Ink Review #2634: Private Reserve Infinity Red

Private Reserve Infinity Red is from the Infinity collection. You can find this ink for sale at most retailers including Vanness Pens.

The color:

Private Reserve Infinity Red is a bright teacher red.

*For my swab cards I use a Col-o-ring by Skylab Letterpress, a medium Pilot Ishime and a Mabie Todd Swan.

Swabs:

In large swabs on Tomoe River paper it has a little bit of shading.

Writing samples:

Let's take a look at how the ink behaves on fountain pen friendly papers: Rhodia, Tomoe River, and Leuchtturm.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 60 seconds

Water resistance: Medium

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

Other properties: low shading, no sheen, and no shimmer.

On 20 lb copy paper the ink had some feathering and some bleeding in the larger nib sizes.

Comparison Swabs:

Infinity Red is closest to Monteverde Valentine Red. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a TWSBI Eco Blossom Red with a medium nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I could go either way with this ink. It’s fine but not great. It’s supposed to be able to flow even if you leave the cap off for a while, but I didn’t notice that it flowed any better than the average ink.
