Noodler's V-Mail Ink Series: Midway Blue

[ticoun]

my bottle of midway blue has been delivered today, and i just fell in love with the color even more. i decided to write a review about this ink, and here it is.

i corrected the color as much as i can, but the color is still a bit brighter in real life.

Nice review! I've been wanting to try this one for a while now.

I love this ink, but I had some problems of bleeding through.

Thanks for the review. I'd love to see how this compares to Noodler's Eel Blue.

I've been after a bright blue that is at least water resistant (Eel Blue isn't) and fast drying.

Looks like this one may fit the bill.

Thanks for the question. I'm also looking for a blue, at least water resistant , that is similar to Eel Blue. My only concern is that Midway Blue could have problems with feathering. This review was made on a Clairefontaine paper, which don't bleed or feather with any ink (even the worst feather ink), as we know.

I did a quick comparison of Blue Eel and Midway (amongst others) a short while ago.

I haven't tested the water resistance, but I might be able to do that if you are interested.

for water resistance, it's a 7/10. some of the color washes off, but the rest is still legible. that review was made on standard copy paper, and the clairefontaine test was not posted.

Bronze,

 

Great comparative review. I always wanted to compare those popular blue inks.

 

Ticoun,

 

Thanks for the review and explanations. You help me a lot. No doubt, Midway Blue will be one of my next inks.

 

Regards,

I like this ink, and it was the first Vmail color I bought. It's water resistance seems good to me. I bought my bottle early last year and I haven't had a feathering issue with, except on very cheap copy paper. It did; however, bleed through on a moleskine notebook I was using at the time.
