Customer Reviews
I originally got this in a sample pack and instantly fell in love with it. To me it's the perfect "green green", if that makes sense at all. The ink itself flows smoothly and dries quickly. Highly recommend Noodler's ink and especially this color if you looking for a nice balanced tone green.
This is a standout color, bright, vibrant, and ready to write all the time, every time. I use it in my LAMY Safari which makes ink and pen ultra dependable.
This ink flows smoothly from my Diplomat Aero with fine nib. It's a perfect intense green shade and there's very little feathering and bleed through on cheap copy paper. On better quality paper I feel like I'm writing with emeralds.
Perfect green ink: vivid but not garish, and the writing is smooth. I have not compared it to the non-eel ink (yet), but so far so good. I find myself writing more just because I like the look and feel of the ink so much. I use it for my work... It is fun but still professional.
This was a gift and today it was opened and used. The ink is green but with a yellow edge to it. When it is wet it is a darker shade of green but as it dries it looks like the sample that is shown on the Goulet website. He is happy with the color. And the bottle is FULL so open it on a counter protected by a towel or something or in the sink!
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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!
