One sentence- One of the nicest Noodlers ink with awesome shading property I have used till date... infact after trying the 2ml sample ordered a full bottle

I love how this ink looks, but sadly, on the Midori MD paper I primarily use, I would have to leave the page open for around 2 hours, and some of the dots might still not be dry. It's not as bad with more absorbent papers, but still takes relatively forever. The shading is gorgeous, so I feel bad blotting it away, but I'd like to eventually be able to turn pages in my notebook!

I'm having a similar, but not as extreme, issue with Noodler's golden brown, so maybe it's just something going on with Noodler's inks with yellow background tones. It's making me very wary of their inks in general, though.

This is my favorite orange!

The ink sample is pretty accurate and has gorgeous shading

Great color

The sheen on this ink is so good. The lighter yellow not too light to be hard on the eyes and the darker hues make script look like something out of the Lord of the Rings. A note that this is somewhat wet, so if you use this for journaling or similar you will need to allow time for the ink to dry before flipping pages and such.

Gifted this with a pen. Recipient loves the color.

Flows nicely and dries to a more saturated color than it has when wet. There's a lot of variability based on stroke thickness/volume of ink on paper, but it makes a really beautiful effect.

A classic!

The shading on even very low cost paper is luxurious. I was very impressed with the inks performance both in speed of drying and vibrance of the color.

I was so surprised at how beautifully this ink shaded. The color was also surprisingly beautiful and it landed in my top 10 inks so far.

I am not a fan of yellow/orange colours, yet when I inked my pen in August with this I just had to order another sample to keep on using it. I have not committed to a full bottle, but I can quite surpisingly see myself order one in the future. Honestly, I suggest all to give it a try

Well behaved

I bought the full bottle as soon as I tried the sample so I guess that says it all.

This color is one of my absolute favorites of all time! The ink is perfectly saturated and has beautiful shading, even when used with a fine nib on less-than-premium paper. The color is really a nice golden sunset orange color (similar to Private Reserve Shoreline Gold) and with a wetter/broader nib, the color is even more saturated. This is simply an attractive color ink and I have nothing negative to say about it.

This is a lovely color. I use it with pointed pen calligraphy and it produces some beautiful shading.

It does write well for fountain pen ink. But the color was horrible and not like the samples on the computer. It resembles iodine medicine to me, which is rather revolting. Sorry.

Absolutely beautiful. Every word is a gradient even with a fine nib.

A Gorgeous, happy color.

Fun, takes a while to dry though and is very wet.

Beautiful color I love it!

I liked it quite a bit and notice the different shading on different papers of course.

Apache Sunset is one of my absolutely favorite shading inks. I'm not a huge fan of orange, but the shading is so intense that it appears as two distinct colors (orange and yellow). To me, that's magic. It's also got a great consistency- wet but not sloppily so, and plays well with every fountain pen I've filled with it. I actually like it so much, I've purchased multiple samples over the past year so that I'm never truly out of it. The attached photos are a swatch on Clairfontaine 90gsm paper and a letter written on cream Yamamoto Cosmo Air Light 75gsm paper, using a Monteverde Monza fountain pen with a #5 Omniflex nib.

An ink I wasn't expecting!Great shading even with limited ink used. I found that the shading even showed when I used a F to a 1.1 stub nib. It has a great range. It is easy to use, nice colouring, and vibrant.

I'm not normally an orange fan, but this came in my Must Have Sample pack, so I thought I'd try it. And now I'm in love. I used a glass dip pen on Tomoe River 52 gsm white paper, and the shading is incredible. It does darken as it dries, to a more apricot orange, which somehow comes across as sophisticated and dramatic. It writes beautifully- it required more frequent re-dipping than my Diamine inks, but far less than my Sailor inks. Overall, I highly recommend this one and will be getting a full bottle.Because it's so close to Sailor Manyo Yamabuki, I did a side by side comparison of the two- Apache Sunset is on the right and you can see it's darker in tone.

This ink lived up to its reputation for being beautiful in color and shading. However, it seems a bit light to use in written correspondence. Personally, I have found Noodlers Habanero to work far better for this purpose (it is darker, yet preserves excellent shading characteristics). In other respects, this is a fine example of this brand's creativity and quality.

Beautiful color, I'm glad Goulet Pens offers samples because after using it I realize it isn't an everyday color for me and I initially was just going to buy the biggest bottle I could.

Love the color and love the shading while writing. For me it dries as just orange and I lose the shading. :/. Have tried with both fine and broad nibs. Broad is best but still dries the same. Used on basic notebook paper..... That may make the difference?

Beautiful color, but what amazes me more is the service at Goulet Pens. The only place I shop unless they don't have something that I need. Keep up the great work.

Not my first rodeo with this ink, and it never ceases to amaze me. I love the shading and is my favorite bright orange ink color.

I love the color but it's just too light on paper for my taste.

I love the sample option for your vast selection of inks! Great way to try it before buying the bottle! Your colors are exquisite! Easy order, quick delivery! Thank you!
