Noodlers Omaha Brown

[jj9ball]

This is an ink review of Omaha Brown which is a color that Nathan developed for our store. I'm usually a blue guy myself... pilot iroshizuku kon peki may be the best color ever... but this brown is starting to grow on me. I tried to give it the best review I could. Truthfully, I'm pretty low maintenance when it comes to what I want out of an ink. I usually just want low feathering, quick drying, and minimal (preferably none) bleedthrough. This ink accomplishes all of those things quite well. I have included a page with comparisons of several other similar colors out there. Hopefully this gives everyone a good frame of reference for the color shade. Comments and questions are always appreciated.

The ink can be found at www.jandjwooddesigns.com

Thanks for the nice review. The red undertone is well done IMO. Hard to work out as an ink... not to much, not too little red. Sort of a mahogany (not knowing whether or not that is what you might have had in mind,,,).

I see the drying times and wonder if this is considered a waterproof ink?

[Fuzzy_Bear]

Is there any other way to buy? I don't do eBay.

Thank you for the interest. If you send me a private message I would be happy to get you a bottle.

As I was messing around with it I was having a hard time getting it to wash away with water. I am going to get in touch with my supplier and see if I can get a list of Noodlers properties as it pertains to the ink. I will post them as soon as I have them.

Mike,

Thanks for the feedback. Truth is I didn't have anything in mind except the geographic connection to Nebraska. Nathan developed the rest and I agree... its not to bad for a brown.

[Jackokun]

I think this is a fabulous brown

[fugel]

A really nice brown. I will give it a try soon.

[PaganArcher]

I absolutely love it. Got my bottle end of last week and it's since become a daily ink in my medium nibbed Eco.

Thanks for the review. Not a brown for me, though. I don't much care for the ones that lean red.

Still, it must be really exciting to have an exclusive in all your very own. Congratulations.

_{Here is an update on all the ink properties for Nooclers Omaha. First let me start by asking if anybody has ever asked their spouse where they wanted to eat. Did your spouse reply "I don't really know" or " I don't really care"? Then when you got done with supper and you asked them if they liked it did they shrug and say "kinda"? I sorta feel like that is where this ink fits with all the properties that Noodlers lists for its ink Here it goes}

 

_{Waterproof - Partially}

_{UV/Bleach Resistant - Partially}

_{Archival Fade Resistant - Partially}

_{Impervious to lasers, solvents, and ideal for security documents - Partially}

_{Glows under UV - No}

_{Lubricated - No}

_{Freeze resistant/ Polar - No}

 

_{There ya have. When asked about its properties you can think of my example above and say uhhhhh "kinda". In my own experience I was having a heck of a time washing the ink off the paper... but I didn't soak it. My guess is that if you soaked it, the ink would come off the paper. Hopefully this helps everyone out who had questions on it. It can still be found at www.jandjwooddesigns.com}

Great to hear. I'm happy you like it.

Many thanks, as always, to barkingpig for the sample. It's a nice brown ink, but almost a perfect copy of J. Herbin's pretty Terre de Feu ["Tierra del Fuego" = "Land of Fire"].

 

[noddle]

Nice saturation, I like the look of it.

[Fuzzy_Bear]

I see two different colors in two different reviews.

[HalloweenHJB]

Paper, pen, lighting all play a role in how it looks in a photo. But to me, based on the comparison I see in real life, the Omaha ink is an almost identical sibling to Terre de Feu.

[Fuzzy_Bear]

OP seems to be more chocolate and second scan seems to be more red.

[OPG4711]

Hmmm... looks VERY similar to Noodler's Subway Sepia (a great ink, IMO!).

[Jackokun]

I really like this ink -
