You're even anticipating my questions -- as I was looking at your review, I was wondering how this ink would compare with Florida Blue. Then, in the last line, you tell me.

 

Thank you for the review,

 

Peter

Artists think in terms of which direction on the color wheel the color in question leans to. For blue, on the warm side (warm = yellow, orange, red) there is violet [red plus blue], on the cool side is green (blue, green). Ottoman Azure leans slightly in the green direction, would be close to the pigment known as cerulean blue. Navajo Turquoise is greener still. These would be considered cool blues. Florida blue would lean the opposite direction, toward violet, which would be closer to the pigment ultramarine, a relatively warmer blue (though blue itself is the ultimate cool color, all things are relative, thus you can have both cool and warm blues).

 

Ottoman Azure is a lovely ink, an nice contrast to the many warmer blues that lean toward violet (red).

I really like this ink. It is my favorite Noodler's and my favorite blue at this point. One of the things I like is that there seems to be very little nib creep with it (which some of my other Noodler's exhibit.) it also seems to have less tendency to bleed through with most papers than the other Noodler's I have. My final reason for liking this ink is that it seems (IMO) to match the blue stripes on my Pelikan M805 very nicely. A small point, but an added bonus!

      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
