Customer Reviews
Very nice! Thanks! Good value.
I’m new to the world of good fountain pens and have much to learn . I wondered about how ink would last since my only reference point is an old Sheaffer cartridge fountain pen . Those cartridges seemed to get good mileage and I was happy so this three ounce bottle of Noodler’s ink looks like it would fill several dozen of those cartridges . That’s a good value . The ink is black , black , blacker than black and looks good on paper . One other thing I like , small matter though it be , is that it comes in a glass jar . Isn’t there enough plastic in the world ?
Look no further. This is deep black and witchy. Perfect for Halloween invites, formal invitations, or for drawing with a fine-line pen. Noodler's inks are always waterproof (wear gloves when you fill them so you don't spend half an hour removing it with alcohol and water) Love this Brand
I will never recommend this ink. It is so dry the ink looks washed out and grey on the page if you use anything more than a fine. The ink is dry as a bone and my nib literally squeaks on the page, not a feedback kind of scratch but a squeak. It doesn’t like coming out of demonstrator pens either. Overall I’d give it 0/5 stars. Don’t buy.
As a cartoonist, I've always been EXTREMELY particular about my ink. This was the PERFECT one for me! Very opaque, drying time isn't to bad, cheap, and just nice overall. Would recommend if you are an artist..
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!
