Disclaimer: This is a handwritten review with one pen. The color may not always match perfectly what you see in your pens or on your screen. I try very hard to color match as much as I can with my reviews, but I cannot account for all variables. If there are huge discrepancies please discuss in the thread!

 

The complete series of inks is up for review at my site: Pens and Ink Check them out. Over the next few days I'll have them all up on FPN as well, I'm just trying to abide by the 3 a day limit!

How well does it resist water? How about a side-by-side comparison with Apache Sunset?

I just finished testing this as I'm preparing my review of it right now. Yellow rinses out of it very quickly, but the ink that remains behind is stubborn. After five minutes under a fast running faucet, the writings still very easy to read. It has shifted significantly to red, but no meaning was lost.

I got a bottle of OOO today, and have used Apache Sunset for years. OOO is a pretty even, "Lifesaver" candy orange that is rather flat -- not really popping, but a true, consistent orange. It doesn't have the extremes in shading that Apache has -- in fact, compared to Apache, it doesn't shade at all. I'm not too sure about this one. Apache is my favorite orange, but this one is water resistent while Apache practically disappears with a splash of water. I think if you're looking for something similar to Apache, you'll be disappointed (as I was).
