Noodler's Vmail Series Midway Blue

[Bill Smith]

 

Quick note, scanned on an Epson V500 scanner and the colours are pretty close to what you are going to get in real life.

This will be my new ink, that I'll order soon. Some days ago, a friend of mine show me that blue, and I did like it! It's a pity that this ink is not bulletproof:thumbup:, so I couldn't use at my work, but at home.

 

Thanks for review!

It's a nice blue, but a little too light for my taste. Thanks for showing it to us - it's nice to see scans of some of the less common colors.

Looks a lot like Eel Turquoise....

Midway Blue is a beautiful color IMO. I love the how bright it is. However, be warned that if you use it with a nib wider than an extra fine, it will bleed through almost every type of paper you try it on. After using it for about a year now, it has bled through all my paper types. It even bled through 90 weight Claire Fontain. The bleeding hasn't bothered me because I use it primarily while writing rough draft stuff that I'm going to throw away anyhow.

I've used a medium nib and a plumix italic nib with Midway Blue and did not have any problems feathering, nor bleeding. I frequently use it on a piccadilly notebook, but I've used it on Clairefontaine and it was flawless. I think it really depends a lot on how wet of a writer the pen you're using it is.

I must have gotten a weird batch I guess.

Has anyone had horrible bleed-through with this ink?? I got samples from Pear Tree Pens recently of Bad Blue Heron, Navy, Bad Belted Kingfisher and Midway Blue; all were very well-behaved except Midway Blue which had horrible bleed-through ranging from inexpensive tablet-type paper to the high quality Rhodia tablets. Loved the color--hated the bleed-through. O and was using Pelikan "M" nib or Italifine nib from Richard Binder.

The Parker 51 I used has a fine nib that be considered in some cases dry depending on the ink and I got nice flow from Midway Blue. I have not experienced any bleed through or feathering and this is from a tester I got from Pear Tree Pens.

 

I'm not a huge Turquoise fan but I love this colour because it's bright and clean.
