I realized when I was preparing this review that I really like ink. A lot. I think that it is generally really cool stuff to use. But I do not think that I like to write reviews. I have a hard time coming up with ways to express what the ink is doing for me. Maybe it is better put to say that I have a hard time expressing what the ink will do for YOU. So, ymmv.

 

Napalm is a cool ink. It's a good one to have in your arsenal, as you never know when you might need it. What is it? It is different. I agree with penguinmaster that it does not really live up to its hype, but it is still a cool ink.

 

A few things:

The color is unique, but I think that sometimes it looks too pink. Napalm should never be pink.

The ink takes a long time to dry (in the pens that I used it in).

The shading is nice, and you can vary the amount of shading with a few techniques (speed, flow, etc).

Feathering and bleeding? Minimal.

I have no connection to Noodler's, other than loving the ink. And no connection to Jetpens, other than getting the ink from them.

Very high saturation and contrast.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

It's one of my favorite inks. I use it for puzzles and the occasional letter.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
