What's new

What's your red?

Had a few papers to grade this evening so I loaded up a pen with red.
What's your preferred red?

Parker Quink. It's nice and bright -- I can always add a drop of black if I want a darker shade.
 
The only red I have is a few cartridges of Visconti (in a cool bakelite container). I do like it, though.

Noodler's Tianammen. Love this red.

This is my current go-to red. I also have the British Empire Red waiting in the wings, and have a certain fondness for Nikita as well.

Of course, knowing the "honesty" of the average student, I'd be inclined to mark with a forgery-proof ink. :001_unsur
 
Hi Allen:

I recently obtained a bottle of Noodler's Antitiem Red Ink based on swabs and comments I saw on FPN. Apparently Nathan developed this ink in honor of those who lost their lives in this horrendous battle.

I REALLY LIKE this ink. It's also a real departure from my normal 'every color of blue imaginable' ink preference.

My favorite red is Pelikan Edelstein Garnet, but I've never been able to obtain a bottle of it, only a sample. My favorite that I can find is Noodler's Antietam. Come to think of it, as much as I like red inks, I haven't tried many red inks that I like.
 
Noodler's Red Rattler Eel. I also have Nostalgic Impressions Dark Red (not dark & very thin/watery). The Rattler is pretty good, but doesn't trip my trigger. Antietam seems to be very popular, may have to get a bottle.
 
I like Diamine Wild Strawberry, very bright and in your face. Oxblood is nice too, in a juicy stub. The Noodlers reds look great, but i haven't been able to try them yet.
