Noodler's Rachmaninoff - Ink Sample

very bright. just what i was looking for.

Bright Pink!

This ink is a very bright pink, so if you're looking for that, this meets it! Even comparing to another pink in the sample vials, it's easy to see there is a difference with this ink as it clings to the sides of the vial a lot more. I tested it on 5 papers: Clairefontaine, Rhodia, Goulet (Tomoe), Traveler's Notebook and Mnemosyne. It had the fastest dry time on Rhodia and the Traveler's Notebook, with no smearing on either after 5 seconds. However it also had some significant bleed through on both of these as well but much less on the other three. Having said that, it's a gorgeous color, pops wonderfully on white paper!

Great in Pilot Parallel!

I wanted this ink for highlighter use in a Pilot Parallel 3.8mm. I have not tried it in a conventional fountain pen, but it is excellent for the use I intended it for. Yes, it does smell like paint, but I am not writing with it for any extended length of time so it's ok. It is super bright pink and pretty saturated, though it is transparent enough for use as a highlighter over dark, permanent ink. Over lighter or similarly-colored inks, it does cover them up. Dries fast on copy paper, though it bleeds through. I won't rate it for flow since a 3.8mm Parallel isn't the typical use. I have not yet cleaned it out of a pen or had it sit for a while in a pen. I'm guessing it will be difficult to clean, but we'll see!
