The pen world seems to have two categories of inks: The tried and true that have been around forever, like Waterman Serenity Blue, and the fashion-forward inks, colourful sometimes with some sparkle that add some flair to your page. And with new inks constantly appearing, unfortunately, sometimes your favourite ink gets discontinued.
While I am not a teacher who uses red to grade papers, and I don’t work in a typical office where red ink might come in handy, I do find myself reaching for a pen filled with red ink, frequently. And, this past August my go-to red ink, Ferris Wheel Press Algonquin Maple (see image below), that I use for highlighting important events and appointments in my daytimer and adding a bright splash of colour to my sketches, was discontinued.
So, I am now on the hunt for a comparable red ink.
