It's red, but not very dark. The scanner hates this color - renders it hot pink. There's only a tiny bit of sheen in the writing, and you have to go looking for it, but there was sheen on the slide, so a very wet pen and good paper will likely show sheen.... But... On Friday, I was thinking the ink was looking rather orange in my Hobonichi. Turns out, it was the sheen. So maybe with a little time (and perhaps a little evaporation?) the sheen will show through more. The 10-second mark smeared a tiny bit, but the 8 and 6 didn't. I went with 11 seconds for the dry time, but most of your strokes will dry around 5 seconds. Cleaning was quick and easy, but this ink really likes to stain your fingers hot pink. Zoomed in photo (Fairly close, but one monitor makes it look too orange and the other too saturated.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Screenshot (Too dark, but otherwise close.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Scan of Completed Review (The scanner rendered this a dark, saturated, red, which it isn't... I've corrected it as well as I can, but it's not right - too pink, I think.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (Same as the zoom, slightly too orange on one monitor, too saturated on the other.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Line width (The "I" in "Ink:". Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 360µm, with twelve divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 338µm. With 321 inks measured, the average line width is 297µm.) (You can see a little of the sheen in this image.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Microscope image (100x. Should be more pink, especially at lower left.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E... Microscope image (100x. Image on the left should be bubblegum pink and more saturated. On the right is the edge of the cover slip. Colors not vibrant enough. I'm sure the yellow parts would be the gold sheen.) http://www.paradoxcommunity.com/vps/E...
