I see today that Pendemonium is the exclusive US distributor for the new Noodler's Russina Eternal Inks. Has anyone had a chance to play around with these inks? Are the color swatches on Pendemonium's site fairly accurate? Inquiring minds want to know :P

I was at Pendemonium last week, and Sam was kind enough to let me sample some of these new Russian inks. I can't, for sure, tell you that the swatches are accurate, but I definitely remember the colors being bright.

That's very good to hear. Which ones did you sample? Would you say they are brighter than the current US offerings (ie Luxury blue etc)?

Ryan is right in that the new Noodler's Russian inks are very vibrant. At least most of them, but even the more subdued ones have a sort of clarity to them, not sure how to describe it in text, but they stand out on the page.

 

There are a few colors that are similar to current colors, but most are quite different than anything currently being made by Noodler's. And for that matter not very close to any other inks by other manufacturers either!

 

I don't think the Russian colors ink chart will come through here, the file is too large since the swashes get scanned full tilt and then tweaked a little for viewing on the website. Besides which, no one has made us a universal monitor yet! Slight variances for everyone online.

 

We hope everyone will like the new colors!

 

Good Collecting! Sam

What does the blue ink look like on paper? It seems a bit dull and washed out on my screen, so I'm hoping it isn't just another variation of the "chalky" blues that have dominated Noodler's bulletproof collections. I'm still waiting for Noodlers to make a bulletproof royal blue ink.

Charlie - the Pasternak is one of the more subdued colors in the Russian line up. It is not a bright blue, I'm still waiting on the bright Royal Blue bulletproof, too! Pasternak is not as bright at Luxury Blue, it is darker than Legal Lapis. Think along the lines of a darker version of PR Sonic Blue or Waterman Blue Black without any of the green tones in the background.

Has anyone tried the bulletproof prussian blue?:

 

http://www.missing-pen.de/shop/artbeschrei...3ca12123be1eeb4

 

I haven't because I fear it may be similar to the lifeless luxury blue.

It's darker than the Lux Blue, but same matte type of appearance on paper. This is curently available only to German ink sellers, but I just happen to have a sample bottle and made a quickie swash below.

As a modest Russophile and person named for a Dostoyevsky character, I'm pretty sure a bottle of the Dostoyevsky is in my future. I like the look of Lermentov as well.

 

brh, I had the same feeling about the Akhmatova ink. Maybe not my color green, but still, pretty swell.

 

These are all pretty danged cool.

 

I have a little spark of hope that our friends at Pendemonium might get the German prussian blue as well, as I really like the looks of it.

Isn't sanity really a one-trick pony, anyway? I mean, all you get is one trick, rational thinking! But when you're good and crazy . . . ooh hoo hoo hoo! . . . the sky's the limit!

I was afraid of that. Oh, well!.

There must be many local or exclusive variations of Noodler's. This weekend I just picked up two more bottles from my local pen shop. The first bottle is labeled "permian black", has an oil well pictured on it and has the pen shops name and address. The second bottle looks to be a collector's edition with the ink named "raven", it's marked as a "Texas Patriot Bottle", and has two pictures of Sam Houston plus a pic of the Alamo. Being a native-born Texan, I'm naturally tickled pink at owning these two bottles. :blush:

 

By the way, both inks are really dark, bulletproof, eternal and work really well in my new pens.

 

Haven't seen any Russian Noodler's inks around here.

Regards,

Conrad

What? No Turgenev? No Gogol? No Могучая кучка (the Mighty Five: Balakirev, Rimsky-Korsakov, Cui, Mussorgsky, Borodin)? And surely the great Andrei Belyi deserves his own ink!

 

Nathan has his work cut out for him. :lol:

It would be so neat if there was a Japanese line of inks:

 

Murasaki Shikibu (Lady Murasaki) - some sorta purple, lol

Onono Komachi - subdued sakura

Sesshu - sumi color

Iseno Taifu- fresh yaezakura

Ariwarano Narihira Ason - burning, passionate maple leaves!

 

etc. etc.

 

:D
