Just put this in my pineider avatar TTT and it's writing smoothly. Nice bright, clear red which is what I was looking for. Won't order a small bottle again though - filling a vac pen from a full tall narrow bottle with a very small opening could have gone wrong in oh so many ways. Guess I'll put the rest in the pen filler!

A very nice and pretty red. It's quite bright and leans more towards the orange side, but still amazing.

Just what I wanted. A real bright solid red that I can write with or use for correction.

A vibrant red. It also has good flow.

If you’re looking for a Ink that works well in a pen specifically for grading papers, this is the Ink for you. Currently it’s loaded in my Jinhao 10 vanishing point, and is always ready to mark a paper.

It’s secondary purpose, marking gift tags for Christmas presents. It’s red ink really pops. If you’re looking for a red ink, this is a good one.

I was looking for a nice vibrant red ink. Not one that dulls as it dries, but rather stays that nice bright red color. This one satisfied that need.

Eye popping red. DO NOT USE WHEN MARKING PAPERS. That's just cruel.

I was looking for a red ink to use in my fountain pen. I've been using a Pilot G2 gel pen for when I want a red ink and wanted to use a fountain pen instead. The Diamine Poppy Red fit the need. It flows well in my Metropolitan and looks wonderful.

This red is a chameleon. Fresh on paper it is quite red, and aged after days it mellows into a near Rouge. Hit it with water and the line returns to red and the paper becomes a faint red without loosing legibility. Flow is consistent, drying on paper is quick enough even for an over the top writing left handed. Capped for days and the line start immediately. Who doesn't like red and this is a great one.

I have been looking for a nice red colored ink and this one is perfect. I will be using it to write my Christmas cards this year. Very happy with this purchase. I have been using fountain pens since grade school but I never got into the 'details' on inks so I can only say I like the color and it does not take long to dry which is nice because I am left handed.

This red really pops! Well-behaved too (not too wet or too dry, low smudging). Goes perfectly with my Pilot Falcon in red :)

I purchased this Diamide Red Poppy and a Diamide Wild Strawberry because they both looked real nice on the site and I could not decide between the two. This is the ink that I like of the two best. It is a vibrant red and it flows pretty good but takes a while to dry. The color is great and is a great choice for a standard red ink.

The red is vibrant and smooth. It drys relatively quickly.

I was looking for a Red ink to use in my pens, and this does the trick. It's very similar to the stark bright red you'd get out of a Pilot G2 , but can be a little darker. Pairs great with a TWSBI Eco Fine, and for those that are Halloween minded it looks like a blood sample.

It's a smooth wet writer that writes well in my fine nibbed pen.

I put this in my Devil Red Avata....Very red very pretty.Dries nicely and smooth flowing.

If you're in the legal/publishing/academic fields, this color red is nearly an identical match to most red ink mark-up pens and sets in about 15 seconds. The bottle looks good, too. Recommend getting a snorkel attachment for your converter when the bottle gets low to grab those last drops.

Love the color I find it hard to find a good red

Nice and bright, flows smooth and stands out sharp for editing a manuscript - make that sucker bleed!

I have 3 other reds but this the true red.

I had been looking for a clear red ink for a while. I finally decided that Diamine Poppy Red was it. It arrived quickly. I inked up a pen right away, and started writing. It was perfect -- just what I'd been looking for.

I was looking for a red ink that would look cool in my Ahab demonstrator, and this did the trick. Flows nicely with the Flex Nib, giving a very bright saturated color. However, the same ink in my Pilot Metro. fine nib, looks dull and faded. Seems that this ink favors a wet pen. Also, don't get it on your fingers, it is hard to come off. But I cant say it enough, I love it in my Ahab Flex.

I bought this ink to use for editing so I wanted a red that was easy to see an didn't bleed through the page. It works perfectly and I will definitely buy it again.

I bought the Diamine Poppy Red about a month ago along with a TWSBI Eco, with the intention of using them to red line student drawings and work. The Eco works great and the Poppy Red ink is perfect for the job of grading and red lining. It's easy to read and can not be confused for a standard writing ink. I've never had a flow issue. It works well on a variety of cheap papers and in a fairly wide temperature range. once it is dry the ink doesn't seem to smear. My students seem to be paying more attention to the notes left in the wake of a grading period than they used to. I will be purchasing this ink again.

Bought this because I needed something other than blue and black. This color really sticks out. It is a true red. It lays on really nicely with my Vista in EF.

I bought this ink a few weeks ago for use in two pens, a Noodler Konrad and a Pilot Metropolitan. I mark up a lot of documents with edits, and I wanted a vivid, red ink. The color here is amazing, bright and consistent, with a little manageable bleed-through on the cheap paper we use at my office. Little shading to speak of, which is ideal for my purposes. FWIW I prefer it in the Pilot with a fine nib.

This is a quite bright red. Probably wouldn't recommend it for drafting entire documents. However, if you are doing document review and editing, this one leaps off the page. You simply cannot miss it on the page.

And this puts down a true red line, unlike many that seem to have an orange tint.

I am partial to Diamine inks but this is a red I can use. Not as harshly brilliant as the Shaeffer red it is a pleasant ink to use. It flows very well an dries quickly. It seems to easy cleaning (off my fingers) and I really like it.

Good saturation. Good flow. Good value. What else do I need to say?

This is the perfect color for grading & commenting on student papers; so much so I rather enjoy writing with it in general. It flows smoothly with no skips and doesn't bleed except on the coarsest notebook paper.
