sorry i meant, have to flush more times than other inks.
in fact sometimes Noodler is almost too wet for Pelikans on some
paper.

bye now,

Cort Furniture Rental and Honesty are two mutually exclusive
concepts.

My Pelican broad is not quite as wet as my MB broad. Maybe the Pelly
should be returned for a slight tweak. For signatures, I like a very
wet stroke. The MB loves Noodlers and there it shall remain. I do
purge my pens every month or so. Recently I used my MB after being
idle for 2 weeks+ and the flow was instantaneous without any pressure.

There's a technical term for this type of anonymous warning: "troll."
Absolutely safe to ignore completely.

I have two fine point Waterman Commandos which have been loaded with
Noodler's ink for about a month now, one tends to flow just a bit dry, the
other is really wet so I have to be careful to not smear the writing (but it
looks so darned good!) Both pens have semi-flex fine nibs and are just about
perfect with this particular ink, the Noodler's blue.

I also use the Noodler's Hunter's Green in a fine-nibbed Sheaffer's Cadet
that I use at work, I am a printer so I don't take my great pens to work, too
likely to get damaged, the Cadet makes a near perfect work pen. With the
Hunter's Green I also don't have to worry about getting the various liquids
we use on my work sheets and smearing.

And I just filled Diane's Waterman 100 Year Red Transparent Ladies pen with
Noodler's Blue. This is another fine nib, and probably the most nearly
perfect nib I have ever used on any pen. Semi-flex, and absolutely the
smoothest nib I have ever written with when used with Waterman black ink.
With the Noodler's it is even better, as if it weren't even there, no drag,
just a smooth flow of words.

It is too bad that the only time I ever get to use that particular pen is to
clean and fill it. ;-) But soon I should have my full-sized 100 Year Red
Transparent back in my hot hands in another couple of weeks. And the Big Red
1926 Parker, both with fine points, the Waterman's nib is nearly as good as
Diane's, it should really work with the Noodler's. I think it may be time to
order some more ink, in more colors. Noodler's of course.

Now if only they made that shade of Blue in the Bullet-Proof...

Friend of a friend? Humbug, I say. I have used
a Swisher-bought Pelikan 600 with a fine nib loaded
with Noodler's black quite carelessly with no ill
effect whatever. I leave it in the pen for weeks at
a time, pick it up and write with it without so much
as a fraction of a millimeter skippage. No clogging,
no ruination, no tilting of the Earth on its axis.

Perhaps your FOAF's Pelly was ruinated by
injudicious loanage?

I've had the Pelly about a month. I'll never loan it to anyone.
Once I let a bank officer use my MB briefly. She held it upside-
down and made a feathery scratch that squirted ink across the
doc. It was actually funny. Fortunately the pen wasn't harmed.
The majority of people haven't ever seen a FP let alone knowing
how to use one.

*You had the Pelly about a month? Get your story
straight, Mr. Magnet. You said "someone complained
to me that Noodler's ink ruined his Pelikan." Whatever
credibility you may have had is evaporating.

OK, that does it for me. In the crapper with you.

Initially I was only trying to be helpful, no other motive. Quit being
so negatively narrow-minded. If you're "in bed" in some way with the
product, there is nothing I can say that will open your mind. You'll
just look for cause to contradict. Good-bye!

Thank you.

These inks may not be the best for medium and/or fine nibbed pens. I
have experienced drying and clogging of both a Waterman and Romet
medium, both newer pens. Because the higher concentration of pigment
in Noodlers, the stroke-line looks better when used with fine and
medium nibs but be prepared for problems. Using the same two Noodler's
inks in a broad-nib MB seems to be no problem with it's generous
ink-flow but I hesitate to load it into a Pelican since someone
complained to me that Noodler's totally ruined his Pelikan and lead to
replacement. He didn't say what nib he was using but I heeded his
warning.

Noodler's inks are so striking in appearance so it is very
disappointing. It is certainly an opposite to the more watery Pelican
inks so perhaps there is a reason.

-T

I use Noodler's exclusively in my half-dozen or so Pelikans. I keep
them all loaded, all the time. I will sometimes go weeks without using
one or another. I've not had ANY problems with the pens or the ink.
They all start immediately, flow well and write like a dream.

I find this NG to be hostile and overly self-defensive and have better
places to be. The person that advised me of Noodler ink ruining his
Pelly, his name is Travis and he is associated with "Pens-More." This
group doesn't deserve any further info on my part, whether it be
helpful or useful. I regret being placed in a corner and having to
reveal the sources of my info. I was not asked to treat the info
confidentially so I'm not doing anything wrong in revealing the info.
I just think it is good courtesy not to "drop names."

IMOPO, most of you people are "tight-assed" loyalists displaying not
even a hint of open-mindedness. Shame on you.

I'm pleased that you are having a better experience than I have had.
All pens have individual personalities as well as their inks. I
appreciate you sharing your positive info as opposed to attacking my
credibility. I had an experience that I genuinely thought might be
helpful to others. Initially I didn't wish a clogged-pen experience on
anyone. From most of the response I've received, I no longer care what
happens to a number of people that hang out here. I don't expect to
ever acquire another pen so following this group further is no longer
needed. Best wishes to you!
