Ink Shot Review: Franklin-Christoph Urushi Red @1901FC

Thanks to Franklin-Christoph for sending this gorgeous ink for a review!

ABOUT

Color: Red
Bottle: 60 ml
Price: $12.50 USD
Where to buy: Franklin-Christoph

PROS

• Large, easy to fill from bottle - easily accommodates larger nibs/sections.
• Gorgeous deep red. 
• Work appropriate.
• Not just work appropriate, also very fun! Lovely color.
• Shades well.
• Pretty easy to clean.
• Has a dark sheen!
• Also available in eyedropper bottle.

CONS

• Only available at Franklin-Christoph! I guess that's not a huge deal...
• Low water resistance.
• If the traditional bottle gets sloshed around, ink can get into the threads of the cap, and then transfer to the threads on the mouth of the bottle, and it can cause very minor ink leakage. Try to keep the bottle steady. I occasionally clean out the threads (I also have to do this for other ink bottles, so it's not exclusive to these, but it is something to be aware of). 

OVERALL

Another hit from Franklin-Christoph! Great red that makes me think of Urushi fountain pens. Delicious. Again, I don't see this one often enough so I'm happy to share it with you here. $12.50 for 60 ml of this, in a glass bottle (if you opt for the traditional bottle) is a great price for a well-behaved, good looking ink.
