Omas Amerigo Vespucci ink availability
I second the request. I had always heard of it, but never bought it.
I since heard somewhere that it was discontinued. .. Most reds are too orangey for me. Best found so far, without the clotting problems, have been Private Reserve Fiesta Red, and Pelikan Brilliant red. The Private Reserve does have a nice variation in shades on the up and down strokes. |

Omas Amerigo Vespucci ink availability
I submit a correction to the two brands I recommended. The Pelikan red
is not "brilliant" - ore orange. I just had forgotten that I mixed into the bottle a few drops of dark blue to deepen its hue. Sorry 'bout that. The Private Reserve is still nice. Another nice deep red is Levenger's Cardinal Red -- But like more than half of their colors, the pigmentation is so dense that it tends to clog any fine points and all but the most generous of ink flow pens. So, so far, it's only Private Reserve that I can recommend on its own. Even that, not that great in shade. I wish I had had a chance to try Omas before it disappeared. Meantime, for colors, I have switched to variations on purple and green, of which there are many shades of each. |
