Re: guess the ink!
Interesting. Poppy Red was one I had considered but all the sample images I could find had it looking too uniform in it’s saturation.

Re: guess the ink!
You are right it is normally very uniform in tone and shades only very little.
I gave my best to get as much contrast from the ink as possible for the sketch by going over it several times to get at least some darks.
So itˋs not an ideal ink for sketching to get easily your dark tones.
On the other side it plays well with water and light tones are not a problem (which appear quite pinkish).
Re: guess the ink!
Sorry. I wasn't aware it was one ink at a time
I'll post mine, hopefully easier tomorrow :-)

A: It can be.
M: No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.
A: No it isn't.
M: Yes it is! It's not just contradiction.
A: Look, if I argue with you, I must take up a contrary position.
M: Yes, but that's not just saying 'No it isn't.'
A: Yes it is!

Re: guess the ink!
After some adventures, I had to change my mystery ink to a bright orange.
I would try to write another text, later with a medium nib.
The ink is in cartridge form.
The first image is scan, which almost turns the orange into red, the second is a photo.
Good luck....

Re: guess the ink!
Well known scanner problem, orange inks almost always are not correct shown in scans (at least my experience with the scanners I have available).
So (despite I own a scanner) I always take photos instead of scanning samples.
What about J.Herbin Orange Indien?
Re: guess the ink!
Nope. It's not a Herbin ink :-)
With a medium nib it's almost like the colour of oranges
Re: guess the ink!
See if this photo helps better. For some reason Noodler's Apache Sunset feathered on Rhodia.
The text is in medium Jinhao nib, all but the last line, which is in a fude nib....
