Here's a highly recommended ink with an AWESOME back story. If you like black inks with subtle undertones (green in this case), this is definitely one to try. Heck, I think it's worth a try just based on how it came about. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/901/ydcmjp.jpg

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.
