Here is a brief review of Noodler's Dragon Napalm.
My scanner couldn't capture the colour correctly so I used a camera instead, hope it helps!



If the image doesn't show up, right-click the red x and select "show picture."

I can't see the image, and it's not clear where one should right click.

I'd love to see more scans of this. Elaine's initial scan pre-release wooed a lot of us, but then subsequent reviews showed it as a peachy vermillion.

Waaah, waaahh, we want scary fiery mercurichrome!!! Not burning flesh. (okay, bad joke, but so is the ink name.)

Nice color! I'd love to see a comparison scan with some other inks.

Dragon's Napalm makes an eye-catching highlighting ink in a Preppy highlighter.

Napalm in my Pilot 78G B (stub) is a rather nice bright red. Believe I shook well.

Did get the wonderful mercurichrome effect when taking off the lid. Flipped it all over the white kitchen counter, stove, my fingers. Cleaned up well, even the spots I found a couple days later. Well, the fingers did look pretty kid like till I got a shower.

Not coming out of the pen exactly as expected. Guess I thought it would be more like a redder Apache Sunset, that is, more shading. Maybe be different in a different pen.

Napalm and Baystate Blue on the same page wake you up from the winter blahs. A Good Thing.

I was recently sent a bottle. Unfortunately, it comes out a bright flamingo pink, with no hint of orange. Perhaps the bottle needs agitation ...

I just got mine from Swisher and tried it in a Safari 1.5 nib. It looks very similar to Apache Sunset....Napalm a bit brighter, and along with Baystate Blue are truly VIVID! I was a little disappointed because I thought the Napalm would offer more shading.....but not so far.
