Noodler's Ink King Philip Requiem

[lgsoltek]

I like this one. It's vibrant and rich. Dry time is a bit long.

R&K Solferino is quite similar, but brighter, with sheen. It remains my favourite purple ink.

Well, depending on the nib and paper final effect may vary. In my samples it will appear much more bland but I still think it's quite interesting ink.

When I got this, I didn't use the Charlie eyedropper that came with it -- instead, I put it in the King Philip Purple FPC that was my first Noodler's pen. It's very bright, but I also had feathering and bleed through on less than ideal paper.

Thanks for the review.

Ok I just googled and can't find this one for sale. Is it exclusive somewhere?

I believe it was an exclusive for a pen show some time ago

Yes, from the 2015 Commonwealth Pen Show in Boston. Totally unobtainium.

Solferino all the way for me...

Along with my hopes of obtaining this! Maybe Nathan will see this and have pity on us. One can hope, right?

In the videos for these inks, Mr. Tardif says they're limited edition because he can't get these dyes any longer, or in the quantities Noodler's would purchase, or at their price point. So no, we won't see this particular ink ever again.

I loved this ink. I love love love it. I know it's not perfectly behaved. But it's waterproof and not chalky. Thank you LG for the review.
