Noodler's Operation Overlord Orange

[nomadhacker]

 

 

Part of the v-mail series of inks. They are reproductions or recreations of vintage ink formulas from the 1940s. All named after aspects of that really big thing that happened in the 1940s.

 

This is a nice orange color. Doesn't have the shading of Apache Sunset. But it did indeed have some fairly impressive water resistance for an orange ink. Dry time was nice. Felt a little thinner than Apache Sunset. Not as bold as Edelstein Mandarin or Organics Studio's Neon.

 

Could be too light for a lot of uses, but then, you wouldn't use orange ink in business situations anyway, would you?

 

edit:

Also my first review trying out Staples Sustainable Earth sugarcane based paper. Not bad. Got a spiral notebook of this with perforated edges. Not bad for feathering and shading on inks. Doesn't have serious bleedthrough issues. Paper is thinner, which is nice for when you want thin paper. But it's not for people who hate showthrough with every fiber of their inked being.

Thanks! Been in the fence about this one. Too light for my use so saved me the cost of a sample.

[nomadhacker]

No problem. And agreed, it's a bit light. The other Noodler oranges seem to have a little more contrast.

When you get a chance, send that one to me for the next fade experiment. I've never had OOO and oranges are often the first to fade, but some of the VMails have been amazing.

[nomadhacker]

Ok. I'll try and get some short examples of some inks on paper to send out. Hopefully won't be too late to get fade testing

[amberleadavis]

I'm planning on next years test.

Well that one I can make
