Another bright orange. I've picked up a few lately. This one really does remind me of mandarin oranges. Flow is wet. Has a traditional feel. A bit like an Iroshizuku ink, which I guess is appropriate considering both their premium placements.

 

Honestly, I like Yu yake better for flow. Operation Overlord Orange has more water resistance. And I'm a big fan of Apache Sunset with more shading. That's my personal preference. But I do like all of these oranges color-wise.

I'm a little iffy on this color. I doubt it will be fade resistant at all. (Please send me a written sample so I can include it in next year's fade test). If you really want an eye popping ink..... Akkerman!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

It's a nice bright orange, but it did not play well for me in a flex nib.

Diamine Blaze Orange is another choice for some more pop (it even has a little fade resistance), J Herbin Orange Indien for delicate elegance.

 

But back to the ink in question: I really like the colour; I just can't think of any use for it.... :unsure:

I really want to try out Orange Indien. It's on my shortlist (which admittedly is a little long to be called a 'short' list)

:lol: Know that feeling. I think my short list is the list of inks I know I do not want to get :)

Right now, Akkerman inks can be had at Vaness Pens, and a few other retailers. Otherwise, you have to get in on a Group buy.

Out of my six Edelstein inks this is the most fade resistant. A bit surprising.

Really? That's cool. The MB oranges have held up better in my tests than the Diamine oranges. Edelstein Tourmaline is a super fader.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
