Cayenne - Noodler's

Noodler's is one of the companies that don't need introductions. Nathan's Tardiff work is unimaginable. The guy must be a vampire who doesn't sleep and feeds on developing ideas: new inks, new pens.

Nooder's Cayenne displays a huge range of shade - from yellowish through brown around the deep orange base. The ink dries fairly quickly, between 20 and 30 seconds on Rhodia paper, it behaves well, and is well lubricated.

I like this one. Don't know that I will buy it, because I am not that much of an ink collector. But tempting.

Great shading, as you say. Reminiscent of Apache Sunset. Still, too staggering and voracious for me.

I've seen this ink in person, and I think it looks like blood. (I don't know about yours, but that's what mine looks like on tissues - complete with the lighter yellow shades of the plasma) Other inks that people nominate for their similarity to blood are simply too dark (e.g. Red dragon, Rouge Haematite 1670, Antietam, Oxblood), and approximate dried blood more than fresh blood.

All the morbidity and body-fluids aside, it's a beautiful shading ink, and I think your review showcased it well! Thank you!

PS: The splash, of course, isn't blood at all. But the writing samples, or simply the ink on the cap in the pictures, do look quite like fresh blood. Speak of Mr. Tardif being a "Vampire!"

His BERNing Red ink today, too, elicited quite a hearty laugh from me. Regardless of wether you like Bernie or hate Bernie, you 'gotta love Mr. Tardif's wit!

Great review, thanks!

I love the color of the Cayenne with your pen. (especially the zoom in part of the writing sample) I tried it before several months ago, but the nib wasn't wet enough I guess. After seeing this, I am going to try it again in a much wetter nib. :)

Love this one. Beautiful well behaved ink that has a great amount of shading. I usually keep Cayenne, Habanero, Apache Sunset and Antietam in use.

For long time Cayenne was my favourite orange-red or rather red-orange. I used to use it for text corrections and editing quite a bit. This ink feels really spicy. Looks great on white and toned paper (I prefer). It has interesting 'oily' feel as few other Noodler's inks. The only problem I found for using it on daily basis was slowish drying time and the fact that even if it dries it was easy to smudge it accidentally (mostly on smooth paper like Midori). Other than that - amazing devilish colour. Wet looks very disturbing. I remember when I cleaned my pen working in the lab and I thrown away the tissue with residual stains...I was asked by safety officer later to not doing it again...they had serious concerns :)

Forbidden to use for marking student's exams too...red in general may upset 'adult' students....ehhh

 

To contribute a little to this thread, here are some pictures of my tests I did some time ago. More you may find here on my blog. Enjoy.

Thank you for bringing this beautiful ink to our attention! I like it a lot, even the label is aesthetically pleasing to me.

 

Clumsy Penman: that orange-red writing is gorgeous, as is the ink swirl photograph.

I quite liked this one but I think Habanero pips it to the post.

 

 

Any possibility of a comparison pic?

This ink reminds me too much of ketchup, I'm afraid :sick:

It tastes different than ketchup.

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
