This is a good baby blue ink. The official name is American Eel Turquoise from Noodler's Ink. I'm delighted with this ink's colour.

It looks significantly darker than baby blue. I would call it true blue, or royal blue, but it's nice.

The voice of this guitar of mine, at the awakening of the morning, wants to sing its joy;

I sing to your volcanoes, to your meadows and flowers, that are like mementos of the greatest of my loves;

If I am to die away from you, may they say I am sleeping, and bring me back home.

Your writing is awesome and I appreciate this great review!

 

Zquilts, thanks for the compliments. An edge pen has its merits. :)

 

Great Review!! Awesome writing!!!

 

Michael W, thank you for your remarks. I have a few more bottles of different inks I have yet to get around to reviewing. I'll have those inks done shortly and it's a surprise. :)

Kabe, choice of terms can be very subjective from one individual to another individual. Here's my argument: do a google search for the term "baby blue" under the "Image" section of the google search. You can now compare images google has under the term "baby blue" to my review of the American Eel Turquoise. Now do a search for your term "royal blue" under the "image" section of google. As you will notice, royal blue is much darker in the images from the google search than compared to my review of the American Eel: Turquoise. Personally, whatever name you or I give this American Eel Turquoise ink, we can agree on one thing. It's another wonderful ink to add to OUR writing experiences. :thumbup:

Are Noodler's eel series ink really effective in lubricating the pen's piston seal without adverse effects on the rest of the pen?

Wow, I had not even considered that this ink could be waterproof. Now I can use it for my construction notebook. I have it in a Pelikan 205 with a replacement gold F nib. It puts out a wet fine to medium line. I find dry time a bit slow on a rhodia notebook, but am otherwise quite happy with it. The Pelikan is new--so the piston worked really smoothly already. I will say that the Pelikan 400 that it replaced (lost it) had gotten quite stiff over the years (about 15). I used to use Penman ink in it.

Whoa, I don't think this ink is waterproof at all. I tried a few fills from my sister's bottle and while it is a great, bright colour, it's not really very waterproof. I might stretch it and say it's moderately water-resistant... eh- well, never mind, not really. It holds up for a few seconds, but after about a minute in water, it looses 99% of it's colour.

      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
