    I have always liked the reviews. It has never occurred to me to question whether they are biased. I mean, why would they be? I think there have been some where even Chrissy said she did not like the color or the properties. I can't remember. Really, for me, it's a matter of whether I like the color or not. If I do, I buy my own sample for $1.25. If not, I don't. I might end up buying a bottle of ink. The only other ink reviews I look at regularly are the ones on FPN by Vis. I think his and Chrissy's are of the same quality and usefulness. I appreciate both of them for taking the time to do them.

    Well put. I like Sandy's reviews at FPN too. Very thorough.

    Me, too.

    I have always appreciated Chrissy's fair-minded reviews and her level-headed contributions to this forum. I've learned a lot from her posts here and will continue to look forward to them.

    Having stayed away from this forum for various reasons, I would like to add that this review is the very type of content that makes me sad that I have. The rest of the nonsense associated with it - does not.

    Thanks Chrissy for taking the time and effort to provide a thoughtful and comprehensive review.

    Thanks Chrissy. Great review. I didn't know about this particular in "Flowers" gift set. The complete set is now on it's way down under.....with the added bonus of being VAT free

    Chrissy, I take issue with your reviews for another reason: my budget can't handle it! In all seriousness, I really to appreciate them. How would I have known that I need Poppy (or maybe Tulip?) if you hadn't taken the time to share your review?

    People don't get worked up by ink reviews. Trolls do.
    Cowards, do.

    I am a big fan of Diamine myself, their excellent behaviour and beautiful colours- I am not paid by them, unfortunatly, seing how much I spend buying their inks.

    Thank you Chrissy, once again for this excellent review, which helps tell: no, this red is not for me.

    If you only have one Diamine red ink in your collection then I suggest you might look at Red Dragon.

    Thank you, Chrissy.

    I actually have been lurking on that one.

    I have Passion Red - its a very nice, not too bright red, when using fine nibs.

    I'm not 100% sure whether I have Passion Red or not. I would need to check.
