Sailor Jentle Apricot is a stunningly bright and vibrant orange ink that leaps off of the page and grabs your attention. I don’t usually gravitate towards orange inks, but Apricot is so eye-catching that I couldn’t help but become captivated by it. The color is so vivid that the ink almost glows on the white field of the paper. The shading is slight but notable as it undulates from a delectably indulgent crimson orange to a softer apricot color. I absolutely love the way this ink looks with a flex nib. There is even a bit of a gloss to the ink when it is allowed to pool up, but this is not likely to manifest itself in regular writing. Flow is good across the board, dry times are average and it behaves as admirably as any other Sailor ink I have tried. However, the ink does not stand a chance against water and is easily washed away upon exposure. Unfortunately, as of early 2014, Sailor Apricot has been discontinued along with the rest of that generation of Jentle inks. I am truly sad to see it go, but perhaps it will make a re-appearance again in the future. I highly recommend this ink if you can find any!

Orange is not “my cup of tea
Orange ink isn’t quite “my cup of tea” – but your photography and presentation are superb! Thanks so much.

This is such an awesome ink. I haven’t used it for a while, but it’s still the benchmark for oranges, if you ask me.

This ink may have been reintroduced!!!
I have just bought it from Andersonpens.com (April 2018).
My 2014 bottle was limited to special occasions but now I can use it every day!
