Here is my fast review of Noodler's Banker's Tan ink for Dromgoole's at the Dallas Pen Show 2015. Every year Nathan does a special ink for Dromgoole's, which gets handed out at the Dallas Pen Show. I picked mine up in store last week while in Houston and I expect was one of the first to receive the ink. This comes in a 1 oz bottle and may or may not ever be available again. Larry mentioned that Nathan currently only had enough ingredients for 150-ish bottles.

 

Clearly this is an unusual color. Something along the lines of Pilot Iroshizuku Ina-ho. Of note there is little odor, in particular, there is no chalky odor associated with some Noodler's special edition inks.

 

I like it, and will use it. HIGHLY WATER RESISTANT if not bulletproof or eternal (no indication on the label).

 

Pic scanned a little darker than real life.

 

There is more of a gold sparkle without there being actual sparkles in Banker's Tan than in Ina-ho. While Ina-ho holds up remarkably well to water it also washes out to a grey color. Banker's Tan holds fast.

 

Good dry time for Noodler's, which this lefty likes much.

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

Create a Ghostly Avatar and I'll send you a letter. Check out some Ink comparisons: The Great PPS Comparison 

Don't know where to start?  Look at the Inky Topics O'day.  Then, see inks sorted by color: Blue Purple Brown Red Green Dark Green Orange Black Pinks Yellows Blue-Blacks Grey/Gray UVInks Turquoise/Teal MURKY

This is a great color and I got mine at the Dallas show. It will be a great substitution for KWZ Honey that was already sold out when I got to the Vaness both just after the show opened! I'm going to enjoy this in my new Pelikan white tortoise, and I was having trouble deciding which ink to start with!

 

THANKS DROMGOOLES!!!

I used a F nib. Looks like a touch of shading maybe?

 

I have a suspicion that it would be boring in a F nib, it needs a B or Stub to be interesting at all.

I have a review up done with a F nib. No shading with it.

That's cool. Does it wash at all with water? I like it on the warmer papers, though maybe not enough to need a bottle.

 

Is "banker's tan" a reference to something?

Nope, it doesn't move. I'll do a sample to show you.

      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
