After having the pleasure of playing with inks at the Noodler's display at the NE Pen Show, I purchased the new GI Green ink.

It goes down almost Emerald green, but after a few hours changes to an almost olive color with an unusual bright orange halo effect around the letters as seen in this second photo.

And here is a timed example of how much the ink color changed over a three hour period. The writing above the "Mon 1:28pm" is from yesterday, to show the full extent of color change. It's pretty cool!

Has anyone else tried this ink and had the same change in color?

The search for the perfect blue ink is a delicious and endless quest...

I find inks which separate into more than one color so very cool. I wish there were more of them.

 

Thanks for including the ink as used in a flex pen -- it's a great test for feathering.

Great review, and a seriously cool colour (or should that be colours?).

 

I have this feeling that I need a bottle of this. I don't see it on the websites of the usual suspects. Anyone know if it's available in the UK?

 

Thanks,

 

Glenn.

I hope someone responds. I've searched all the ones I know of and its' not out there yet I guess. I want to know what other colors are in the series!

I picked up a bottle of the Noodler's V-mail Rabaul Red at the Boston Pen Show yesterday, but haven't found any information on the series yet.

I spoke with Nathan about these inks. He had a typed-up sheet of information on them, but it wasn't out all the time. I think you had to know to ask, and I happened to be standing there when someone asked so I later quizzed him further.

 

No, these inks aren't available in the UK yet - they're not even officially available in the U.S. yet. They are a kind of prototype that Nathan said he was trying out at the NE Pen Show. Based on how they did, and how people like them, he'll figure out whether to offer them.

 

I bought the Midway Blue and I LOVE IT - photos will be up shortly on my blog (within a day or so).

Ahh I wish I had know they were available, I would have paid someone to purchase me a set. My loss I guess. I hope they become a reality I'm very interested in the whole set of inks. (wink wink) if someone has one to sell I'd be up for it!

I was very relieved when I saw the bottle included in the review and noticed the military aircraft. As a physician, GI Green has a very different connotation to me (i.e. gastro-intestinal green)!

 

I am now regretting missing the NE Pen Show...I'll have to be sure to clear the calendar next year!

 

I look forward to seeing the Midway Blue review.

 

Cheers!

Finally he said, "Well, the hours are good..."

..."So the hours are pretty good then?" [Ford] resumed.

The Vogon stared down at him as sluggish thoughts moiled around in the murky depths.

"Yeah," he said, "but now you come to mention it, most of the actual minutes are pretty lousy."

well, as a parent of three boys, that green reminded me of something I used to find in diapers. GastroGreen would be a neat name perhaps???

I would certainly buy that! It would be good for my daily notes.

I normally wouldn't think of this as being one of "my" colors, but I really do like this one. There's something almost metallic looking about it. Perhaps it's the light? Regardless, I will definitely pick up this ink at some point.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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
