This review along with all my others can be found at The Dizzy Pen.

 

I like blues, but I love them even more if there is a hint of green to them. Noodler's Navy is just that: Navy. It is a dark blue with a touch of green.

 

It is very well behaved. I've had it in a Pilot Petit 1 for at least 3 weeks straight, and it is still going strong. I carry that little Petit 1 with me everywhere. I use it to sign receipts, jot down quick notes, or anything else that requires a pen. This ink performs admirably even on less than stellar paper.

 

The Details:

  • No feathering or bleed through. Even in poor quality papers.

  • Good flow and even better lubrication.

  • Fast drying at under 5 seconds.

  • There is a little shading depending on the nib, paper, etc.

  • This ink is not waterproof, but it is VERY water resistant. The blue rinses away, but a blackish line remains. It is very easily legible.

Thanks for another good review dizzypen! Interesting ink, I'll be looking for this at the D.C. Pen show.

Need a pen repaired or a nib re-ground? I'd love to help you out.

another great review!

 

I like this ink somewhat better than Legal Lapis for the more colorful color :) but most of all, it behaves better for me on most papers than LL.

 

I like it better than Legal Lapis as well for the same reason. Also, because of the water resistant quality of Navy it can be used in a wide variety of situations.

If I had to pick one and only one blue ink, this would be it. Although I don't tend to have dedicated pen and ink combinations, this does so wonderfully in my Divina Springs, stubbed by Michael Masuyama, that they have been paired for months now and I don't have any inclination to change that.

I came here for the pictures and stayed for the conversation.

I'm with Limesally and Dizzy on this one. It is nicer (more of a blue green rather than green with a hint of blue)than Noodler's Legal Lapis. I know that LL is waterproof, but Navy is semi-permanent and that is permanent enough, for me.

      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
