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.

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      @asota -- Yeah, I think I have a few rolls in my fridge that are probably 20-30 years old at this point (don't remember now if they are B&W or color film) and don't even really know where to get the film processed, once the drive through kiosks went away....  I just did a quick Google search and (in theory) there was a place the next town over from me -- but got a 404 error message when I tried to click on the link....  Ruth Morrisson aka inkstainedruth
