quick note on inks

A set of tests including ball pens and sharpies... Note Noodler's black is 100%
water based ink - fill a pelikan or other visuated chamber pen and rinse it out
hundreds of times before your own eyes - see how clean it is....yet watch what
happens once the ink dries on cellulose papers!

I'll return to the group before the year is out (fingers crossed). Best wishes
to you all,
Nathan

Simply amazing!

I am not at all surprised that BP ink is almost dissolved by the hydroxyl
group. It is after all, oil based. But I am surprised that the Aurora Black
stood quite well against this group of solvents. But your Noodler Black is
just unbelievable. I have to ask my regular mail shop to stock them.

Mighty impressive. One thing I'll say about Noodler's fraud-proof
inks (black and contract blue): Notwithstanding their "eternal"
qualities on paper, I've never had a moment's trouble washing these
inks out of any pen, new or old. In my experience, they flush out
more quickly and easily than other, comparably saturated (and
non-waterproof) inks. So you get the best of both worlds: permanence
on paper and a very welcome IMpermanence in and on pens, counter tops,
hands, etc.

I have always wondered how that works. It doesn't stain your pen but is
waterproof on paper.

It's because it reacts with paper fibers but not with other things.
Whatever chemicals are in the ink, they don't work till they soak into
paper. Nathan seems to have made a brilliant discovery! (Or else he's
made brilliant use of someone else's discovery.)

I think HP hold a patent on this - the old square deskjets introduced
it around 1990.

I pretty much doubt hp would divulge this proprietary technology to anyone
else.

I assume that anybody with the right equipment could analyze HP's
printer ink and find out what's in it that makes it act the way it does.
Or am I way off base with that?

Nope, but that would be reverse engineering. If the formula is copied then
it is a patent infringement that may result in a law suit.

I don't doubt that. I just meant that whether or not HP divulges the
formula is almost a moot point, since people can find out anyway.
