Smoothness of black inks, compared to other colors. Why?!

Brilliant Brown is a little reddish, like brick. too red for me.

Sorry about that, some of our swatches weren't showing for the Noodler's
"waterproof" inks. Grizzly is more of a dark golden brown (sorry, don't
know how esle to describe this color). Noodler's Grizzy (like all the other
Noodler's "waterproof" inks) is a waterbased ink and was made primarily for
use in fountain pens. You should be able to see a sampling of this ink now
at the following link:

Hope this helps.

Anyone else writing down in brown

Sheaffer brown, mixed about 5:1 with black Quink to darken it a touch.

I also tried Diamine brown, but that's even lighter.

I have found that Sheaffer Skrip Brown (Made in Slovenia) becomes dark
enough for me, if i put some Noodler's Ink Walnut to it. Noodler's Ink
Walnut itself is way too dark for me.

I use a Chinese made brown, no maker's name on the bottle that I can
see. The color is called "Tobacco" I like it a lot. I also use Levernger
Cocoa, with a dash of black in it for body.

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.

Also, you may want to take a look at the new Noodler's "Swishmix" Seminole
Sepia for a nice smooth flowing "water resistant" brown ink.

http://www.nexternal.com/swisher/Product1620

The Swishmix inks aren't as "bulletproof" as the regular Noodler's
"Waterproof" inks but they tend to flow good in most pens and dry quite fast
on most types of paper.

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Chuck

P.S. If this doesn't work, let me know and I'll e-mail you the samples.

Thanks for the sugestion! I'm expecting to receive a bottle of
Sheaffer Brown anyday now, and will the be able to try it in my pens,
see the color varaitions, etc.

I'm also expecting a botle of Pelikan brown. I had never used Pelikan
ink until a few days ago, and was somewhat disapointed with the poor
flow. Maybe I'll use it in one of my "wet" pens.

Cheers,
JBR

Thanks, how does "seminole sapia" compared with Grizzly? is Grizzly a
little bit more yellow?
