Post-recording notes: Cleaning was easy but did take a few extra flushes - very saturated color. Depending on the wetness of the ink, this may look like an orange brown (wetter) or a brown orange (drier). It's like a cross between Autumn Oak and Oxblood. Oddly, Van Dieman's Sweetheart Cherry seems very similar, just much paler. Whatever the color, I really like it, and I enjoyed this ink in the pen.
What can I say, I liked the microscope images, so I included three. :)
Erratum: Accidentally labeled the quote as "Writing Prompt". :)
Zoomed in photo (Text may be a little lighter than what I see, but the color is good.)

Screenshot (Also not quite as orange as real life - a little too red, I think.)

Scan of Completed Review (Came out way too red. I was able to correct it a little, but it's still less orange than it should be.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: Reality looks flatter in color and more brown; CP: Very close)
