Another of the 2016 LE inks by Noodler's from the Commonwealth Pen Show.

 

This is a totally waterproof ink. A nice soft, vintage blue. Fast-drying on more absorbent papers. Even on Rhodia, mostly dry in 5 seconds. Totally unobtanium. So I'm very happy that someone sent me a generous sample. Thank you inky friend! The flow is really good in this ink, and I like it.

 

Pen: Edison Premiere (F-steel)

Papers: MvL=Mohawk via Linen, TR=Tomoe River, Hij=Hammermill 28 lb inkjet, Rhodia=Rhodia 90g ivory.

Camera: iPhone 7

Too bad this was an LE ink. It seems to be a really nice color. And I remember the discussions when Liberty's Elysium came out as to whether it was really waterproof or only water resistant. Clearly Nathan has solved the "waterproof but still vibrant/non-chalky" issue. But only as an LE ink.... :(

Thanks for the review. Even if it is "unobtanium"....

Well I have to say this isn't vibrant like Liberty's Elysium. I like the look of the ink. I don't know if I'd call it chalky or not. But that's another aspect of Noodler's inks that has never bothered me.

If you have seen Upper Ganges Blue, you'd know what "chalky" means.... :(

I don't mind inks that are matte finish, rather than vibrant. But chalky inks just look weird to me -- as if they're really dry, even if they aren't.

Noodlers Luxury Blue was/is chalky. Northstar Liberator is definitely NOT chalky.

I really like this one. Did you compare it to Monkey Hanger?

 

Thank you, White Star for these great reviews.

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

Interesting that your North Star Liberator is lighter than Monkey Hanger. Mine is the other way around.

It could be that I was using an even wetter pen.

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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

      There is still chemistry for processing regular chrome (positive) films like Kodak Ektachrome and Fuji Velvia, but Kodachrome was a completely different and multistep beast.

      Ah, but how to get it processed - that is the question. I believe that the last machine able to run K-14 (Kodachrome processing) ceased to operate some 15 or so years ago. Perhaps the film will be worth something as a curiosity in my estate sale when I die. 😺

      Take a lot of photos!   If the film has deteriorated or 'gone off' in any way, you can use that as a 'feature' to take 'arty' pictures - whether of landmarks, or people, or whatever.
