Post-recording notes: This is a nice bright red. It darkens a little as it dries. As the remnants washed down the sink, I saw both pink and orange - which seems unusual. Overall, the ink sort of reminds me of a strawberry - when wet, like the inside (paler); when dry, like the outside (darker).

Squeaks are poor Smoke being denied access to Meowmy. Bangs, thumps and crashes are Smoke and Klaw protesting Meowmy's unapproved behavior.

Cleaning was quick and easy.

Absorbent Paper Close-up (top is puzzle paper like thick newsprint, bottom is old 20lb copy paper) (AP: too light; CP: too light, too orange.)

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 301µm. With 297 inks measured, the average line width is 297µm.) (You can see the gold sheen a little.)
