Review: Stipula Calamo Florentine Red @AndersonPens @Stipula_1948

This perfect red came over from the ink corner of Anderson Pens! I really don't know how I've not heard of it before or why it doesn't get more press because it's pretty great - a very nice red that behaves very well. Nothing to complain about here.

OVERALL

This is a surprisingly nice ink! Why is this ink not all over the place?? It's a pretty ideal red ink - well behaved, easy to clean (reds can be notoriously difficult to clean), good saturation and flow, dries decently, no feathering, decent shading. It's not a crazy mind-blowing red like J. Herbin's Rouge Hematite, but it's not going to be a pain in the neck either. You get a nice big bottle for $19.00, so give it a whirl. Lots to share, or just use up by yourself. The only downside is it's not water resistant. But most inks aren't.
