I realized when I was preparing this review that I really like ink. A lot. I think that it is generally really cool stuff to use. But I do not think that I like to write reviews. I have a hard time coming up with ways to express what the ink is doing for me. Maybe it is better put to say that I have a hard time expressing what the ink will do for YOU. So, ymmv.

 

Napalm is a cool ink. It's a good one to have in your arsenal, as you never know when you might need it. What is it? It is different. I agree with penguinmaster that it does not really live up to its hype, but it is still a cool ink.

 

A few things:

The color is unique, but I think that sometimes it looks too pink. Napalm should never be pink.

The ink takes a long time to dry (in the pens that I used it in).

The shading is nice, and you can vary the amount of shading with a few techniques (speed, flow, etc).

Feathering and bleeding? Minimal.

I have no connection to Noodler's, other than loving the ink. And no connection to Jetpens, other than getting the ink from them.

Very high saturation and contrast.

Blessed are they that do his commandments, that they may have right

to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city.

For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers,

and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. Revelation 22:14-15

It's one of my favorite inks. I use it for puzzles and the occasional letter.

      On my second trip to Japan in seven months, while the going is good

      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

      My notes and advice on fountain pen cleaning

      By inkstainedruth · Posted

      @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
