I've got quite a lot of ink related questions lately since I started using the permanent ink from Noodles. It seems to work nicely in my fountain pen no sign of clogging, even though the thought of steel nibs is nice they are not very practical not when you choose to draw no vertically. Hopefully this drawing might show some of the advantage of going water proof. The Ink was not available in Sweden (it's a small unimportant country on the rim of civilisation) so I ordered the ink from USA, the transportation of the ink was more expensive than the ink. Do anyone know of a place in Europe where they have it?
I never heard about Noodles ink, did you use that with your Falcon? I draw with Falcon too, but I just use regular sepia fountain pen ink. It's water soluble, so when I use my Falcon, I put down color before line ... Have you try Amazon.com ... they seems to have everything and they have Euporean web-sites.
Thanks for the link, next time I'll order more close by. It would be great if someone in Sweden started selling it though. It like a little revolution for me being able to use water proof ink in a fountain pen. Yes I use it in my falcon but not in my Montblanc. It's nice to use a little bleeding sometimes.
Mattias, you should try the Rotring Art Pen with the steel sketch nib. You can use it in all directions. It uses ink cartridges that are not waterproof but you can purchase a converter to switch to waterproof ink. I love mine!
I did a couple of years ago I found it a little bit to hard, love my fountain pens, I've had my large montblanc for 15 years, it's quite economic in the long run, even though it almost ruined me when I bought it!
Mattias, why aren't you making a book? (for the masses, not just in your moleskin?) Do it!
And we definetly need Sweden to be part of civilization. I've been there, and can attest to the fact that the stereotype of tall, beautiful Swedish girls, is well founded. (beautiful country also).
Yes Ana, thought it as well, and found out you could buy it in the UK. should be less expensive. Terry, well when I get a little time some day, these thing tend to be time consuming and a stress on the economy, I work full time got just enough time to draw on my spare time. But it would be great. I'll have to start thinking more professional on my drawing someday i guess.. Thanks
Great sketch of a sketch of a sketch! I use Platinum Carbon Ink instead of Noodler's. Works great in my Falcon too. Not sure if it's available in Europe though
Theres different types are you using american eel? It also depends on what paper you're using if it's based on cellulosa, It tend to dry pretty slowly but only for some minutes

ReplyDeleteI was going to say the Writingdesk.com in England but the others beat me to it. However they're out of stock with the Ellis Noodlers
ReplyDeleteMattias do you find the noodlers ink smudges? especially with watercolor? Mine smudges like crazy even after a couple of hours
