Today’s ink is Teranishi Modern Red from the Guitar Series. You can find this ink for sale at some retailers including Vanness Pens. Thanks to the reader who sent this ink in for review!

The color:

Modern Red is an unsaturated medium 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 the ink 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, as well as on cheap copy paper.

*For my writing samples I use:

Dry time: 30 seconds

Water resistance: Low

Feathering: None

Show through: Medium

Bleeding: None

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

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

Modern Red is less saturated than J Herbin Rouge Great. Click here to see the red inks together.

Longer Writing:

I used a Sailor Pro Gear Slim Supernova Red with a broad nib on a Taroko Enigma notebook. The ink has an average flow.

Overall, I love this color! This may actually be one of my new favorite red inks. Not only is it a great color but it’s well behaved and has some nice shading.
