Y'all crack me up! Great review and an incredibly fun thread. I'm glad I decided to read this.

 

I love the shading in this ink. If I was still teaching, I'd use it to correct papers! :)

 

Thanks for the review!

This is a fun ink, especially so because it's clear in the bottle. Does anyone have problems with drying times? I find that the ink smears even days later.....

I just checked my review page and tried to rub a few heavily-shaded words to see if they'd smear but I couldn't get anything to budge. But I will tell you that I did have to blot the Brause sample because it still was tacky after two hours of drying (gotta keep the scanner clean :) ). I just stuck a square of toilet paper over it and rubbed several times, which fixed it.

and that is why in my profile I state my favourite paper as: Toilet paper! (Bunch of of other reasons too BUT we won't go into that!)

I love orange inks, and this shading is incredible. I wonder how it compares to Caran d'Ache Saffron.

Habanero will be part of my next order. :D

 

I loved the flex pen "Apache", so here's a closer look.

Use...for the fun of it, like any orange* ink.

 

After all, what use is a green, pink, brown, purple,or turquoise ink but for the fun of it.

 

I'd ordered a bottle from Guelet on the night before I left to Virginia and it was there at 18:00 the next day.

 

I did not do a paper and nib survey with the ink, in I had only four pens with me. With my italic Joy, I got lots of shading, but with my easy full flex Degussa nib, it was just orange on Oxford Optic.

 

As soon as I get around to it, I'll give it a test on more nibs and papers.

 

* I have some late '80s-early '90s Pelikan Orange in cartridges. A real fine orange ink. I wonder why they didn't bring that back out as reissue. Up to then I was not a fan of orange inks. Now I am.

I have to agree with those complaining how dry this ink is. I have to drag my pen nib across the page and beg the ink to appear. maybe with a wet writer...

Every one complaining about the draggy feeling, never mentioned what papers it was draggy on.

 

Please mention the offending papers.

So I can avoid those papers.

My HP 24lb Inkjet papers also has a strange draggy feeling, though it otherwise performs decently. In contrast the HP Laserjet papers are a smooth as Rhodia of Clairfontaine.

I just bought this ink. Was a little disappointed. Was hoping for that nice orange-y color, but ended up being a VERY light yellow in a Safari Lami EF nib. Anybody else have this experience? I've gotten bad ink from Noodlers before. At least three or four other occasions.

      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
