Thanks very much for the review. How would you say this ink compares to FPN's Van Gogh Starry Night Blue?

Aloha-Henry-Louis...

 

Nice.

Words in Pictures seem to speak more than words, this review follows the spirit of this saying....

Cool perspectives, great Photos, some nice ink....

 

Thanks for sharing, and by the way, a nice rounded handwriting, you must have trained awhile.

Well, I actually bought it as a replacement to the FPN Starry night blue. It is a bit lighter and more blue than the Starry night blue.

 

I posted a comparison of the two along with two other inks here:

Thanks very much for the comparison...it makes things very obvious.

Thanks, I never found my handwriting that appealing actually... But I'm trying to write more and more in cursive. I don't write in print anymore, unless it's to label something.

nice review, it would be a good ink for school. you do have nice handwriting, just to let you know...

[BobR]

Very good review and pictures, thanks. This is one of my favorite Noodler's inks. Great flow and performance in all my pens.

[woodworker]

woooow great color indeed!

I really like Midnight Blue and ahve it in mygo-to Mont Blanc. It is close to a blue-black without the gray shading(at least to my eye). Plus it looks good on most any colour of paper that I have.

Yeah, I like it. But it's somehow different from a regular blue... probably that teal undertone.

This looks darker than PR Midnight Blues. What do you think?

I haven't tried Midnight blues, but I do know this dries quickly wheras Midnight blues had to have a fast-dry version made... and that feathers. So this is a well behaved ink.

[HenryLouis]

I'm not sure about this but I also think Noodler's is cheaper per mL than PR.

Any chance you could do a water test, Henry? I'd be interested in seeing what happens to this ink under a tap for a few seconds. I find notecards are great for this sort of test, highly portable and fit right under the faucet!

Thanks for the great review, and comparison shot of the 4 different blues in your other post. I don't mind the Midnight Blue (has some nice shading), but will definitely stay with the FPN Van Gogh Starry Night. (Your handwriting is very legible btw.) Take care.

Here's the water test... It's not a very water-resistant ink.

After 5 Minutes submerged under water... I believe the starry night blue's water resistance was due to it's saturation.

Yep, Noodler's Midnight Blue was my replacement. The FPN van gogh was much darker. Thanks.

Thanks a bunch for the water test, Henry! Great review and ink, just doesn't quite meet my needs.

Nice color,I'm just wondering how this color is different from PR midnight blues it is a very attractive color like a blue-black,I really like it...
