Noodler's Navy

[abadr]

Hello there!

 

This is my very first post here, and I thought I'd start by attempting to contribute So please forgive my amateur review.

 

Here's Noodler's Navy (with a guest appearance from Dragon's Napalm).

 

It's a really wet ink - in my Lamy Medium at least. Yet it does not bleed through the paper (Rhodia anyway!)

 

Hope you enjoy.

Welcome to FPN - nice review!

 

I just discovered this ink recently, as part of my PTP sampler and I love it. To me it looks like a non-fading Quink Blue-black, which I would use all the time if it didn't fade so much. It's behaved well on cheap notebook filler paper, even with a wet nib. I like it better than Legal Lapis, my previous favorite in this color family, and it seems to behave a little better. Nice review of a great ink, thanks.

I love this ink. Is Legal Lapis a similar color? (I can never quite tell from scans.)

[limesally]

In my pens and paper, Legal Lapis is greener than Noodler's Navy, and LL flows a bit wetter. But they don't look the same to me at all.

 

Deidre, here at FPN has a really great scan of the blue/blue green family of Noodler's inks. I think the difference shows up in her scan. It shows up in real life, anyway.

Thanks for the review! Both colors are gorgeous. Now I just have to dig out my pen filled with red ink to use at work here.

Thanks for the review. It looks like a nice colour (and a bit like Aircorp Blue-Black, but without the green).
