Noodler's Borealis Black Written Ink Review

[Mafia Geek]

Here's a written review of Noodler's Borealis Black ink. This is one of the blackest black inks I've had the pleasure of using. I did find that it wrote wetter than most inks and did showthrough a little more than I'd like, on Rhodia paper it likely wouldn't as much, but on the paper I use most days it shows through quite a bit. With a dryer writing pen it would likely be a lot better.

 

 

The ink it fairly water resistant, at the moment I can't find my water resistance test but for it I wrote on a small Rhodia pad and after letting the ink dry for a few minutes ran it under water for a few seconds. Some ink did wash out, but most of it was left and was easily read, in fact could hardly tell any ink had washed out it's so dark.

Nice review! Borealis is my everyday black, and almost as beloved as Heart of Darkness.

 

A dealer told me Borealis was Nathan's waterproof riff on Aurora Black... Aurora. Borealis. I should have figured that out.
