StandardGraph Orange

[Luci]

As noted in my review of the Mallow Red / Malvenrot, I have decided to provide reviews of my StandardGraph inks. Visvamitra already reviewed this ink a few years ago but I thought it would be useful to provide a review with embedded images, a more recent standard review form and using a thinner nib.

 

I like this ink for marking up printouts of things I'm editing.  It's a bit more on the pumpkin-coloured side than the only other orange ink I have, Caran d'Ache Saffron, which is a shade or two more yellow.

The ink is surprisingly quick-drying and resilient, but like the Mallow Red does tend to show through / bleed through the more absorbent papers. The second image below shows the rear side of a Moleskeine notebook after writing on the front side in both inks. From my tests, the Orange bleeds through a bit more than the Mallow Red.

I think the bottle is quite attractive, almost identical to Pelikan and possibly made by the same manufacturer. At EUR4.50 per 30mL bottle in 2005, I think it was pretty good value. It is still available online (though with different labels) from Pennonia.eu for EUR5.90.

Nice color!  Thanks for this one too.
