Post-recording notes: This is a nice, cheery orange that is neither "in your face" nor burnt, nor pastel. I don't think there's sheen, but there is a sort of glittery look when the page is angled to the light. Perhaps a big wet nib would sheen... It does dry a little fast on the nib, so long pauses should be avoided.

Cleaning was quick and easy with plain water.

Zoomed in photo (Color is not quite right, but I'm having a hard time describing how.)

Screenshot (Not quite the right color, also seems a little muted / dull compared to reality.)

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: Ink is darker in real life. CP: Very close to what I see on the paper.)

Line width (The "I" in "Ink:". Magnification is 100x. The grid is 100x100µm. The scale is 330µm, with eleven divisions of 30µm each. The line width for this ink is roughly 300µm. With 284 inks measured, the average line width is 296µm.) (This may well give the best idea as to color, also, the sheeny/glittery bits can be seen here and there.)

Microscope image (100x. Random pink dots floating in orange and yellow. I think those brighter yellow dots might be the "glittery" sheen-like thing I see.)
