Noodler’s Squeteague - A shading ink


yazeh

Recommended Posts

Thanks @JungleJim for providing such a delightful ink 
Just check the chroma:

Squeteague is a first nation name for Weakfish, native to the North Eastern Coast of North Amercia. The colour of this ink is inspired by the teals colour of the spots found on its head and back.

This is a delightful ink for those who enjoy dark teals with shading and who don’t care for very long dry times, or use blotters. 

 

Ink has decent water resistance....

Another nice review, @yazeh!  (I did feel kinda sorry for poor Mr. Fishy-out-of-water...)  It looks good contrasted with SBRE Brown.  And I love that shading. :)  Is it just me, or is there purple in that thar chromatogram?  Thanks for the review.

Thanks Liz. There is indeed a touch of purple. Unlike Baystate, this is truly complex. :D  Maybe would EF nibs, it'll have a better dry time. :(

:) Never considered trying chroma with BSB - it probably wouldn't show a thing - the same line / dot you started with.  Nearly everything has better dry times from EF nibs. ;)

And/or check reviews and get the ones that are well-behaved - there are at least some, and possibly many. :)

Beautiful review - I enjoyed it. The ink’s colour looks tempting, seems to shift from teal to green-black. Being named after a fish, the long drying times seem to be fitting 😉 

Brilliant! So true! I never though of that

Awesome review! This is one of my favorite colors from Noodler's. The shading, performance and color are all some of the best in the Noodler's line.

Also, love the Leonard Cohen 😀

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..
    • A Smug Dill
      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
