Noodler’s Year of the Golden Pig is interesting to me.
I’ve bought the sample from Goulet Pens (from where most of my samples come) twice. The first time, the ink sat for a very long time before I got to it and it was . . . coagulated. Ew. I bought it again, opened the bottle the same day and . . . same thing.
I’m not sure what is going on, but I know this ink isn’t going into any pens I own. Do any of you have experience with Year of the Golden Pig? I’d love to hear all about it.
Noodler’s Apache Sunset was part of my Seven Orange Inks post.
Remember #killwinterwithorange? Hahah
Squeee! Firefly Yellow is what I have in my Preppy Hightlighter and I really like it. Works great, is super-bright. Does the job.
Noodler’s Black is a good strong black that behaves well in most every pen. In fact, Noodler’s Black is my standard black ink.
Noodler’s Baystate Blue
Famous and infamous – Noodler’s Baystate Blue has a reputation for a couple of things: 1) its great big booming blue color, and 2) it’s propensity to stain everything it touches.
My experience . . . 1) I don’t think the color is something that a writer can’t find somewhere else, and I think it leans toward the purple side in real life practical use, and 2) I wouldn’t put it in my demonstrator, or my favorite pen, or my lightly colored pen, or my new pen, or my vintage pen.
You see what I’m saying? And…do you agree?
Noodler’s Sunrise – Highlighter Ink
I really really like the color of this ink. It’s made for use in highlighting markers. I can see some spread/feathering and that does make me a bit concerned as to how it would behave in a marker or pen.
Have you tried this one? Howdit (it’s a word!) work out for you?
