Ink on Cheap Paper #56, Diamine Matador

Diamine Matador is a dark red ink from the standard ink series. Reviews for this ink can be found at Mountain of Ink and Fountain Pen Network (review 1 & review 2). These samples were written with a Jinhao 82 with an extra fine nib.

As an additional note, the Small Legal Pad brand has changed to AMPAD EVIDENCE which seems to be even cheaper than the unbranded AMPAD. To account for this, a bleedthrough indicator will be identified for the small legal pad TLDR and on the page itself.
