(More customer reviews)This ink is just what I needed to do calligraphy and also to do illustration. Quick dry and no need to go over with a second hand, it is dark enough.

Lamy Studio Palladium Medium Point Fountain Pen - L68-M Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For some reason, I have a pen fetish. Especially nice looking silver pens that are quite large and heavy. I've been looking for one that wouldn't break my bank and found this on Amazon.
I decided to treat myself for a change, and I am very glad I did. This pen suits my every desire in a pen. Silver, nicely balanced, excellent writing, and beautiful to look at. I've never had a fountain pen before, I've always been a rollerball user, never ever a ball point pen user.
Something tells me that I won't ever use another rollerball pen unless it's made by Lamy. This pen is so very very nice!

Noodlers Ink Fountain Pen, Piston Fill, Burgundy Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a budget pen for someone who appreciates the fundamentals of fountain pens. This is a straight-talking, no nonsense, blue-collared, "I put ink on a page" fountain pen.
If you need a 14 or 18k gold nib shining back at you, this ain't your pen.
If you want people to gasp in awe when you whip out your pen, this is not your pen. Well, a certain kind of fountain pen enthusiastic might and they'd worth talking to, but this ain't the rolex of pens here is what I'm saying.
If you want a modern pen to use an old nib you savaged from a busted pen at a flea market, this is your pen. Search Noodlers on YouTube for the video on this.
If inks are your thing and you want a pen, a piston pen, that you can flush and fill in search of the next perfect ink, this is your pen.
If you want to carry an extra pen for say, red ink, this is a way to do so without busting your bank account.
The pen is very light with a plastic feel to it, the nib is a decent medium, and the price is great. I used a couple of different inks in mine and I see what I expect from them in this pen.
The burgundy color is good and conservative, though they come in brighter colors too. The ink windows are visible with the cap on, which is nice. The cap screws off which I think is fine for a fountain pen that rides in a pocket or purse.
The mechanism is simple and functions well. See the Youtube video on repairing this pen to see what it is about.
To fill, basically, take the cap off and unscrew the back of the pen until it resists, this moves its piston all the way forward inside the ink chamber. Dunk the front of the pen into a bottle of ink past the nib and screw it back down while holding the front in the ink to fill it. Blot the nib with a paper towel and you're ready. It's that easy.
I applaud Noodlers for putting out this good, basic pen.

Noodlers Polar Black Bulletproof Eel Fountain Pen Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This ink is as good as Noodler's "standard" Black, with one trade-off: instead of being perfect on bad paper, this one stays liquid far below the freezing point of water. This one is also designed to safely condition and lubricate the gaskets of permanent-piston pens.
This one is not good for two-sided writing on bad paper, but just remember that almost all fountain pen inks of any color are not good for two-sided writing on bad paper either.
This one, like Noodler's "standard" Black, is safe for writing checks and signing valuable or important documents. One behavior you might notice, if your pen's nib is an exposed metal surface (not covered with colored enamel), is that Polar Black spreads itself over exposed metal surfaces. This "nib creep" is harmless behavior because the ink doesn't run down onto the grip area. Wiping the ink off the nib is only temporary; more ink will soon spread to replace what you wiped off. Again, this is harmless behavior and a very small price to pay for the security of your marks, signatures and important handwritten texts.

Noodler's Eternal Luxury Blue Fountain Pen Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I write with Noodler's Eternal Luxury Blue ink all the time for secure recordkeeping (student attendance in the classes I teach; need I say more?) in a color that says, "original and handwritten." This stuff is just as tough as Noodler's (standard) Black.
Noodler's Eternal Luxury Blue is not as good for two-sided writing on bad paper as Noodler's (standard) Black is, but for the color blue I count that as a security feature. A photocopying forger would have to spend lots of time and money to produce a convincing color photocopy of both sides of a sheet of paper with exactly the same shadow-through and print-through of handwritten marks or writing in this ink, while a handwriting forger would have to try many times to produce marks or writing with exactly the same shadow-through and print-through.
One behavior you might notice, if your pen's nib is an exposed metal surface (not covered with colored enamel), is that Eternal Luxury Blue spreads itself over exposed metal surfaces. This "nib creep" is harmless behavior because the ink doesn't run down onto the grip area. Wiping the ink off the nib is only temporary; more ink will soon spread to replace what you wiped off. Again, this is harmless behavior and a very small price to pay for the security of your marks, signatures and important handwritten texts.

Noodler's Hunter Green Eternal Fountain Pen Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I like fountain pens and ever since high school green ink has been my trademark. My pen is a medium nib Pelikan 200 (green of course). One of the drawbacks of fountain pens is that the ink is not waterproof so it is not good to use for checks or any place where there is any danger of the paper getting wet. I've tried a few "semi-waterproof" inks in the past but they never worked worth a darn.
Noodler's came out with an ink that is water soluble in the pen but chemically reacts with the cellulose in paper to be permanent and waterproof. This sounded perfect so I ordered a bottle in the hunter green.
I was previously using Pelikan brilliant green ink. In general you expect the best writing when you have the same brand of ink and pen. I found Noodler's ink to write better than Pelikan. It has better and more consistent flow. It writes better on cheap paper which caused skipping problems with Pelikan ink. My pen feels a little more scratchy with Noodler's ink so I think it must be a little less viscious than Pelikan ink. Noodler's ink also feathers more on rough paper than Pelikan ink did.
To me the color of this ink isn't quite right. It is more yellowish and lighter than I expected. To my eye it looks more like a Kelly green than a hunter green. The online examples looked like a hunter green so I wonder if there is a little variation batch to bath.

Noodler's Ink Refills Ottoman Azure Bottled Ink - ND-19035 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Ordered this ink for my new Lamy Al Star Fine (after reading how lousy the Lamy-issue ink was) and I love it. A nice deep blue. It flows well and dries quickly. I've been pleased with its performance in my everyday pen which I mostly use on 'lower-cost' yellow legal pads.

Noodlers Blue Fountain Pen Ink Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is one of the most beautiful blue inks in the world for fountain pens.
Some Noodler's inks are waterproof, but this one is not. Don't use this color to write checks or sign valuable or important documents. Noodler's inks come in many colors, including some other blues that are waterproof, and a few that are even forgery-proof. Again, this one, Noodler's Blue, is not waterproof. It also doesn't spread itself over exposed metal surfaces (like nibs) like some Noodler's waterproof and partly-waterproof colors do.
If you want this hue and shade, and you don't need it to be waterproof, this is the one for you. Students should know that this one, unlike most blue fountain pen inks, cannot be chemically eradicated/erased by eradicators like the Pelikan Super-Pirat.

Lamy Cartridges Refill - Blue/Black (5-pack) T10BB Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This ink has the ancient "iron gall" formula with its nifty aroma. Iron gall ink is waterproof but not safe enough for writing checks. Iron gall ink looks good from a "wet-writing" pen, but the lower-priced Lamy "Safari" and "Al-Star" pens are not "wet" enough. Also, you should never let iron gall ink dry out in a pen (permanent clogging!), and you should flush an iron-gall-using pen in both directions with plain water (pulling water in and forcing water out) every month or so.

Pelikan Refills Brilliant Red Bottled Ink - 301036 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have the M200 and M400 Fountain Pens from Pelikan. I bought this ink for use in those pens. The ink has a great color and dries fast. It has very low feathering. The price I think is fair considering the high quality of the ink. The vendor was great. I received the ink quickly and safely. Can't ask for more.
