It may be (very) slow to dry, but I still have never seen any ink so rich and appealing as Apache Sunset!

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Let's try Autumn Oak here, OK?

OMD! The ink color AND your penmanship are both to die for! I'm definitely going to HAVE to get some Autumn Oak.

Isn't that the oddest thing? Suddenly you play with an ink and it speaks to you, and it's the one you've been looking for for a long time? Crazy, right? :)

I love the cayenne, too. One of my favorites in our collection!

Autumn Oak is a true favorite. Love it. Cayenne is a color that I adore, but I have had the worst luck with it: it becomes gooey very quickly and takes forever to dry. I have tried everything people have suggested, and the bottle I have just won't behave. But again, the color is stupendous.

Pelikan Mandarin

 

I really like this colour and it has some fun shading.

 

Edit: getting used to uploading photos here. I think it's bigger onscreen than it should be, sorry!

Edit2: let's try this!

Don't get me started on Noodler's dry time. I have a Habanero ink splash which is still not dried after a month.

 

I foolishly did an Apache Sunset droplet on super heavy vellum, I think it took 12 days to fully dry.

There must be a fix of some kind for the orange and red Noodler inks, right? Any chemistry-sciency people out there who can help? ;)

The one trick Nathan Tardiff doesn't want you to know: Add water!

 

In all seriousness, water should be able to dilute the surfactants and help reduce dry time.

 

Also, if you are feeling dangerous, evaporate a bit of water and replace with rubbing alcohol and alcohol has a very low evaporation point and will make ink dry faster (don't try this without research. I don't know if alcohol is bad for pens or what not).

Thanks for the suggestions. I had tried water before, but it a) didn't help much, and B) lightened the color.

 

So to have the color I originally spent money on (ahem!!) means that I am forced to put sticky notes on my pages to give my pen pals SMEAR WARNINGS with my letters. Arrrrrrghhh. As you and webgeckos can attest to... ;)

Finally got my hands on some! I found the shading to be best on the above, Oxford brand 90gsm paper. It was ok on my two 90gsm Rhodia webbies, but one of them had loads of feathering and bleedthrough. Tomoe paper was fine, but the shading sort of disappeared after drying.

I found it actually shades well on cheap paper.

I find that it shades well on almost any paper. But in my experience, it does depend on the pen and nib. In spite of its infuriating slowness to dry, it is most definitely an ink worth fussing with! ;)
