*Originally posted on my Instagram on 5/17/2015. Ink Review: Noodler's Ink, Blue Black. Grade: 75.00%. Paper: Norcom Composition. I got this ink for my mother for Mothers Day. She wanted a dark blue ink to use at work, and she was gracious enough to let me have a vial or two so I could try it out. I know that Blue Black(BB) is a dark blue ink, but I could swear that sometimes I'm looking at a very dark aqua marine. If I had to compare this color to anything, I'd say it reminds me most of that deep blue color that some whales have. Overall, I think it's a very beautiful ink that has a lot of unique color qualities but still retains that "business appropriate" blue color that a lot of people are looking for. Although I will admit that Baystate Blue is my go to ink while at work, this ink isn't too far behind. It's a nice dark blue color that goes on evenly and writes very smoothly. It drys fairly quickly, but I've not had any problems with BB feathering on me in my Kaweco Skyline Sport. What has impressed me most about its performance is that it is very resistant to bleeding through the paper. Which is great considering this is an "office" ink, and as we all know, office paper doesn't usually get along very well with fountain pen ink. So you shouldn't have any trouble writing on both sides of the page. BB is also partially bulletproof. Which when you're talking about a Noodler's ink, means that the black components of the ink will be bulletproof, but the actual color will fade with water or any efforts to remove the ink. Noodler's Blue Black is a great blue ink you can use anywhere and in any office scenario. If you need a blue ink that has bulletproof qualities but don't want to deal with Baystate Blue's cleanup issues, then this ink would be a great choice for you.
