on saleNoodler's La Reine Mauve - 1oz Bottled Ink

I'm using this ink in a Twisbi Eco pen with a fine nib, and so far, there have been exactly 0 problems :)

A nice shade of purple, although not as distinctive as some of Noodler's offerings. I found this ink while researching all of the water-resistant inks that I could find on the Goulet site. Unlike most of the other water-resistant inks I've tried (including all of the pigmented inks available), several of the Noodler's inks left stubborn stains on my steel nibs and inside of the cartridge converter. This was particularly true for this color (La Reine Mauve), but also the Noodler's "Massachussetts 54th" and "Bad Green Gator" inks. I really wanted to love all three, but they were duller than I'd expected and, as noted, left stubborn stains on all of my pens.

I love the color of this ink. It's a beautiful, saturated purple, and it looks amazing in my new purple Monty Winnfield Highwater. Unfortunately, it's so wet that it ended up on top of the nib and oozing out of the feed, and my writing got broader and broader, to the point where my medium nib looked like a very broad. Also, it dries so fast that if I stopped to think for more than about 10 or 15 seconds, the pen was hard starting. I'm glad I just got an ink sample and not a whole bottle.

Very nice Ink, decently waterproof, enjoy the shade of colour.

This is probably the most wet ink in my collection, but also among the fastest-drying inks. Because it is wet, it tends to bleed through most paper. I had never had any ink swabs bleed through my Muji dotted notebook, but La Reine Mauve's swab AND writing bled through. I used Safari F nib. If you usually write on great paper and would love to have amazing purple ink, this one is for you! Not recommended if you write on bad paper a lot.
