Enjoy! Very wet flow with this ink!

Water test!! Certainly readable after several minutes of soaking...

nice!

I like the closeup shots, they really show the colour differences much better than a full page picture.

Henry---If you have a red that leans a bit toward blue (not orangey), you can add a bit to the Navy to make it darker and cancel out most of the green cast.

i do have some Noodlers red. maybe I'll add some.

Try just a bit at first, 10 drops of navy and one of red, test, add another drop of red, test again. That way you're not out much if you don't like the result. Something like Arabian Rose, or Saguaro Wine might work better, because they already have a strong blue component, but if NR is all you have, give it a try, and report back! It's always fun to experiment.

Thanks for the review! It's always nice to have a few wet inks in the collection.

If only the Midnight Blue were waterproof. (Sad face.)

 

Thanks for the ink comparisons!

Great color but, in my experience, this ink has lead to severe nib creep.

[AlejoPlay]

In my experience, a great color, but a terribly behaved ink. In some pens it just never seems to dry. It tends to do better in finer nibs like my Fine VP, but then I can barely see the color.

Instead of trying to remove the green color, I consider Noodler's Navy as a very dark green.

I liked it like this.

Yeah, the Noodler's line is usually pretty wet; I've yet to find a dry color in the bunch.

Midnight Blue is dry-ish, in my experience.

Noodler's Apache Sunset is quite dry, much more so than similar colours like the Habeñero which flows well.

Very nice color.

[tnmike1]

got my bottle recently and must say (1) find no nib creep as others have reported and (2) have very little shading in either a Pelikan with "M" nib or a vintage Sheaffer. Had originally bought a sample from Pear Tree and that shaded well and was quite blue. This batch is tneding toward the greenish side of things.

 

O well--still love it, just can't see the pronounced shading others have reported

Noodlers Navy is my favorite ink - there is just something about the color that speaks to me.

Absolutely minimal nib creep on a Visconti medium nib modified by Michael Masuyama to a stub, ink all over the place with a Parker 75. I credit that to the feed differences (my 75 has the old-style straight feed). As for the shading, much more with printing than with monoline writing (although all inks seem to be this way for me), more shading with the stub than with a round nib. This is definitely one of my favorite inks for business use.
