Noodler's Ink: American Eel Turquoise

[Signum1]

This is a good baby blue ink. The official name is American Eel Turquoise from Noodler's Ink. I'm delighted with this ink's colour.

It looks significantly darker than baby blue. I would call it true blue, or royal blue, but it's nice.

Zquilts, thanks for the compliments. An edge pen has its merits.

Michael W, thank you for your remarks. I have a few more bottles of different inks I have yet to get around to reviewing. I'll have those inks done shortly and it's a surprise.

Kabe, choice of terms can be very subjective from one individual to another individual. Here's my argument: do a google search for the term "baby blue" under the "Image" section of the google search. You can now compare images google has under the term "baby blue" to my review of the American Eel Turquoise. Now do a search for your term "royal blue" under the "image" section of google. As you will notice, royal blue is much darker in the images from the google search than compared to my review of the American Eel: Turquoise. Personally, whatever name you or I give this American Eel Turquoise ink, we can agree on one thing. It's another wonderful ink to add to OUR writing experiences.

Are Noodler's eel series ink really effective in lubricating the pen's piston seal without adverse effects on the rest of the pen?

Wow, I had not even considered that this ink could be waterproof. Now I can use it for my construction notebook. I have it in a Pelikan 205 with a replacement gold F nib. It puts out a wet fine to medium line. I find dry time a bit slow on a rhodia notebook, but am otherwise quite happy with it. The Pelikan is new--so the piston worked really smoothly already. I will say that the Pelikan 400 that it replaced (lost it) had gotten quite stiff over the years (about 15). I used to use Penman ink in it.

Whoa, I don't think this ink is waterproof at all. I tried a few fills from my sister's bottle and while it is a great, bright colour, it's not really very waterproof. I might stretch it and say it's moderately water-resistant... eh- well, never mind, not really. It holds up for a few seconds, but after about a minute in water, it looses 99% of it's colour.
