Noodler's Navy

Recommended Posts

Hello there!

 

This is my very first post here, and I thought I'd start by attempting to contribute :) So please forgive my amateur review.

 

Here's Noodler's Navy (with a guest appearance from Dragon's Napalm).

 

It's a really wet ink - in my Lamy Medium at least. Yet it does not bleed through the paper (Rhodia anyway!)

 

Hope you enjoy.

Good review! Thank you.

Welcome to FPN - nice review!

 

I just discovered this ink recently, as part of my PTP sampler and I love it. To me it looks like a non-fading Quink Blue-black, which I would use all the time if it didn't fade so much. It's behaved well on cheap notebook filler paper, even with a wet nib. I like it better than Legal Lapis, my previous favorite in this color family, and it seems to behave a little better. Nice review of a great ink, thanks.

In my pens and paper, Legal Lapis is greener than Noodler's Navy, and LL flows a bit wetter. But they don't look the same to me at all.

 

Deidre, here at FPN has a really great scan of the blue/blue green family of Noodler's inks. I think the difference shows up in her scan. It shows up in real life, anyway.

Thanks for the review. It looks like a nice colour (and a bit like Aircorp Blue-Black, but without the green).

      Oh to have that translucent pink Prera! @migo984 has the Oeste series named after birds. There is a pink one, so I’m assuming Este is the same pen as Oeste.    Excellent haul. I have some Uniball One P pens. Do you like to use them? I like them enough, but don’t use them too much yet.    Do you or your wife use Travelers Notebooks? Seeing you were at Kyoto, I thought of them as there is a store there.

      It's not nearly so thick that I feel it comprises my fine-grained control, the way I feel about the Cross Peerless 125 or some of the high-end TACCIA Urushi pens with cigar-shaped bodies and 18K gold nibs. Why would you expect me or anyone else to make explicit mention of it, if it isn't a travesty or such a disappointment that an owner of the pen would want to bring it to the attention of his/her peers so that they could “learn from his/her mistake” without paying the price?

      Why nobody says that the section of Tuzu besides triangular shape is quite thick. Honestly it’s the thickest one among my many pens, other thick I own is Noodler’s Ahab. Because of that fat section I feel more control and my handwriting has improved. I can’t say it’s comfortable or uncomfortable, but needs a moment to accommodate. It’s funny because my school years are long over. Besides this pen had horrible F nib. Tines were perfectly aligned but it was so scratchy on left stroke that collecte

      Awesome! I'm in the process of preparing my bag for our pen meet this weekend and I literally have none of the items you mention!! I'll see if I can find one or two!

      @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
