Verdict

Upon looking up the price, I see that Noodler’s changed the name from Apache Sunset to Southwest Sunset. They are the same ink as far as I can see, though.

This is everyone’s favourite orange, it seems. Many claim it’s their favourite ink, period. I can see the appeal, because the shading is lovely! I keep it in an Esterbrook JR and it delights me every time I use it.
