on saleNoodler's Cactus Fruit Eel - 3oz Bottled Ink

Cactus Fruit is a wonderfully intense ink. The color is more than attractive, it's like a beautiful girl, you just can't take your eyes off it.

I bought this for the color without noticing that it was a "lubricated" ink, which I think is a first for me. I absolutely love the purplish magenta color, and it writes incredibly smoothly. I have this in a TWSBI Eco Fine, and it writes as well as anything I have ever used in my nascent fountain pen experience. Highly recommended.

This is a great ink.. It's, like a lot of Noodlers inks, pretty flat in terms of shading. I think if it were dryer, it would shade more. But who wants that. This ink is deep and flows well and it's the only one of the ultra-saturated-outrageously-coloured noodlers inks that i've tried which behaves like Quink.. It's very easy to clean and is super well behaved- It writes and acts like an unsaturated ink, but look at the dang shade! I could actually see putting this in a pen with an aerometric convertor, or a vacumatic.. Or a lever filler! I did an at-home test of the ph of this ink but the testing strip came out magenta.... That's not even on the chart :p .. Seriously though, this one of a handful of bright inks that I feel safe leaving untouched in a demonstrator for 6 months. I wish Noodlers would make more inks in this vein. Black Walnut, as lovely as it is, etched the metal plating on one of my vintage nibs in just a few minutes..

Dazzling on a Canadian page. The u in colour really pops!

This is a gorgeous color it writes beautifully as well it only feathers on cheap copy paper I can even use it on a mead composition book which we all know is notoriously bad for fountain pen inks it is wet most definitely but wax bleed through of most sort and my only gripe with it is the fact that it has such a high smearing capability but that is a sacrifice that we need to make for such a good noodlers ink.
