Mr. Swisher:
I am impressed with your (aka Noodlers) water resistance. Does this water resistance make it tough to clean a pen? I am one of the AR types who want several consecutive clean flushes from a pen before it is returned to storage - rinsing a Vac is bad enough without water resistant ink. Love to hear someone's experience on this. Dave "Chuck Swisher" wrote in message news:OjShc.919$VQ3.881@lakeread06... At this time the black ink is the only color that Nathan calls "Extremely Water Resistant" |

That someone thinks Aurora black is somehow more attractive than Quink black is subjective. That Quink has been around since 1931 is not subjective. I just bought 20 4-oz bottles of cir. 1940 Quink (Perm. Royal Blue and Perm. Blue-Black), and it's still perfectly useable. Some folks might not think it's as pretty as some currently available boutique inks (although others might think it's prettier); however, the fact that it's still in perfect shape after 60+ years is, I think, relevant to the IP's question Is there a better ink than Quink. (Bet Dr. Seuss could have had fun with that one.) Quink's been around a long time. You're not going to find stuff precipitating out of it or slimy stuff floating around inside the bottle. It's not going to gunk up your pens. There are many inks available without as long or as good a track record. But, those other inks sell for good reasons to those who buy them... shrug. --- Bernadette |

Love to hear someone's experience on this. I have tried it in cartridge/converter, piston, lever and button fill pens but not in a Vac. I have found it any harder to clean out of these types of pens than Aurora or Parker black ink. This ink is water based and washes off feeds and nibs just like any other water based inks.

Not so new, top posting allows the experienced scanner to see if I've
been able to add something witty without having to wade through your original scan. Not being so new I also know your comments can sometimes be, well, shall we say "predictable?" But a know-nothing? Perhaps. Who else would waste thousands on stuff that should have been junked before I was born and then spend hundreds more to pay one of the six surviving craftsmen to keep it in functioning. Or maybe I know something and am merely unbalanced. Must be, I'm one of those who likes Penman Black. JP "PENMART01" wrote in message ...

Hi - I share the same hesitance about trying a water-resistant or 'waterproof' black ink, much as I like black. My problem is this. If it dries on a page and can't be washed off - ie is virtually insoluble in water - then how on earth can it be washed out of a pen if the ink is inadvertently left to dry in one? I mean, if it's insoluble, then it won't dissolve out of the pen either, right? Or have I missed something? On the other hand, I have had good dealings with Nathan, and have bought some great pens from him at excellent prices. He knows his onions, as we say in the UK. But I'm still puzzled. Insoluble in water = it won't wash out of a pen? Regards Tony Stanford On Sat, 24 Apr 2004,00:55:45, Chuck Swisher wrote Dave wrote: I am impressed with your (aka Noodlers) water resistance.
