Noodler's Bad Green Gator - Ink Sample

Frustrating to write with

I wanted to give this ink a try due to its water-resistance, but it was just a frustrating experience. This ink really feathers on paper (using Leuchturm 1917 notebook), and was also pretty dry even in a Lamy Medium nib. The ink crusted up the nib in an unflattering way and also completely dried out the nib about a week after filling. There's also the unpleasant smell most Noodler's inks have. The color is nice and it really is quite waterproof, but I can't see how I'd get good use out of it.

Lots of bleed-through

Color very nice but got lots of bleed through, even with thicker paper that does not bleed through when using other inks

Love the Color!

I love the color of this ink. Goes on dark and as it drys it lightens just a hair. But the dried color is this nice almost forest green color. Using my Pilot Metropolitan, it flows very well. Maybe even a little wet at times, but I have not had it glob or anything, just a little wet. It appears that if you used a flex nib it would even shade a little. It does it a little in some spots, even with the fine point nib on the Metro. I have tried writing on cheap printer/copier paper. Given it a few seconds to dry, and then used a BIC Brite Liner (highlighter) to see if it smeared. It did not. I have not done any water tests or anything. The highlighter was it. Only draw back, it does seem to feather in my moleskin notebook. The copier paper and even lined notepads it doesn't feather at all. For whatever reason, the moleskin seems to feather this ink.
