Hi Folks, Here are two inks that Amberlea sent. Thank you, Amerlea!! They are both in the navy family: - Noodler's Texas Navy is blurple in my view, Somewhat faded, vintage blue. Very waterproof...doesn't bleed or smear at all. Dries quickly. Maintains its line width well on copy paper. The ink drops on wet paper towel spread out to the same blue color with a slight fade to purple (top blotch). - Noodler's Q'ternity is teal-ish and not waterproof in any way...washes out to nothing. Dries less quickly than Texas Navy, but not bad, at least for right hand writing. Spreads a lot more more than Texas Navy on copy paper, somewhat more on Tomoe River paper. The ink drops on wet paper towel resolve to a dark blue with a yellow tinge that fades to turquoise (bottom blotch). Similarities: Little shading, no sheen, average flow, significant bleed through on copy paper, none on Tomoe River. Note on the scan: both written colors are drabber than in real life; the swab colors are fairly accurate.
