Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.

Flow was limited on 3 of 4 pens, due to the viscosity I think. Hue was nice and dark when flow was wet enough. But it often was too thin for great results.

A solid black

As I'm entering a more professional field, I wanted a good black to use for my everyday pen. I've tried this and Noodler's Black, but this just seemed to flow better as well as dry quicker. Even on everyday notebook paper, in my Pilot Metro, I got thin lines, no shading or bleeding and dry times as quick as 7 seconds. It doesn't stand up to a highlighter since its not a document ink, but I need to try gel highlighters just to see if they do better. If you're looking for a good, dependable black, this is it.

Don't really like it

I heard a lot of good things about Noodler's Black. Lucky I only bought a sample. I don't really like it. The consistency is weird. I tested it out using glass dip pen. It dries so quickly and it's more or less bubbly it feels so thick that it sort of bubbly, unlike any other ink. I like how black it is but I really hate the consistency. Won't get this one again.

Smooth

I am very new to the fountain pen world. I bought the Pilot Cosmopolitan from you. I tried the cartridge that came with it, and then switched out to the Noodler's to give it a try, and I find it to be smoother with more glide. It dries a bit slower, but not bad at all. Noodler's is also a bit darker which I like. Overall, great ink from what my newbie experience. Thank you!

Noodlers are the best!

I bought a few different Noodler's black inks and they were all great in their own properties. Can not go wrong with Noodler's!
