Noodler's Air-Corp Blue-Black

Recommended Posts

Not quite sold on this (hoping to be soon, since I bought a full bottle without trying a sample…), but it's certainly an interesting ink.

Another great review and I really like this ink a lot. One of the few I could get here while supplies lasted. I find it darker though but I can't do a scan just yet - cooking dinner! Great ink though and well worth a try.

Here's my scan, a little earlier than I expected. Curry is on 'hold' while I did this!

I make it just a little bluer but I like the ink and don't mind what happens in the green area.

I've been looking for black/green/blue ink for a while and have seriously considered the Aircorp bb, however from many photos that I've seen of it (I prefer photos to scans for a truer representation of the hue) it seems to have a bery vibrant almost electric quality to it's blue/green element. Is this a true assessment? Could I hope for a more muted or matte quality?

I always love your ink reviews, and as I just bought a bottle of ACBB, I'm pleased to see its properties. Also, BNB is o e of my all-time fave inks. :thumbup:

It depends on the paper, but, for me, ACBB is very... assertive about its color. It is in no way neon, but it's very dark, and somehow catches your eye with its intensity. I personally prefer more muted inks, but ACBB is cool and unique and loved by many people, so you may feel differently.

As usual, another great ink review, mh.

 

While I may eventually do an ink review, my real long term goal is to get ANY of my Noodler pens to flex like yours. Are you really using a Noodler pen? You wouldn't be joshing us, would you? ;)

Thanks! :thumbup:

 

I don't pull shenanigans with my reviews. :ninja: :roflmho:

 

The Noodler's Flex pen I use for nearly all of my reviews is about to turn a year old, and in that year it's been whipped into submission by so much flexed writing practicing that it can do some pretty darn amazing feats on the page. I know some people are disappointed by how stiff new Noodler's pens are when they're new, but this Flex and my first Ahab can pull some spectacular trick and prove that if you practice with them, these nibs can be broken in to (steel) flex perfection. :D

 

I actually loaned my the review Flex (filled with Rouge Hematite) to my friend so she can do her Christmas cards, but when I get it back I'll shoot a video proving it's capabilities. :cloud9: :thumbup:

      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..
    • A Smug Dill
      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
