Does Anyone Else Have This Problem With A Parker Fp And Noodlers Ink ?

[phonelady61]

I find that sometimes noodlers ink has trouble with some of my parker pens . For reference I have a parker 45 and a parker im and neither one of them likes noodlers ink . Any other ink is fine but it just seems like noodlers is the red headed step child to parker . Sorry to all the red heads out there . Just wonder if anyone else has this problem besides me ?

Noodlers ink sometimes doesn't ''play nicely'' with older pens. In fact there are some vintage pen sellers who tell buyers that the normal guarantee they give is void if the pen is filled with Noodlers. Your pens are telling you something, I'd switch to a less saturated ink.

oh i did switch when i saw they were having a problem i was just wondering if that happens . thanks pen lady .

From one ''lady'' to another - you're welcome

Well, given that the Snorkel with the EF nib didn't play well with vintage Skrip Peacock....

Some inks just don't work in some pens. Although I wouldn't think twice about putting some Noodler's inks into a Parker 51, I'd be a little leery of putting something saturated into a Vac, or a capillary fill 61....

Nope. Used Noodler's in 21, 21 Super, 45, 51, 61, 75, Duofold, etc.....No problemo.

Noodler's has many inks with many different characteristics. I might guess that different inks will behave differently in a specific pen. It might be more interesting to know which inks did not work and which inks seem to be working.

I no longer use Noodlers ink in any of my pens, regardless of pen brand.

Why chance it? I have had some Noodler's ink do a nib creep right out of the pen. In a 51 and in a Sonnet. It did clean out. Still, it wasn't fun.

I find the colors interesting, but have lost a couple of shirts to Noodler's, so only cheap almost disposable pens for use with them for me and only at a desk so as to decrease the chance of spilling.
