairly close. Might be lacking a little of the purple lean.)

Scan of Completed Review (Almost perfect. Go by the color in this one.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: It's darker in real life; CP: It doesn't look fuzzy-edged in real life, color is off a bit.)

Line width (One of the lines used for dry time. Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm. With 233 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.)

Microscope image (400x. There were several of these, otherwise the ink was boring. :) Color is very accurate.)
