The full review with pictures can be found here at my Blog!

 

Noodlers Cayenne is a beautiful orange-red with excellent shading and good dry time. I like to use it for everyday writing though for business writing it may not be appropriate in some situations.

 

Smear when dry: No

Lubrication: Not excellent but it's not bad either. It's certainly less than my Diamine inks though

Shading: Very nice in my broad stub nib

Bleed-through: none on my good paper

Need a pen repaired or a nib re-ground? I'd love to help you out.

I've had Noodler's Cayenne for about two years now. I love the color, but I do find that, after a few days, the ink loses some of its brightness. Has anybody else found that to be true?

 

Thanks for the great writing sample!

A very nice color that I'm looking forward to trying. Thanks for a great review!

You're most welcome! I hope you get to try it soon!

Yes, I've found this to be somewhat true for me, though in my case not after a few days but right after it dries. It goes on very bright and reddish but dries a little more understated and orange. Still a lovely color and you're most welcome for the writing sample!

You're quite right - They do look very similar to each other. I think Cayenne is just a bit more vibrant than the Antietam. Might just be me though...

Having worked with both, in the same environment (same pen, same paper) I find that the Antietam goes more to brown, while the Cayenne maintains it's "redness." I love Cayenne for mark-up, notes (to self and others) and non-formal correspondence.

One of my favorite inks. I haven't noticed what it does after a few days, but I do find that it's the ink that catches my eye long after I've written something. As in "that's pretty, I wonder which ink that was? Oh right, Cayenne."

Yes, I love looking back through old notebooks of mine and seeing this color in them. It really stands out and shines!

I LOVE this ink. It is more orange than Antietam. Cayenne is one of my favorites.

Yup, one of my favorites too! I love the orange tints to it. It really does look like a cayenne pepper.

 

Thank you! This review was very helpful to me.

You're most welcome! I'm glad it was so helpful to you. :)

Strange how tastes vary. I think that its an awful color. Good review.

Just to add to the review: this ink seemed a lot drier than the usual Noodler's wet inks and I actually like it. It is not wet but it is smooth and flows well. So, no technical issues there in terms of functionality.

 

I am just a little disappointed that the color wasn't as high contrast as the samples I saw on websites. Probably, the closest thing that can describe its color would be blood. Yes, it looked more like partially de-oxygenated blood from veins. Now, you can say:"My writings are written in blood." :wacko:

 

Incidentally, is Sheaffer Red "louder" than Cayenne?

What about Diamine Passion Red ?

 

Thanks!

I love the color of this ink but I also find it dry and I don't like that. I put it in a broad nib pen and was happier, though.

      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
