Thanks! Fantastic display of this ink's shading capability.

You're welcome, Lloyd! I've been quietly benefiting from the knowledge and opinions of this forum/community and I've decided to start giving back.

this ink has fabulous shading and a little bit water resistant, still looking to get a few more bottles

I love this one too! And love the Katakana!!!

 

Thanks, AlejoPlay! I'm glad at least one person appreciates the katakana. ^^

Well, *I* love the Alex Trebek pangram! Gotta remember that one, eh.

I'm glad you like it! ^^

 

There are tons of great English pangrams; I got it from this list.

I thought this site was only going to educate me on pens, paper and ink but I was sorely mistaken, now I know what a pangram is. :)

I just tried a sample of this. It's *very* bright....

Good to know that it shades on better paper, even in an EF nib (I've got it in a Noodler's Flex Piston Creaper, which is a fairly wet writer). And my sample seems to be moderately water resistant, (even though it's not listed as being such) which is a plus.

I use this color frequently, and love it. Excellent review of the color.

Thank you for the kind words, Unky! I really like this color, too. Please let me know if there's anything you'd like to see in my future reviews/demos or any other suggestions you might have for me. ^^

When I use Navajo Turquoise (writing letters or cards), people respond very positively. It jumps off of the paper pretty strongly, and it's just a pretty blue that everyone seems to like.

 

Personally, I love it on fine papers like Rhodia or Clairefontaine or Leuchtturm1917 ("large" journal) because the ink pools longer and you get the darker shade that this ink can produce. On more absorbent papers, it soaks in and leaves you with less (or no) shading, and none of the dark color. I don't like the lighter color as much. You see more of the green element. I prefer the darker deep sky blue from wetter lines. I sometimes wonder if I should have opted for Diamine Florida or Mediterranean blues instead. (Any thoughts on that?)

 

Nice page, BTW, NOS. The Jeopardy line made me LOL because I had never seen that one before. Excellent!

Thank you for the kind words, composertp! I'm glad the Jeopardy line made you laugh. ^^

 

Please let me know if there is anything in particular you'd like to see in my future ink reviews or any other suggestions you may have!

 

I haven't had the chance to use or see in person the Diamine Florida or Mediterranean inks, but from the reviews I've seen, I think Florida may run similarly to Noodler's Navajo Turquoise. I think with a wetter nib, both run into the darker shades, and less into the lighter shades.

 

Maybe if I knew a little more about what exactly you'd like from the ink, I could better point you in the right direction. Is it just the slight green element in the lighter parts of Navajo Turquoise that you don't like?

Oooo! Do more inks. This is sooo cool, especially the kana.

 

Squeateague! Or however you spell it. That's what I'd like to see, as it's on my Maybe list.

Thank you for your kind words, Sailor Kenshin! I'm glad you appreciate my unique format, kana, and kanji. ^^

 

I'll try to get a hold of some Noodler's Squeteague so I can do a review of it for you.

I unintentionally performed a 5% alcohol dilution (aka, hard cider) test on Noodler's Navajo Turquoise:

Sooo...not altogether hard cider resistant. ;-)

 

I like the box worm, too. What is that you use to form your signature?
