New Noodlers Bulletproof Ink

March 20, 2006

I just got an email last night from Luxury Brands, the distributer of Noodlers and a few other brands of pens.

I am not really huge on green inks with the exception of PR Sherwood Green, Noodlers Army Green and Waterman Green. This is a perfect ink because it has somewhat the same color and saturation as PR Sherwood Green but with the Bulletproof characteristics and I assume that this will dry fairly quickly like other bulletproof and waterproof Noodlers Inks. One thing that I do not like is the very small amount that they give you for the money. It is only 30ml and you are paying around the same price as you woulf for a 3oz bottle.

Regardless, it is an ink I will look into buying. Although I dont use green that often, I might be using something like this more often. It takes PR Sherwood Green a very long time to dry and I find it one of the most smearable inks on the market. This seems like a wonderful replacement!!!

Check out the link and let me know what you think.

Do you think it will "creep" like some of the other permanent Noodler's colors, or have an odd smell like Luxury Blue (didn't a review here mention a strange smell for that ink?)

It probably will "creep" just like all the other cellulose-reactive Noodler's and Noodler's-for-Swisher inks.

That normally does not bother me one bit. The thing that really bothers me is when I get a cap full of ink. I have high hopes for this ink, I just hope that if it is as good as I think it is, I wish they would make it in larger bottles. I just like to get my money worth!!!

The cellulose-reactive Noodler's "creep" action doesn't bother me either.

About the price: I don't enjoy paying high prices per milliliter for ink, either. I guess Mr. Tardif is trying to keep his cashflow going, and I don't blame him.

I'm starting a new topic about ink prices, manufacturing and the difficulty of getting into major retail channels in "chatter.

I had hoped that the next bulletproof ink wouldn't have been the 1 oz boutique size ink but the full 3 oz'er. I'm sorry it is another speciality volume & price.

Oh well,

Yeah, like I said, I am not too happy about the small amount of ink for the amount of money we have to shell out for it. Oh well, what can you do?? Maybe with enough people whining and sending him emails, maybe he will decided to make it in the 3oz bottles. Hmm Wishful thinking!!! But then again, some manufacturers do listen to what the people want and it never hurts to at least ask!!!
