Ottoman Azure

Having just about run out of my original bottle of Noodler's black I purchased with my first fountain back in early 2020 (I keep 2 in-the-house daily users.) I work and study for my degree from home (LOTS of writing) plus the learning curve of why I now keep my fountains at home (that was one of my favorite shirts!) So that was my first 3 oz. bottle. Now that I am free of Army regulation for black ink, I wanted to go with a more aesthetically appealing blue yet still keep a semi-formal / professional appearance, thus a darker blue but more blue than blue-black. Ottoman fits the bill quite nicely. Ottoman is a dressy blue, not a bright blue. Almost everything I do is done with a deliberate effect or purpose in mind. In color psychology blue inspires trust, bright is more flamboyant, but subdued is more... grounded. Ink color when writing effects both myself as I write and the reader I am writing to. This Ottoman Azure has that grounded trustworthy, calming emotional pull. As with all the normal Noodlers inks (save the anti-feather) the ink is pretty well dry by the third or fourth line when writing in a common spiral notebook (I go through so many) and keeps a fairly crisp line from a Monte Verde EF nib and slightly feathered from a Lamy F nib. I little bit longer to dry in my planner with better paper as the absorption is slower. Testing on a note I had written about 2 weeks ago; a licked finger and a swipe causes some smudging (only 2.5 characters) The writing with this ink is so smooth. It dries on the nib just a bit faster than the black so I have been learning to recap as I stop to think (this is mostly during essay writing as I formulate my thoughts and when I am composing a final product before typing.) Normal writing is fantastically smooth and those dry spells after contemplation or thought construction are easily fixed by that quick little squiggle off to the side of but only 2-3 zig-zag's in length. I really enjoy this ink. It has been a pleasure to work with and I find the color professional and comfortable to the emotions intended to elicit.

I've never seen an ink like it...

I have enjoyed this ink immensely! It looks great on the page and flows well in my pens. It added some life to several letters I have written recently. All-in-all I am glad I found it.

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
