Today I picked up 4 of the 5 exclusive inks from Noodler's made for Dromgoole's. Not bad colors at all! The inks are as follows:

Texas Pecan

Texas Live Oak

Texas Blue Bonnet

The Alamo's Twilight

Texas Black Bat

 

To sample the inks, I used a cheapie Sheaffer with a M calligraphy nib. First time I've used it too.

 

Let me know what y'all think:

Thank you for the compliment. The Blue Bonnet is a very nice shade of blue. A great addition to my Sonic and American Blues :)

Nice lineup! Every time I see a post with Live Oak, it's gorgeous. Might have to break down and order a bottle one of these days.

Nino,

Glad to see you again Tuesday. I also have the inks you tested. I like all of them. I don't have a "black light" anymore so I can't get the full benefit of Alamo Twilight. Texas BB is a fave. I always have something loaded with it. Texas Pecan is a great brown.But,as I posted elsewhere, Texas Live Oak makes me crazy. I love the colour but no matter what pen I put in into and/or what paper I use it bleed and spiderwebs terribly. Maybe I got a bad bottle as your test looks Ok. I may give it another try. You have given me hope. Probably see you again at Larry and Willie's.

Ooooh, I want some. Have you had any luck buying online? Do you have a phone number if not a website? And what's this about black light????

Fountain pens are my preferred COLOR DELIVERY SYSTEM (in part because crayons melt in Las Vegas).

Updating with 2 new inks: Noodler's Tanned Armadillo which is a Dromgoole exclusive for the Dallas Pen Show 2012. It is ph balanced and a durable ink. Also here is the Noodler's Comanche Rouge. Comanche Rouge is supposed to be reminiscent of one of the rivers here in Texas. I think it was either one of the battles or the Red River. I can't remember what Nathan's explanation was for it exactly, so I apologize for that. It is also supposed to look pink on very white paper, red on most others, and it should also reach a third shade. Once I brush up on it, I will update. Both are a one time run. After these are gone, they're gone. The materials are no longer available, so Noodler's will not be able to make anymore. I guess all I can say is get it while the gettin' is good.

The CR came out looking very orange in this scan. In person, it's a pinkish color on my Rhodia 5x5.

Those new colors are looking good - I'm sorta kicking myself for not picking some up today while I was at Dromgoole's :headsmack:

Currently using:Too many pens inked to list, I must cut back! :) I can guarantee there are flighters, urushi, and/or Sheaffer Vac-fillers in the mix!!!

I figured you did. They are pretty nice. I just loaded my Visconti with the Tanned Armadillo. I already wrote with a barrel of Rome Burning...I'm enjoying the pen. Review to come.

Dude, I loved your pens!!

Thanks! I ended up stocking up on the french-ruled Clairfontaine - I love that paper. I have my fingers crossed that Larry brings some of that Tanned Armadillo back from the Dallas show...if I would have known that no more was being made, I would have skipped on the paper and grabbed the ink. I may come in and get some when I drop by for the Wednesday event.

 

I really wanted to pick up that Parker "51" set, but it's not in the budget for a while, so I have to hope that no one else is feeling like vintage for a little while when they go to Dromgoole's :ninja:

 

Speaking of loving a pen, that Samourai is looking really great; it was awesome to see it in person!

Supposedly under a black light the Alamo Twilight sparkles. At least that's what Larry and Willie said.

How does Comanche compare to Dragon's Napalm?

How does Comanche compare to Dragon's Napalm?

I'll do a test for you if you like. I don't know off the top of my head though. If I can get to the store today, I should be able to do it tomorrow. I think that Dragon's Napalm is more of an orange where Comanche Rouge varies different shades of red/pink depending on paper.

Here is a review someone did on DN. After looking at it, I do recall the color more or less.

 

Hope that helps,

Nino

I found out yesterday that it's supposed to have a blue/yellow tint to it. It's to mimic flames.

GREAT!! I couldn't find the right words to expalin it to the forum. and I don't ahve ablack light anymore. Some of the problem is that hte mane of the inkisn't Alamo Twilight which would make you thing of the late evening. It's ALAMO'S Twilight which to me indicates the latter stages of the seige before the fall when it was on fire. Did Larry/Willie tell you?

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      @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
