The bottle I had was not a true blue. It had some turquoise elements to it, similar to Namiki Blue. If someone were to post a side-by-side scan of Noodlers Blue and PR American Blue, the difference would jump off the screen.

This review is by MicheleB. I scanned it in though.

Wow, it almost look identical to Noodler's Ottoman Azure to me. I have Noodler's Blue and was looking into getting Ottoman Azure; however, upon taking a look at the comparison chart, I may spring for something more unique. Thanks for the nice review a a vivid and well behaved ink.

How does this compare to say Private Reserve DC Supershow, American Blue or Electric Blue, or the Diamine Royal Blue or English Writing Society Blue

It's pretty real blue, but it's a pity that Noodler's Blue is not water resistant.

 

There are few water resistent blue (clear blue or medium blue) inks available today, but Noodler's.

 

All big brands - like Parker, Sheaffer, Pelikan etc - have spent a little time and money in search of new colors and good inks.

 

Noodler's an other ink brands have gotten that gap.

Nice review, thanks, this is a real nice blue.

And how can this be, because he is the Kwisatz Haderach.

I tested PR American Blue and Noodler's Blue American Eel, and they were quite difficult for me to tell apart. The PR American Blue was just a smidge darker, I think. Both of them were a very pure "true blue", not leaning toward green or purple.

 

I recently got a bottle of plain Noodler's Blue (non-eel), but haven't had a chance to play with it much yet. It does strike me as another "true blue".

Noodler's Blue is water resistant. This is one reason why I'm switching from Eel Blue (which I otherwise like very much) to the regular Noodler's Blue. When soaked, Eel Blue leaves only a very faint cyan stain. Noodler's Blue leaves a much more distinct and legible blue-gray stain. I find it roughly as water resistant as Dark Matter, if not slightly more.

Hurm. I need to run some tests on this, then. I've liked the colour a great deal, but I hadn't thought that it was water resistant. If that's the case, it may find more use in the rotation on my pens.

 

Thanks for the tip !

I agree that it is similar to Namiki blue, though more saturated. Noodler's definitely has more "pop" but I consider the colors very similar in shade. I don't really see turquoise in either one, but neither one has the purple leanings of some inks like Waterman Florida blue.

I just tried a sample of this at work the other day. I spend a lot of time moving around with a clipboard. The paper I use is Clairfontaine 90gm. The dry times with the Noodler's Blue were beyond what I could use. The ink would smear lightly after it has sat on the page for over a minute. This renders it unusable to me. I like the color though.

      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
