Well Behaving Noodler's For Student


TheAkwardNinja

Recommended Posts

Ive been posting lately about an ink for me. I have discovered that Parker Black behaves well enough for me on my cheap notebook paper. Does Noodler's have a dark blue/blue ink that behaves without woolly lines, bleed through and see through? I am using an extra fine Safari.

 

I need some advice, please!!!! :(

It does depend on the paper, but if it has a lot of bamboo or bagasse in it, then Noodler's Blue or Ottoman Azure will both behave well, much better than Private Reserve or Diamine inks.

 

I would contact Goulet pens about some samples before you buy a whole bottle.

 

Another alternative is Waterman Florida (now Serenity) Blue. That behaves better on paper than the Noodler's blues, but isn't quite as vibrant.

 

I wouldn't bother with any of the Noodler's Bulletproof/Wardens inks, as they do bleed worse than Noodler's Black.

As you find Parker quink Black nice why not try quink Blue-Black is got a very nice shade to it that you wouldn't expect it have:

However if you want something really nice buy a bottle of J.herbin Bleu-Nuit (aka midnight Blue). This is my favourite ink by far as I love the shading it has and find the colour very easy for my eyes to focus on it is a little more expensive than Noodler's however what you loose is quantity you gain in quality it's very pen friendly and won't cause issues with your pens.

(No affliction with goulet pens, they just show some decent samples of the inks)

+1 on the suggestion for samples - I've had good experiences buying them both from the Goulets and isellpens.com.

 

I currently have a P51 in the rotation, loaded with 54th Massachusetts. This pen has a pretty wet feed, but the ink is still reasonably behaved on cheap copier paper. Bernake Blue might be another possible candidate.

Eel Blue -- very well behaved, dries quickly enough, nice full blue, lubricated.

Hi-

 

I'm at university right now and use Noodler's Midnight Blue in my medium Parker Sonnet with regular notebooks, loose leaf, etc. I find it works well with most copy papers but not all.

 

If I know I have an exam coming I'll switch to Noodler's X-Feather which does not bleed (but has the consistency of motor oil and creeps).

 

I started the year with several J. Herbin inks and found that they bled a little too much for my tastes, and were too bright to look at page after page.

 

Also 1+ on the Goulet samples, you can have 5 or 6 and shipping and pay less than $10

My pens: Two Parker 45s, a Parker Jotter, a Pilot Custom 74 smoke demonstrator, a Lamy Studio, a Parker Sonnet Ciselé, and a Duofold International Citrine

Noodler's Black is designed to behave well on all kinds of paper, and I've not tried it on something it couldn't handle, even paper my other inks had problem with.

The recommendation to avoid the Warden series is not a proper blanket under which to put a statement. Bad Green Gator feathers more than a chicken in a dynamite testing zone, but Bad Blue Heron can be used on cheap newsprint without feathering. It's a crossword-suitable ink.

It's one of my favorites on a budget.

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

      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
