De Atramentis — Document Red Grey Ink Review # 84 Originally posted on FPN: Sep 20, 2023 Ink: Red Grey Series: Document Brand: De Atramentis Country: Germany Type: Pigment ink Availability: 45 ml bottles. Pens Used: Pilot Kakuno EF, Lamy Safari (EF/F/M/B/stub 1.1), Osmiroid Copperplate nib Description I really enjoyed using this ink. It’s an improved version of Noodler’s Red-Black with the added benefit of being fully waterproof. It’s a wet and well-lubricated ink. However, when I reached the cleaning part, it was not as straightforward as I thought. The ink stained my Lamy converter, and after soaking it for a few hours in water to no avail, I had to dunk it in my trusty Monteverde cleaning solution; problem solved. Ironically, it didn't stain the Pilot CON-40 nor the cheap no-name Chinese convertor. This is not a deal-breaker for me if I really like the ink. It also doesn't like copy paper. Note on pigmen...
