Noodler's Green Marine

[Iziem]

This time it's Noodler's Green Marine. In a nutshell (for those who can't read my handwriting, plus some information), it's a very 'green' green that really stands out from your standard office pen. It has the general Noodlers attributes: some nib creep, nice saturated color and it can write on the wet side. It mixes well and has some protection to it, despite the fact that it's not bulletproof. It fades underwater as if it has some bulletproof qualities but it loses it's color to a washed out green-gray. It's not supposed to be the great bulletproof ink Noodler's produces, but it's very kind to spills on a college notebook. It's nice to write and draw with, but I maintain that true for most fountain pen inks.

 

The handwriting doesn't look as nice in my 'note-taking' print, but it's easier to read than in cursive script. I cropped the image and cleaned it up a bit. The colors are very close on my LCD monitor. It's composed of several pages cropped together, since I included the wet examples. I also tacked on the word 'many' on the top at the original resolution to show the shading. Any requests to be tested or conflicting opinions are welcome. After all, multiple perspectives make for more useful reviews.

Thanks for the review. Looks like a nice ink to use.

 

Can you please comment on whether it stains you pen? Have you tried using it in an ink converter or Lamy Safari? I'm concerned about staining.

 

Many thanks.
