Your scan looks darker than my bottle of Shoreline Gold. Actually it looks more like PR's Orange Crush. Probably the nib--I tend to use fines. The Diamine and Noodler's comparison really helps to highlight the differences in the inks.

 

Thanks for the review!

Thanks for such a comprehensive and easy to look at review. Your handwriting is enviable! I've been branching out from more conservative inks--maybe I'll give this one a go as a fun summertime color.

hi signum1.

i'm with PTR on this one... it does appear darker on my screen than what it really is (could be the nib or the scan). the only pen i have inked with this is my piston filler wality with a fine point. i think this ink is better appreciated with a broad nib like yours.

 

like everyone said... love your handwriting. thanx for the review!

I just bought a bottle of this ink last Friday from Origami Ink in Asheville for my yellow-orange Lepine Indigo Murano and I love it. I have to agree with PenTieRun though as your sample (as it shows up on my monitor) looks very similar to my PR Orange Crush. I love them both though. Thanks for the review.

Great review. The comparisons are very helpful since I have Apache Sunset.

 

Still can't type.

i have both and Apache Sunset comes out a winner (IMO). i love the shading on the Noodlers AS more than the PR-SG.

Ah yes...this ink review is a little over one year old. Yet, it is still well loved by FPN members and all the shy lurkers too. :)

 

For those who chimed in with their thoughts, you're very welcome and thank you. :)

Hi,

 

Nice stuff.

 

PRSG is my favourite 'dirty yellow', that actually can stand on its own on the page - a crisp white page though. I found that even on the least bit tinted or off-white paper, this ink can fade-out. And forget Fine/narrow nibs, a Medium at least; a plump squishy Pelikan really suits it, though your hand makes me think about using a CI. Hmm...

 

Also, I found this ink can get a bit weak in the knees under warm tungsten lighting, so I often firm it up with maybe 5% Visconti Bordeaux or the neat-o R&K Alt Bordeaux.

 

Bye,

S1

I've been on an orange ink kick lately. This looks like it would be a great addition to the collection - I really like the shading that it looks like you can get from this.

Hi,

The shading is very nice, and rather unexpected from Private Reserve : too many of their other inks that I've used had OTT saturation.

If you're the least bit mix-minded, try 9 parts SG + 1 Part R&K Alt Bordeaux ; OR 9 SG + 1 Visconti Bordeaux.

Bye,

S1

 

PRSG solo; and 2 mixes mentioned above.

ah, I happen to be using Shoreline Gold right now. The shading was unexpected but is, of course, entirely delightful.

This is my only non-blue/black/green ink other than a bottle of Private Reserve Dakota Red and one of Diamine Saddle Brown, and I quite like it. It's got the cojones to stand up to regular use.

Too many pens; too many inks. But at least I've emptied two ink bottles now.

      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
