Carmine Suffragist Noodler's

[visvamitra]

Noodler’s is one of the companies that don’t need any introductions. Nathan Tardiff is a legend and his work is well known by fountain pen and ink afficionados. Not everyone is crazy about Noodler’s inks but I enjoy most of the ones I’ve tried so far.

Carmine Suffragist was one of LE inks made for Commonwealth Pen Show in 2016. It can look acceptable on some papers if you enjoy pinks. Sadly this is a bad ink. It feathers on most papers, even on Oxford Optic paper, and for me it's a no go. Maybe you can use this ink for artwork? I just can't get it - all the recent Noodler's inks I tried feather like crazy. It's disturbing.

PS: On Goulet's site there's information it's Goulet's exclusive ink. Maybe someone more knowledgeabole could tell if it was Commonwealth LE or Noodler's exclusive or both?

Seemed to remember that it was a Commonwealth LE and that Goulet was able to source the leftovers, but I could be mistaken. Most definitely not my ink, but a great review as always Vis!

Well, if GPC did have it, they don't seem to now.

Yes, it was an LE ink for last fall's Commonwealth Pen Show. I'm sorry I wasn't able to make it this time around -- I would *definitely* have bought this ink. And if it feathers? Well, so does BSB (or at least my bottle of it does) -- but I buy gallon jugs of distilled water, and a few drops in a fill should combat any feathering issues.

I had no feathering on the Mohawk via Linen, the inkjet paper, or on Tomoe River using an Edison Premiere with medium nib.

Vis, I had no feathering when I used it. It was made to replicate an ink used by the first suffragist voters in Massachusetts. I really liked the ink. Your sample came from me from the show, but from a different bottle (but the same bottle as White Lotus' sample).
