Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel - 3oz Bottled Ink

Delightful writing experience

The magenta color is cheerful without being garish and easily legible. The ink flows very well from the pen. It does smear when wet, so probably not a good choice for fast page turns or lefties who write with a hooked or overhand position. No noticeable feathering and only mild bleed-through on copy paper with a stub nib. I am still on the first fill, so it is too early to tell whether the lubrication will help with the stiff piston of my 1980's vintage Pelikan.

Great color, super juicy, scratchy pens no more!

This ink was GREAT in some of my more tactile pens! Because it's a more lubricated ink, it comes out quicker, but the writing experience is so much more smooth. I'd be a bit nervous to use wetter writers with this ink because it would take forever to dry and might risk bleedthrough quite a bit more. Not great on cheap copy paper, but it is manageable with finer nibs. Very simply, Noodler's inks are exceptional, come cheap but with EXCESSIVE ink, and are great for the amount of options. This one is quite honestly very enjoyable to use, and I'd dare say that any of the "eel" inks are must haves. I love this razzberry pink color, or I suppose more aptly "cactus fruit pink" color. Get some when it's in stock!

Ink

This is a gorgeous color it writes beautifully as well it only feathers on cheap copy paper I can even use it on a mead composition book which we all know is notoriously bad for fountain pen inks it is wet most definitely but wax bleed through of most sort and my only gripe with it is the fact that it has such a high smearing capability but that is a sacrifice that we need to make for such a good noodlers ink.
