Black Swan In Australian Roses

[gregamckinney]

I see one report above of no staining, but I thought I'd check in now that folks have been using this ink for a while.

I have only had it in my Pelikan M1000, so it is hard to tell if it is staining much.

However, I had a dilute mix (about 1.5 water : 1 ink) in a Nalgene bottle for about 5 days, and it has left a dark blackish-purple stain on the bottle.

 

Any other experience, good or bad, with this ink and staining?

 

Thanks!

I recently received (thanks, farseer911) a bottle of Noodler's Black Swan in Australian Roses. Here's a writing sample, on Rhodia Dotpad No 19 paper:

I just receive a sample of this ink. The color is great but I am getting a lot of feathering on regular computer paper. Anyone getting the some thing?

Want want want!

I use 24lb/90gsm 50% recycled paper from Staples and have no problems with feathering. Maybe your paper is just a bit too thin?

Hey Joey, this thread got bumped and it got me thinking...

 

One of the things that your review shows is how much an ink can 'change' depending upon the pen (nib) with which it is used. I wouldn't be surprised if you showed those three samples to a non-FP person and they might think there were three different inks at work.

 

Since you mention you were doing this with a sample, a question: did you actually load up each pen with ink, or were you just dipping the nib/feed in the sample to get enough ink to write with? I've been doing a lot of ink sampling lately, but am leaning more towards dipping a regular pen (not a dip pen) rather than filling up an eyedropper or convertor.

 

Still love your sample page!

If I get this ink, will my penmanship be as good as yours??? Both the ink and the handwriting are beautiful - thank you for the review.

It was your review that convinced me to get this ink a while back. It's such a lovely ink, and your review is excellent! I prefer how it looks in a wet-writer- in my drier pens it's not so saturated, but it's incredible in my Perla.

 

I have to agree with the sentiment that if only buying the ink resulted in such lovely handwriting.....

 

Thanks for the review and the gorgeous handwriting. Even my completely non-fp/calligraphy/handwriting interested husband (who peeks over my shoulder once in a while) is amazed by your handwriting!

Thanks! :embarrassed_smile:

 

I used ink from a mostly full bottle of BSAR that I bought from farseer911. All the pens were filled and used normally, after a thorough flushing to make sure there was no trace of earlier inks.
