19079 Empire Red

The red is deep and bold, almost like dried blood, and it dried water-resistant on my test page within seconds. I’ve been using it for journaling and the archival quality gives me peace of mind that my notes will actually last.

I was a little skeptical about the "bulletproof" label, but after leaving it in a wet pen for a few days, the color stayed true and didn't smear. Three ounces feels generous, and the red itself is a rich, classic shade that dries nicely. Perfect for signing important documents without worrying about

That bulletproof claim isn't marketing fluff—I scribbled a test line, ran it under the tap, and it didn't budge. The red itself is a deep, classic crimson that dries with a rich, almost vintage feel on good paper.
