Ink Black Bottled Ink Refill

Nada más abrir el bote, sorpresa agradable: viene lleno hasta arriba, bien "despachao", como se dice en la plaza :) Tenedlo en cuenta también para que no se os derrame. La tinta fluye bien en mi pluma Faber-Castell Loom y es muy resistente al agua. El color no es tan intenso como la tinta negra original de Faber-Castell que tenía antes cargada en la pluma, la Carbon Black, que es un negro más fuerte. Ésta es como un poco más gris, más clarilla, pero apenas perceptible.

Aunque es algo cara, bien vale su precio. Sobre todo si se busca trabajar la tinta con medios líquidos o técnicas mixtas.Me encanta la textura y consistencia de la tinta, pero solo la he probado en una pluma de la misma marca. Me parece que pueden estropear las plumas Pilot o de otras marcas por la misma consistencia de la tinta.

I am not an expert on ink or fountain pens. I use this with a Lamy Safari Demonstrator and an EF nib, with the converter. Have been using it for about a month, almost daily during that time.At first the ink was drying dark grey. I was disappointed. Then I started using a different kind of paper and refilling the converter by dipping the nib into the ink instead of trying to refill the converter by itself. After that, black ink. I suspect it was more the paper than the ink filling method that made the ink black or gray. It's been a nice black on every paper I have used it on since that first day though.Waterproof. Dries very quickly (almost instantly) on every paper I have used it on, even - to my surprise - parchment. Smudge proof almost immediately - within about a second for me. Flows nicely. Nice density. And even though I am going through it rather quickly at one refill every four days (as I am filling up a very detailed research journal which must be archival), there is still lots and lots left.You do get nib creep, but that doesn't do anything. I don't care if there's ink on the nib. I care if it writes smoothly, is waterproof, and works well in my pen. It does. So...as far as I know about pens and ink... I would say this is the best I have used. Take that as you will, since my experience is not extensive with fountain pens.

Oh my goodness, this ink is amazing! It's a lovely deep black colour and you can run the page under a tap, scrubbing it with a nailbrush as soon as you've written it. This stuff resists bleach, water, oil, whiskey and I'll update this review if it doesn't resist sunlight. It's also pH-neutral so it won't corrode your pen's nib. Despite this ink being "bullet proof", it doesn't clog your pen as it doesn't contain particles and is water-soluble. The way it becomes permanent is by chemically-boding to cellulose (i.e. what paper is made out of). Thus it won't clog your pen (and it hasn't clogged mine yet). It's also safe for the vast majority of pens, whether modern, vintage, expensive or mass-produced. This ink flows better and wetter than Parker Quink, and whilst it's not the fastest-drying ink, I'd be willing to bet a left-handed writer could use it if needs be (although Noodler's do actually make a quick-drying ink range for lefties). I have written on rubbish papers like newspaper with this ink and it actually did a modestly-good job of resisting bleed-through and feathering (better than other inks I've tried), although if you really wanted an ink with those properties, Noodler's make an anti-feather ink specifically for this purpose! On most papers, there's no visible feathering or bleed-through, which is excellent. The colour is a lovely deep black, which seems to be comprised of grey rather than blue/purple pigments like some other black inks. That said, the smoothness, wetness and flow of the ink aren't quite as good as my favourite inks made by Diamine. If you have a troublesome pen that is a difficult starter or skips, try Noodler's lubricated "Eel" inks instead, or use Diamine's inks (most of Diamine's aren't waterproof though). Also, whilst this is a good black colour, Diamine again win against Noodler's with their Onyx black - although it's a narrow victory, and Diamine's onyx black also seems to show hints of being derived from blue/purple pigments. I suppose it comes down to what you want from your ink. For everyday writing with no worries about being waterproof, fading, etc., and just wanting the most comfortable writing experience, nothing will ever beat Diamine, especially for the price. However, this ink comes a very close second in terms of depth of colour and smoothness/flow. Factor in the fact that this ink resists almost all the known tools of the forger (I write notes for the milkman/postman, which are left outside, with it, sign cheques with it etc) and is designed to preserve the written word until the end of time... well, nothing can beat Noodler's. It's a bit pricier than competing inks, but you get much, much more for your money. I think Noodler's is the closest any writing ink can get to a Jack-of-all-trades. It nearly does everything, and does it almost perfectly. Oh, one last thing... the bottle is FULL. Literally. It is filled right to the brim. Even the act of dipping your pen into it risks making it overflow. Be very careful on first opening! You really do get every last drop you pay for. I also like that it's a tall bottle, which unlike flatter bottle designs as used by most ink manufacturers, means you'll be able to fill your pen easily right down to the last few drops, without having to tilt the bottle.
