J Herbin’s Rouge Caroubier is a pretty pretty red. I’ve found J Herbin inks to generally be just a tad bit on the dry side.

INK SWAB 203: De Atramentis Dante Alighieri
This is one of those rare inks – I’ve never used it and I don’t even remember seeing it in my collection. I Googled to see if it ‘s still available (it is!) and what people think of it (it seems to be well-liked!).
Have you tried it? I’d love to hear more about it!
Have a very happy Labor Day if you’re in the US. I leave tomorrow to visit my sister while Mr. Pentulant and his mom hold down the fort here.

INK SWAB: 166/365 – Platinum Mix-Free Flame Red
If my memory is serving me well today, this ink isn’t quite as in-your-face as the swab would have you believe.
That is definitely one of the troubles with ink swabs: the color is sometimes more saturated in a swab than it will be out of a pen. Of course, there is also the trouble of different scanners, monitors, and computers. Perhaps a topic for another day, hm?
INK SWAB: 155/365 – Sailor Kobe Ooji Cherry #30
Phew, I love this ink. I’ve used it a bunch, but haven’t gotten around to reviewing it yet. It’s a good one. The swab is a bit more bright than the color out of the pen. The color reminds me perfectly of cherry blossoms. Yum.
INK SWAB: 151/365 – Rohrer & Klingner Fernambuk
I’ve not delved too deeply into Rohrer & Klingner inks, but I do like the way most of them look. Fernambuk is no exception – looks like there is a good potential for shading, too.
Have you tried this one? Are you a fan of R&K inks?
