Smoothness of black inks, compared to other colors. Why?!
Chuck Swisher wrote:
Did you select the colors from the drop down menu? If yes, the color swatches should change. If this doesn't work you may need to refresh your browser as the color swatches seem to be showing up fine now on my computer. http://www.nexternal.com/swisher/Product1251 Yes, I was selecting the colors from the drop down menu. It didn't work a couple of days ago, but today, I'm glad to say, it is working and all colors are visible. Whatever string you pulled behind the scenes did the trick! Thanks, Chuck. And thanks for the heads-up on Seminole Sepia. Are Sepia and Grizzly basically water-resistant/waterproof versions of Walnut? Or are they lighter or darker? -- Viseguy |

"phk" wrote: Thanks, how does "Seminole Sepia" compared with Grizzly? Grizzly is actually darker than Seminole Sepia. Grizzly would be rated as extremely "bulletproof", right up there with Noodler's black. I have heard that a sample of Grizzly was left in the "weather" for over a month without much change in the original color. Seminole Sepia is extremely waterproof, but will fade some if soaked water, bleach, ammonia and other cleaning solvents, where Grizzly isn't affected. Seminole Sepia required a new Noodler's waterproof ink be developed for this particular "Swishmix" color. Most of the other Swishmix colors are a combination of an existing Noodler's waterproof color with one of our Swisher Pens "fast drying" inks (these are also made by Noodler's). is Grizzly a little bit more yellow? Actually, it is the other way around. There is a bit of yellow in the Seminole Sepia, but none seen in the Grizzly. Grizzly remains "brown" if you do a separation test on a paper towel.

And thanks for the heads-up on Seminole Sepia. Are Sepia and Grizzly
basically water-resistant/waterproof versions of Walnut? No, they are both completely unique colors to Walnut. Or are they lighter or darker?\ Grizzly is the darkest, followed by Walnut and then Seminole Sepia. Hope this helps. Best wishes, Chuck |

What about drying time, feathering and bleeding? How are this three in comparison? It depends a lot on the pen on how the ink flows and the type of paper used as to how long it takes to dry (I have not noticed any feathering on any type of paper that I would call fountain pen friendly paper (I have not tested either on moleskine paper). I've got a couple of older Pelikans from the 50's currently filled with Grizzly and Seminole Sepia that I've been using for the past few days. One of these pens has an OBB and the other an OB nib. Sorry but I don't have a bottle of the Walnut available here at the house so I can really compare flow and drying time with these other two. Of these two inks I have loaded, the Grizzly has the slower drying time of the two. I use mostly Beckett's Cambric Writing Paper for my general writing, so this is what I used to test the drying time of these two inks. It took the Grizzly about 8 to 10 seconds and the Seminole Sepia approximately 4 to 5 seconds to dry completely on the Cambric paper. As I had a lot to do with the development of the Noodler's "Swishmix" inks, I am a bit biased when it comes to these particular inks. I found the Swisher Pens inks and the Noodler's Eternal inks both flow good, but the Swisher Pens inks tend to feather somewhat on lower grades of paper and the Noodler's waterproof inks took a little longer to dry on pure cotton and linen papers. I found that by mixing the two formulas in a certain percentage, it resulted in an ink that flowed well, dried quite fast on most types of paper and still retained up to 75% of it's waterproof qualities. About the only other thing I can add is that all of these inks are made with water, dye, surfactants and a biocide to prevent mold. Some have a higher dye concentrate and tend to take a little longer to dry, but I haven't noticed any problems with ink flow or feathering from these two inks. I hope this helps.

I just tried these inks on a couple of Ampad Gold Fibre tablets and found
that even though both are labeled "Gold Fibre", the drying time of these two inks was a few seconds different between the two tablets. One tablet has a blue cover on it and is labeled Gold Fibre Writing Pad (quickest drying time) and the other is labeled just plain Gold Fibre (Item # 20-026 White). The drying time of this ink on the Writing Pad was between 2 and 4 seconds (2 seconds for the Seminole Sepia) and 4 to 6 seconds the plain paper. I'm not sure if there are different grades of Ampad Gold Fibre paper, just wanted you to know that these two papers had a different drying time even though they are both called "Gold Fibre" paper. Hope this helps. Chuck Swisher - Swisher Pens, Inc. - www.swisherpens.com Tele: (757) 539-2209, TF: 1-888-340-7367, Fax: (757) 925-2787 |

R. Paul Martin wrote: Really? I've got Grizzly and Walnut and the Walnut appears darker to me. Definitely darker on white Clairfontaine Thiomphe paper. Okay, let me rephrase this. Grizzly is the most "durable", followed by Seminole Sepia and Walnut. According to Mr. Tardif, the darkness if these inks can be affected by the type of paper and the wetness of the nib. I didn't have a bottle of the Walnut here at the house to compare it two the others, so I was basing my findings on an old color swatch I had done when we first added Noodler's to our web site.
