on saleNoodler's Cactus Fruit Eel - Ink Sample

oh this ink was buttery smooth. it was such a bright pink yet dark enough to be legible. My gf hates pink but she said this is a very tolerable color so I wrote my breakup letter to her with it. it really does look like prickly pear juice minus all the staining and spines I get on my hands while eating them. I don't purchase pinks alot, but this would definitely be my go to pink in the future because of how amazing it is. I might not buy samples unless I'm recommending this to a friend, but if I buy this in the future it's probably going to be a big bottle of the stuff

This really is a lovely shade of magenta/purple. There's quite a bit of depth to the color and it really does look like you're writing with prickly pear! Flow was steady and even out of my Pilot 92. Only reason for knocking a star off was because the edges of some lines had a tendency to fray using a Mnemosyne notebook. On Rhodia and Tomoe paper though it's near perfect.

This remains at the top of my list of favorite inks. I haven't had any issues with bleed or anything like with some of the Noodler's inks, so it's not super runny. Leaves a crisp line. Absolutely love the color. It might not be the best color for "professional" work, but I sure use it anyway!

Let the title of this review say it all. This luscious ink is absolutely stunning. Lovely lubrication, which my Montegrappa Elmo with a broad nib performs so well with. It's definitely wet, but the delicious color and shading are worth it if you're willing to be patient and give it chance to dry. And it looks fabulous on both my Clairefontaine and Tomoe River paper. Definitely worthwhile trying out this ink. I have no doubt you will also count this as another must- have by Noodler's!

This is a beautiful and saturated ink that really stands out. It is super wet and flows very well. I got a sample and I'm sure I'll buy a bottle of it!
