I've been waiting until I got a black light before doing a review of these inks. My little UV flashlight arrived today, so I thought I'd upload a preview of some of the inks that fluoresce under UV. Most are Russian bulletproof inks, but not all of them had visible fluorescence. If I had a camera that could do a longer exposure, I'd do it under total darkness, but those pics didn't turn out.

What I did discover: OMG my bathroom counter isn't clean after the encounter with Chekhov! I'll be working on that soon.

And some other Noodler's Inks:


Top: normal light. Bottom (and left inset): normal + ultraviolet light.

Left to right:
Lightning Blue (highlighting ink)
Mata Hari's Cordial (UK eternal)
Highland's Heather (it's purple in the top picture, and green under ultraviolet; it's the most complex ink I own)
Blue Ghost (also at extreme left)
Hunter Green -- it doesn't show up well, but it does have a slight green glow under UV

SWEET!!! The Dostoevsky really shows some difference.
