I want to put Noddler 'Year of the Pig' (it's just Bulletproof Noodler's Firefly really) in a Noodler's Bush Pen or into a Refillable Preppy to use as a highlighter.... what's my best move? OR is there a better idea? I already love the ink in a Kaweco Sport Stub, but I'm ready to have something to use in my bible. Helpneeded, because I've watched Goulet's video on trimming the brush or replacement brushes to alter the line and wetness, but I've seen all sorts of people complaining about drying problems in the preppy when filling the body instead of using converter or eyedeopper converter...

Thoughts?

*by the way, I know this could go in either this thread or in the 'first stop thread' but didn't want to get the panties of the 'but it's not a fountain pen (preppy) or it's not a nib (Ahab brush).... if I should cross post, please suggest so. -B

I dont think any liquid ink will work well in a bible. Jet pens recommends these highlighter pencils for the bible. https://www.jetpens.com/Kutsuwa-HiLiNE-Highlighter-Pencils/ct/2337

 

I currently use a pilot parallel with a noodlers yellow highlighter ink (catfish something I believe) for highlighting on printer paper. It is too wet for any textbook Ive come across.

 

I use a preppy highlighter with the same noodlers ink in textbooks and it works much better than the parallel. A few books with thinner pages have bleed through. This was limited to the older wolters kluwer books. I sent them a few emails and my newer wolters books are much better this year. Maybe they listened to me. The preppy has been going two years on the same tip and its still working fine. I cant speak to eyedropper usage because Ive only used it with the converter, which I fill with a syringe.

 

I used a bottle of pelikan duo highlighter ink and it bled less than the noodlers, but was substantially more expensive. It still was not dry enough to use the parallel in a textbook.

Try a FriXion highlighter. They actually are very dry feeling and don't put out a lot of ink, which means they perform pretty well in Bibles.

      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
