Don't judge an ink by its label!
"Lurker contribution on the subject of inks"
The label has a comic looking character looping through the logo. An eel that wears a hat and smokes a pipe? I suggest ignoring the multiple labels, as this ink is beyond comparison. After my waterman pen required a seventh filling in a single day, the initial reaction was to question whether or not this ink somehow was made to be consumed faster on purpose. As an author my pens are all put through heavy longhand service, but this was more than the norm. The number of new pages on the rough draft was higher than usual for one day of writing. When the ink and pen combination are so smooth that your thoughts have the illusion of appearing on the paper without effort? When your mind and the page are so close that hands and arms seem to be an afterthought? When you forget the time or that you have yet to eat lunch because this stream of consciousness is so intense? My conclusion: this is the ideal ink for the ideal pen. I have used this ink on different legal pads and it exhibits the same performance. To the maker: please do not change this ink! The quality I love most is the unbelievable smoothness. If you must change it, please do not forget this smoothness. Does the maker change inks often? Anyone know? Questions to the maker: why does it seem only a single store carries this ink in NYC? Other stores carry "Noodler's Inks" yet only Arthur Brown seems to have these "eel" inks by the same company. Is there difficulty keeping this ink in stock or worse? Does the "Polar" ink have more lubricating quality than the other "eel" inks? "Polar" seems harder to start after being set aside for a time, but once writing it also seems to be the smoothest. Yet another comic label that understates the depth of the contents. |
