And I just filled Diane's Waterman 100 Year Red Transparent Ladies pen with Noodler's Blue. This is another fine nib, and probably the most nearly perfect nib I have ever used on any pen. Semi-flex, and absolutely the smoothest nib I have ever written with when used with Waterman black ink. With the Noodler's it is even better, as if it weren't even there, no drag, just a smooth flow of words. It is too bad that the only time I ever get to use that particular pen is to clean and fill it. ;-) But soon I should have my full-sized 100 Year Red Transparent back in my hot hands in another couple of weeks. And the Big Red 1926 Parker, both with fine points, the Waterman's nib is nearly as good as Diane's, it should really work with the Noodler's. I think it may be time to order some more ink, in more colors. Noodler's of course. Now if only they made that shade of Blue in the Bullet-Proof... -- Harry F.

Quit being so negatively narrow-minded. If you're "in bed" in some way with the product, there is nothing I can say that will open your mind. You'll just look for cause to contradict. Good-bye! |

WARNING: Noodler's Inks

These inks may not be the best for medium and/or fine nibbed pens. I have experienced drying and clogging of both a Waterman and Romet medium, both newer pens. Because the higher concentration of pigment in Noodlers, the stroke-line looks better when used with fine and medium nibs but be prepared for problems. Using the same two Noodler's inks in a broad-nib MB seems to be no problem with it's generous ink-flow but I hesitate to load it into a Pelican since someone complained to me that Noodler's totally ruined his Pelikan and lead to replacement. He didn't say what nib he was using but I heeded his warning. Noodler's inks are so striking in appearance so it is very disappointing. It is certainly an opposite to the more watery Pelican inks so perhaps there is a reason. -T I use Noodler's exclusively in my half-dozen or so Pelikans. I keep them all loaded, all the time. I will sometimes go weeks without using one or another. I've not had ANY problems with the pens or the ink. They all start immediately, flow well and write like a dream. |

WARNING: Noodler's Inks
I find this NG to be hostile and overly self-defensive and have better
places to be. The person that advised me of Noodler ink ruining his Pelly, his name is Travis and he is associated with "Pens-More." This group doesn't deserve any further info on my part, whether it be helpful or useful. I regret being placed in a corner and having to reveal the sources of my info. I was not asked to treat the info confidentially so I'm not doing anything wrong in revealing the info. I just think it is good courtesy not to "drop names." IMOPO, most of you people are "tight-assed" loyalists displaying not even a hint of open-mindedness. Shame on you. "bill7tx" wrote in message oups.com...

WARNING: Noodler's Inks
I'm pleased that you are having a better experience than I have had.
All pens have individual personalities as well as their inks. I appreciate you sharing your positive info as opposed to attacking my credibility. I had an experience that I genuinely thought might be helpful to others. Initially I didn't wish a clogged-pen experience on anyone. From most of the response I've received, I no longer care what happens to a number of people that hang out here. I don't expect to ever acquire another pen so following this group further is no longer needed. Best wishes to you! "Harry F. Leopold" wrote in message . cox.net...
