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

I am impressed with your (aka Noodlers) water resistance. Does this water

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.

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. Here is a link to
some additional information about these inks:

I hope this helps.
