The Diamine Red Dragon Ink is blood red, and it looks like blood if it gets on your hands or when you clean the ink with a paper towels. I like this ink for everyday writing, because it is more readable than lighter colors of red. The Diamine Ink works well in all of the fountain pens that I own. I will definitely buy again.

I do a lot of medieval-style pen work, and I find this Diamine Red Dragon to be a gorgeous color for that application. It is not a bright or gaudy red, but rather a dark, rich red. But the thin I like best about II,is that it doesn’t write too wet, and therefore is quite resistant to feathering. My work requires nice clean strokes, and so far this ink gives me that. I was using Monteverdi Ruby for my reds, but it was quite runny and my text and decorative elements were not sharp due to the feathering. I was worried about the darker red color, but I find that I like it more than any other red I’ve used. I know that “color preference” is a subjective and personal criteria, but for me, this ink is really attractive for my applications.

This ink is beautiful. It's so warm and it flows so well I just keep writing and doodling. I used my dragon pen (perfectly) for this Red Dragon Ink. Outstanding.

the main reason i got this ink was the color and i am happy to say the red does not disappoint. the ink writes well on paper, and on my moleskine paper there's so little bleeding you have to hold it up to a light to really see it.the only downside is that it takes a second longer than i'd like to dry but since thats to be expected with ink anyway i don't mind, especially since it was so hard to find a color so close to what i wanted.i will also add a small warning for the red dragon color, if you get a large blotch somewhere or spill any it looks similar to blood, if you're very easily affected by the sight of blood either skip this or be very careful.

This Diamine Ink Brand is fantastic. I’ve tried the other brands and for the cost and quality, it is quite a bargain. They provide a great palette of colors to choose from to make your writing unique. Flows great from converter to nib without skipping or dry spots. Very satisfied with this Ink and this particular color. 5 Star

I love, love, love this ink. It’s a deep, rich, vibrant crimson and it’s gorgeous. When, I bought this, I thought it would be used just as an accent color in my journals. Nope. I use it as one of my main go-to inks. The color is dark enough that it can fill the page yet it still pops if that makes sense.I loaded this in a TWSBI Eco (med nib) and the flow is a nice wet that dries fast. No skipping.I’ll buy this again.

This ink is really beautiful --a deep, rich red. It is a wonderful shade of red that is not too garish or "retina-searing," so it works for an elegant piece of writing.The only drawback is that, like many red inks, this one has a tendency to gunk up your pen. If you let a pen sit with this ink for a long period without use, you'll see a bit of "crud" that gathers around the nib. So to combat that, you need to flush the pen more often than with less gunky inks. Still, I recommend it because the color is so warn and rich.

This ink is phenomenal. It lays down a saturated red that dries a little darker. It is more saturated and vibrant than a J. Herbin Rouge Opera and darker than a J. Herbin 1670 Hematite. There's not much shading or sheen in the Diamine Red Dragon ink, and it tends to run a bit wet, which I like. This ink has been in my rotation for about 6 months and is now a permanent resident in my Pilot Prera with Fine nib. There are absolutely no flow issues even in the Japanese fine nib, which tends to run closer to an Extra Fine by European maker standards (like Lamy). No staining of the converter, feed, or nib. No feathering or bleed through even on cheap printer paper. Highly recommended ink for anyone looking for a well-behaved, deep red ink without any fancy shading or sheen effects.I have used this ink in the following pens without any problems:Pilot Prera F, Bulow X750 M, TWSBI Mini 1.5mm stub, Merz and Krell Pelikan 120 EF
