I have been using Nooder's Eternal Black for a year now and I've been quite happy with it. I'm left-handed and I find the dry-time acceptable.

I'd like a bulletproof (or near-bulletproof) ink in blue to try. I'm considering Noodler's Navy Blue (near-bulletproof) and I am wondering if anyone here can compare the dry-time of the Navy Blue to the Black.

I'd also be interested in the same comparison with Upper Ganges Blue...

Thanks!

Navy's drying time is comparable to Black's. Navy might be a tad slower, but not much.

Noodler's Navy, by the way, isn't a navy blue, but a greenish blue-black.

Not familiar with UGB, myself. But I know Gulf Stream Blue, which has the "contract" (quasi-bulletproof) rating, and the drying time is also similar to Black's.

If you PM me your snail address, I'd be happy to send you vials of Navy and GSB.
