Hi KCat, your Legal Lapis writing sample looks very true to the actual color. I like LL for writing checks, using it for work, and addressing envelopes. Right now it is in my Pelikan 605 but when it runs out I am going to try it in another pen

[KCat]

I tried the LL in a little knockabout pen I have that is very smooth and a wet writer. Very nice. I think I will feel more comfortable with it being in that pen when I'm out and about than in my M400. Besides, my M400 is missing it's normal diet of DC Blue. :-)

I have been strongly considering this ink. I like the handwritten review.

Hi there chad234,

 

Are you considering it for its colour or its permanency. Did you know that Nathan has said that the Noodler Black has the highest performance in terms of permanence.

Both really, I am looking for a permanant blue ink.

 

My current ink of choice is Private Reserve 2004 DC supershow blue. However, it can not be highlighted over without smudging a bit, and smears at the hint of water.

 

I love a good vibrant blue.

 

While I do like a nice black ink, blue is a beter choice for me, since a blue signature is how I distinguish the Orginal copy of many documents.

 

Any other suggestions on a blue ink from Noodlers would be great, I have heard of different types, Contract, and Aqua marine from Swishers.

 

 

Thanks,

Chad

There is a post on PT today of someone disapointed by his new bottle of Aquamarine, saying that it is less vibrant than it used to be... If that can help...

I wouldn't consider Legal Lapis "vibrant" - it is a blue-black sort of ink though I think it's much denser and a bit "bluer" than traditional blue-black inks. You can add other Noodler's colours to the waterproof inks supposedly. At least some. Samples can be found on at Swisher's site. I did this for grins and it doesn't alter the permanence. it will smear with water droplets though - the non-waterproof ink that is. the waterproof colour stays in place. A complete washing leaves behind the LL colour.

thanks for the advice...

I saw that post on PT, I am sure Nathan of Noodler's will be on that situation. . .

I would not like to be Nathan... each time he improves his inks, someone will say they prefered it before. The only solution is to many 500+ different inks

Indeed - from a niche s/w developing POV - being responsive to your customers, while it earns excellent reputation, is exhausting!

I have been using Swisher/ Noodlers Gulf Stream Blue (very similiar to Legal Lapis) a dark blue K ink.

 

At first, I was unimpressed. The ink looked very washed out, and was dry, almost gummy writing.

 

However, I now love it.

 

I filled 2 freshly cleaned pens, a Namiki VP and a Pelikan 200 with Binder nib, and it writes superb.

 

It dries fairly fast, has nice color and is very waterproof.

thanks Kurt.

 

yeah - some of them have. What happened was I used RS to host them (it was quick and easy) and when RS became an IPB board...

 

so. I will have to take a few minutes and move. sorry.

 

more recent postings should be visible and should show up in my Schwerpunkt web pages.

I am using Legal Lapis right now in my pen, and I must say that I really enjoy the color. and the nice silky feel it writes with.

[jwc]

This is also my ink of choice. I alway have a pen loaded and ready for use.

This is not one of my favorite colors, but the flow characteristics are really something. I loaded a slighly dry Hero 100 flighter with fine nib, and it is a different pen altogether compared with how it felt loaded with Pelikan Royal Blue. It runs a touch wetter and feels a good bit smoother with the Legal Lapis. The color itself is growing on me.

[FLZapped]

This was one of those colors that grew on me. I would describe it as an aquamarine-black ink.
