Awful

The WORST ink ever. Using Goulet pen flush to try to get this garbage out of a brand new Kaweco. I have been disappointed by Noodler's inks before, so I don't know why I thought this would be any different, but this one was my last mistake. Never again. If I could set this on fire for revenge, I would. Actually, I might try because it smells like it will burn! YUCK!

My first Pink.

I was blinded by this ink when i first bought it. I quite loved the shade and, having used Skrip inks most of my life (though they have- cough, had - a fairly outrageous red), I was immediately smitten by the prospect that this, harbinger of modern ink-nology had to offer. Put highlighter ink in a fountain pen? Crazy.. I bought an eco specifically for this ink. It worked pretty well.. The "dryness" of this ink manifests as just a scratchiness in the nib. It actually behaves super wet : A lot of cheaper papers will just drink this ink up. That makes it really fast drying, but i notice "dots" and points where i stop the flow of my letters.. Adding some water (10-20% distilled) would smooth this out and increase the line width overall, but i stopped doing it because it exacerbates another of this ink's issues - bleeding.. Even on decent paper, this ink will bleed pretty crazily. Most bright pinks seem to have this characteristic, this one is just worse. Also, my bottle is maybe 6 years old and the dried ink sort of chunks up like rubber cement around the its lip. My wife left this ink unused for six months in an M-2 demonstrator and it was a devil of a time getting it clean. In short, i use other inks now.. I've found Diamine Hope Pink is a great sub for this shade, if not even slightly brighter. It has some of the same problems: it runs slightly dry, has some ghosting and it's consistency, unlike Rach, is rather syrupy. Actually, I think it would be harder to clean that ink out of a clear nib unit, though I've learned my lesson and don't leave pink inks undisturbed in pens long enough to find out. The two exceptions are Noodlers Cactus Fruit Eel, which is a truly splendid ink that not enough people talk about- I'll buy it as long as they keep making it (I've had that ink in my above-mentioned Eco for over a year and it doesn't even think on settling on the pen's walls) and Diamine Scarlet. Both inks are a joy to write with and easy to clean. Still, as an ink that first took me outside the "standard" colour palette, there will always be a place for this bottle on my shelf and in my heart. Just probably the same bottle.

My favorite pink!

I love this ink in my TWISBI ECO. It writes like a dream on both cheap and expensive paper without bleeding.

Beautiful... but the smell.

Wanted to love this ink. It was one of the first bottles I bought... and wow do I regret jumping in here. While the color is beautiful I cannot use it. The smell induces a headache. Definitely a regret purchase. (I do love other noodler's samples I've tried and will continue to purchase from the brand).

Great, deep color, water is not a problem, quite wet, just perfect!

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
