Caran d'Ache Divine Pink
And here it is. The last of the Caran d'Ache inks. Divine Pink is much more of a red than it is a pink, I think. Magenta, maybe? Either way, it's a nicely saturated ink that flows really well. No hard...

I didn't have a whole lot to say about this ink. It's a fine turquoise, but it's also a really average turquoise. I only had one cartridge of this ink, and it was in that Kaweco for so long that I...

This one is the Anderson's favorite ink (or it was when I asked). It's a nice color, I think. Robin's Egg is a sort of a dark turquoise that tends to shade a little bit. The swatch above was taken...
