I couldn’t see this one on the list, but looking again I found Bill’s review at https://www.fountainpennetwork.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=80596 so apologies for the duplicate.

This is an archival (“document”) ink to ISO 12757-2 standards. It is resistant to water and should have good light resistance. I did not expect to like this ink, but I find myself warming to it. Noodler’s ink is almost impossible to get here in the UK and casual import can easily double the price when getting reasonable quantities, so this is a nice alternative.

 

Hope this is useful to someone.

Thanks for that. Like the colour, must try some.

 

Ive been getting Noodlers from Goulet. As long as you dont exceed 2 bottles ive found that you dont get nobbled by customs handing charge and vat. The Ink is cheaper but shipping is expensive but it all balances out. At least you can get it. Generally delivery is within one week so ive no complaints. Great people to deal with

 

Cheers

Thanks for the review. I had been unsure of the differences between this and the deA Archive ink, and your reviews have cleared this up for me. Thanks once again.

Ditto... good to hear this. And that it is not their other 'archival' 'non-FP' ink. Will now order some.

Pens are like watches , once you start a collection, you can hardly go back. And pens like all fine luxury items do improve with time

Thanks very Useful

 

I have both the Blue and the Dark Blue Document Inks....

 

Amazing stuff!!!

It's resistant to sunlight. I am a nurse and I held the paper with the ink under the Tap, I also poored hand desinfectant (Sterilium) on it. Desinfectant even removes biro ink of your skin... But here comes the wonder nothing happened to the De Atramentis document ink. It's like t was carved in stone...

 

I´ll post a writng sample in the coming days...

 

By the way try the Khaki and the Jane Austen Green... Very lovely in an Italic nib

So now the $64,000 question: is it safe in your pen and will it lead to difficult to handle clogs?

Yes it's safe in your Fountain Pen. It.s made of nano particles as Dr Jansen told me. this means that it does not clog your feed. When changing to another ink simply flush with a bulb syringe...

Only disadvantage, it takes longer to clean your converter because you cannot flush it...

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
