The name for this ink is perfect. It is exactly the color of the habanero peppers on my habanero plant outside. It seems to be a very well behaved ink and doesn't feather at all on this paper (cheap walmart notebook) and hasn't bled through. It is smooth flowing and lubricates well, but not a slippery as an eel ink. It is part of the standard series and is not waterproof, but it was not intended to be waterproof. What I am amazed with is the amount of shading... wow! I never would have thought that an orange ink could be so pretty and dramatic, but this one is. I'm not entirely sure on what to use a bright orange ink.... but I had to have this one.

That is just drop dead gorgeous! I am also amazed at the way the tops of letters are yellow and it revs into a beautiful orange.

One of my favorites - I always have at least one pen filled with Habanero.

 

A good Autumn color and I use it for mark-ups, corrections, editing and marginal notations. It has plenty of 'pop' and it is indeed a pleasure to use. The shading is outstanding - if you happen to have a pen with a generously flowing broad italic nib, give this ink a whirl. You'll be looking for reasons to write things down.

I may have to give this one a shot sometime. It looks very much like Diamine's Blaze Orange, which is a staple of mine.

What a wonderful looking ink.

I didn't realise that I needed an orange ink until seeing your review.

I didn't LIKE orange ink until my mum got a bottle of this stuff for <$5 when she was in Seattle. It's now in my rather orange Bexley Submariner Grande (with a steel nib). Perfect match, and despite the Fine nib, it shades wonderfully.

 

It also dries to become quite dark, and legible, so I use it to take notes in class. A little bit of BAM never hurts. :thumbup:

      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
