My Noodlers black test.

[Schuttwegraeumer]

Ok, its a strange test.

I testet the Ink with a wet Finger and a smooth paper.

 

I am a radio amateur and i think QSL cards should be for ethernity.

If the writing paper is smooth you can do such effect with dry finger too.

 

My iron gall inks like the Salix or Lamy BB have a black dye that is really waterproof and not moveable with soft mechanicle stress.

 

I use a wet pen like the M200 and the writing is polluting the other pages that have contact with this ink.

Its like a pigment ink.

 

Is this ink really bullet proof?

If it is very glossy paper, with a plastic layer covering it, the ink does not stain the paper, and all noodlers will smear and erase.

[Schuttwegraeumer]

On my writing paper i can smear the ink with dry or wet fingers.

And this is not a glossy paper.

Should i thinn this ink?

And i other sheets have contact to a used sheet of paper the ink will pollute this paper.

Its like a font india or another carbon black ink.

Noodler's waterproof inks react with cellulose. If there's any kind of coating on the paper or if the paper isn't cellulose, the reactive agent in the ink cannot bond with it. Sounds like that's what's going on here.

[Schuttwegraeumer]

If I write on normal writing paper its easy to smear the writing.

It seems that most pf the dye dont react with the paper and its more like graphite or carbon black und you get black finger if you rubbing with your dry finger on it.

iron gall ink react complete with Oxigen, the part that dont have contact to the paper too.

Nooderls black ist good for soaking paper but a lot of paper types are to glossy.

No, its not a coatet Paper.

Its a normal Card like a Postcard without the coatet Photo.

Normal Inks or my Salix or Lamy BB are good on this paper, the backside is less smooth than the front of this card.

Hi,

 

You might want to dilute the ink a little.

Thats maybe a solution.

Or is the M200 to wet for the Noodlers black?

[sonia_simone]

I've used Noodler's bulletproof black in many very wet writers without that problem, fwiw.

[fjf]

Yes, me too. Either the ink is defective, or it is the wrong type of paper. If it happens with all papers, it must be the ink, then. Get another bottle.

I have the same problems as described with the Noodler's black ink.

Used with Avery, Moleskine, Filofax and other different papers the dry ink smears if touched or highlighted.

It also rubs off shades on the opposite page if used in a book.

I just tried it dry on an Ampad #18050 pad and everything was fine. Wet, it smeared a little, but closer examination also revealed the surface of the paper being damaged by the wet rubbing.

 

In my experience, most card stock is treated in some way.
