Ink Review: Noodler's Bad Blue Heron

[danieln]

Hi everyone,

Bad Blue Heron is in my opinion an excellent ink. Well behaved, great color and bulletproof. Except the strong odor, which is downright terrible, this is easily one of my top inks.

The image is color corrected with ColorChecker Passport. Enjoy!

Thank you for the review! I own this ink and used it frequently for quite a while. Lately I've been doing reviews so I will have to wait and revisit this ink.

I finally found a pen that Heron works A LOT better in for me, but I still love BBK the most!

 

Your scans seem a bit darker than what I've found with Heron, even when I've put it in a B nib.

 

Also, any paper I've used it on, cheap copy to nicer thick paper, it dries super fast. It's a dry ink to me.

I like BBH and I even like the odor!

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I shouldn't have put it into the Lamy for the review, that's not a broad nib but more likely double broad or a stub!

This was my first ever bottle of ink, so it's special, to me. I only put it in pens that fully break down for cleaning, as it gets kind of dirty after a while in a pen, but I always have it in rotation because the color is such an attractive, unique blue and it has great water resistance.

Ah ok, that probably explains the darker look to me.
