Monkey Hanger - Noodler's Ink


visvamitra

Recommended Posts

Noodler’s is one of the companies that don’t need any introductions. Nathan Tardiff is a legend and his work is well known by fountain pen and ink afficionados. Not everyone is crazy about Noodler’s inks but I enjoy most of the ones I’ve tried so far.


Monkey Hanger is flat looking blue ink that's bulletproof. You can soak it in water for days and the color won't change. That;s cool. What's rather uncool is terrible feathering on many papers. For me it's a deal breaker. The ink is exclusive for purepens in UK and the story behind the name is interesting.

Thank you for the review. It may not be a good stand-alone ink, but it's one of few bulletproof turquoise and should be quite useful in mixing.

It appears in vis' review much more vibrant than what I have in my sample. It may not have shading or sheen, but it is waterproof and quick fast drying. I didn't notice any feathering, but some show through on cheaper papers.

Yes, it does feather badly but it's an interesting colour. Prime of the Commons is also worth a look as well.

Thanks VIS!!!

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

I like the look of that edge haloing. I'd like. however, to see a side by side with R&K Documentus Hellblau, which is also pretty permanent.

      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
