Hi all,

 

I thought every Noodler was more or less waterproof?

I got two bottles of Noodler's ink the other day:

one black & one Habanero. The Black behaves nicely,

my old Shah's Rose as well.

 

But the Habanero most certainly is not waterproof, it washes

off in seconds. Grumpf.

 

Has anybody seen a list of which are "safe" and which are

washable?

 

Sincerely,

Claes in Lund, Sweden

Hi Claes,

 

actually most Noodler are NOT waterproof. Only the ones explicitely presented as such are. Black, several blues, depending on exclusive vendors, one brown at Pendemonium too I think, and may be a few other.

I'd say a lot of the browns are pretty close to waterproof. Even if they are not expressly designed to be. But as Denis pointed out - it's only those sold as waterproof that you should count on for that feature. Pendemonium has Legal Lapis, Swisher has several waterproof colors, and i think Art Brown??? has a Waterproof Noodler's similar to Legal Lapis.

Ok, waterproof Noodler's:

 

Standard Black - a black black

Swisher's Aquamarine Blue - fairly light blue, with blue-blackish undertones

Swisher's Devil Red - red

Swisher's Gulf Stream Blue - light blue black

Swisher's Hellbender Red - light purple

Swisher's Verdun Green - medium green

Art Brown's Legal Blue - teal blue

Pendemonum's Legal Lapis - dark? teal blue

Pendemonium's Eternal Brown - medium brown

Pendemonium's Iraqi Indigo - very dark purplish? blue?

 

The colours are mostly interpretation from samples I have seen. From these inks I only own Standard Black and Legal Blue.

 

I think Polar Black is also waterproof, but I am not 100% sure.

 

Kind regards, Wim

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
