Good question. I don't look at it specifically.

But there are other Noodler inks which take a LOT more drying time then this one.

So, completely subjective, I would say drying time is not that bad.

I like the color very much, and the effect on more absorbing papers is really special.

Yeah I have seen the same with many noodlers on decent paper. This ink looks neat, also thanks for doing the chromatography on these, I always like seeing them.

I just bought this, and have it in a Sheaffer Prelude with a fine nib. It is understated and very pretty, although I would like to try it in something broader in order to see the shading you are getting. I have not had any problems with bleeding through the paper, or with nasty drying times.

I don't know what is meant by "the aura". I'll try it on more types of paper. My ink looks much less green and lighter than the example at the beginning of this post.

You can see the halo on the right upper side and on the splash, it is the light blue " outlining"

Left below you can see the swabs, and you can see that the amount of ink also gives a big variance in color.

And of course, the paper used has a big effect.

And this is also one of the inks I always shake (or stir...) before is use it, like a lot of Noodler's Inks, they are quit " heavy" and need to be mixed well.

Good luck!

OK, Gotcha! I thought that was just ink on wet paper to show the variance in colour.

 

Thanks for the suggestion to shake the bottle, something I never do in case of any dubious material that may have arrived with the ink and settled to the bottom of the bottle. I had noticed this problem with Noodler's inks, however. I guess that is how they get such wonderful colours.

      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
