Nathan - How does Noodler's perform on heavily-sized paper, such as
Clairefontaine?

Thanks! It's not available near me to try yet, but I plan to mail-order
some soon, especially if I find out it works on most of the paper I
have...

that the ink is supposed to be non staining,

You can try this for yourself - soak plastic in the ink....for months. It
rinses off with tap water afterwards. Also...spray it on plastic
sheets...leave in the sun...let dry...leave it for months. It rinses off
with
a spray of water. I've even rinsed it through polyester fibers such as
those
used to clean fish tanks or fill stuffed animals. Clear plastic barreled
eyedropper pens are good for testing the ink as well...the ink will fall
off
the sides clear and clean each time the pen chamber is shifted.

Paper? Cellulose like cotton? No chance in hell...it will laugh at water
and
most chemicals (in fact I have not yet found a chemical that removes the
ink
from cellulose paper - although industrial bleach turns the paper back
into
pulp mush...your written word remains in the same form within the mush
sheet!).
If this is a concern for recycling...not that a quick stir of a glass rod
mixes the mushed paper pulp into uniform gray matter very similar to that
seen
at recycling plants. I see no reason for concern about that issue.

Hi Nathan, is the Legal Lapis the same in performance as the Permanent
Black?
