I have only had Noodlers Golden Brown ink a couple of days, but it is quickly becoming my favorite brown. The flow is good with this ink, and it is fairly well lubricating.

And a close-up showing some of the interesting color effects in the shading.

Oooh, I like that colour. I wish it was sold in the UK. One of my favourite ink colours is Diamine Sepia, so it should be no surprise that I like the look of the Golden Brown.

OO thanks for the review, what a beautiful golden brown color that is.

I like that color! :) It looks real close to a shade I've been mixing. If I get a bottle I won't have to mix!

 

Thanks Stephen.

How can you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

Aaahhh, caramel. Enough with the mouth-watering inks, already :lol: (just kidding).

 

It's also my experience that denser paper like Clairefontaine (or Rhodia, the same parent company and pretty much the same paper; one of my students writes his essays on Rhodia :)9 ) causes stretch-and-pool shading more than looser papers.

Excellent review, and a very nice close-up also. Thanks for sharing.

that's the ink I thought of when I saw this. Just so's folks know - Diamine Sepia is similar (but not the same) and also has lovely shading properties. (when things calm down next week I'll try to post an image - i say that a lot though) I never thought I'd like a golden brown but I adore Sepia. So - looks like I would like the Golden Brown also.

 

Caramel is a good word for it. And for the Sepia.

So pretty, thank you for the review and images!

That's just what I imagined Golden Brown to look like .. awesome. But I always get that Stranglers song in my head (which isn't a bad thing since I love it)

 

Thanks for the pictures - those are great!

Now I've got the song in my head, Marina! Lol!

 

Meanwhile, it has to be asked--this ink and waterproofness...friend or foe? I imagine the Golden Brown vanishes in high humidity, let alone actual contact with water.

 

It would be wonderful if there were something that could be added to water soluble inks that would make them waterproof while maintaining their true color.

 

Well, I can dream, can't I? :P

Sure there is. It's called spray fixitive and you can buy it at art supply stores. Get the "no fumes" kind -- the fumes from the old-fashioned stuff will knock you off your feet. :sick:

I love that T Bone Walker quote, by the way.

I can't tell from the photo, but what you want is the Krylon #1306 Workable Fixative (no fumes). Krylon used to make a Workable Fixative that put out fumes that could clear a building faster than tear gas.

 

There are other brands of no-fume fix, too. Just check the can before you buy. You can get #1306 at Dick Blick if the Michael's stuff isn't it. Another brand and source is Blair No Odor Spray Fix at Art Xpress (http://www.artxpress.com/commerce/catalog/product.jsp?product_id=8558). You can get Blair at ArtSuppliesOnline.com as well.

 

re T Bone, the quote is from his new album (first one in ten years). They interviewed him on NPR Sunday (WESun). Pretty funny. I thought the quote was cute, and then of course on Monday the VA admitted somebody stole the personal data for all 26 million living vets -- since I am one of the 26 million, identity theft was no longer something that happens to somebody else.

 

OT: I no longer know whether to be more afraid of the criminals who rip off our identities or of the government and the corporations that make it so easy for the criminals to do their work. Actually, I do know the answer to that, but it doesn't make me feel any better.

Dear Stephen...

can i trouble you to post a sample of yr brown ink again but this time , after a significant period of unuse in the FP. I want to know if this ink darkens after some time. (I had thot all inks darken over time until I saw someone's post here showing some light blue ink that doesn't darken.)

Many thanks.

I bought a bottle of this because of this review, and I'm loving it. Thanks again!

Reviving an old post, I thought I'd post a picture I found on my computer that I don't believe I ever posted to FPN. This documents how GB looks quite different depending on the pen. It often starts browner or yellower and then evens out to its true color, in some pens, if I've let it sit for a few hours. And (to me) it's a drier ink than most of the others I have. I usually go to this or Eternal Brown when I want a dry ink (if a pen is too wet). Nevertheless, it's an incredibly lovely color, and the yellow component means that it can make some very interesting mixes!!

      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
