I will also pull out the UV light at some point.

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

Not to digress into politics, but as more Californians move here, maybe a more appropriate ink for the state would be one that changes from red to blue. That would be kinda fun.

Since you asked, you call Larry Dromgoole and tell him it's Amber's fault. Feel free to also blame me for the general state of the economy.

That is a very odd color of ink. Not quite sure yet what I think of it....

Don't suppose Dromgoole's does sample vials. I don't as how it's a color I'd want a full bottle of. Of course I said that about 54th MA too....

Larry wasn't sure it was going to be produced beyond this first run. The bottles are only 1 oz, so if you hate it, it isn't that much ink. If you think of it as a waterproof aqua, it's pretty cool.

Wow, that would look very nice with my Kaweco Skyline Sport in Mint (not that I need a reason to look for more ink...). Thank you for the review!

Comparison to KWZI #37 and #39

 

Note: Now that the ink has been on the page for about half an hour, it is looking slightly more blue.

Breathe. Take one step at a time. Don't sweat the small stuff. You're not getting older, you are only moving through time. Be calm and positive.

So, what color do you think it actually is?

I would call it a muddy teal with no shading. It is waterproof, and rapidly soaks into the paper, but doesn't feather. It's behavior is very different than any other ink I've used, that's for sure, and so is the color.

It's a blue green teal color. Starts more green then changes pretty rapidly to blue green teal. The more I use it the more I like it. The color is surprisingly nice, but the performance is worth noting. It flows freely, but is not wet. It dries fast without feathering or bleed through even on crappy copy paper. Show through is minimal. It is essentially waterproof, which as has been mentioned is unusual for this type of color. There is nib creep but, hey, it's a Noodler's ink. All in all it's a very good ink.

 

Larry was not hot on this ink. It seems, however, that it has got some early fans so maybe Larry can be convinced to carry it forward into larger bottles. If not it may be that Nathan will pursue it or a similar color.

The more I use and see it, the more I like it too.

      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
