Noodler's Air-Corp Blue-Black

[mhphoto]

Not quite sold on this (hoping to be soon, since I bought a full bottle without trying a sample…), but it's certainly an interesting ink.

Another great review and I really like this ink a lot. One of the few I could get here while supplies lasted. I find it darker though but I can't do a scan just yet - cooking dinner! Great ink though and well worth a try.

Here's my scan, a little earlier than I expected. Curry is on 'hold' while I did this!

I make it just a little bluer but I like the ink and don't mind what happens in the green area.

I've been looking for black/green/blue ink for a while and have seriously considered the Aircorp bb, however from many photos that I've seen of it (I prefer photos to scans for a truer representation of the hue) it seems to have a bery vibrant almost electric quality to it's blue/green element. Is this a true assessment? Could I hope for a more muted or matte quality?

I always love your ink reviews, and as I just bought a bottle of ACBB, I'm pleased to see its properties. Also, BNB is o e of my all-time fave inks.

It depends on the paper, but, for me, ACBB is very... assertive about its color. It is in no way neon, but it's very dark, and somehow catches your eye with its intensity. I personally prefer more muted inks, but ACBB is cool and unique and loved by many people, so you may feel differently.

Thanks for the review. It was love at first sight in my situation. lol

As usual, another great ink review, mh.

 

While I may eventually do an ink review, my real long term goal is to get ANY of my Noodler pens to flex like yours. Are you really using a Noodler pen? You wouldn't be joshing us, would you?

I don't pull shenanigans with my reviews. :roflmho:

 

The Noodler's Flex pen I use for nearly all of my reviews is about to turn a year old, and in that year it's been whipped into submission by so much flexed writing practicing that it can do some pretty darn amazing feats on the page. I know some people are disappointed by how stiff new Noodler's pens are when they're new, but this Flex and my first Ahab can pull some spectacular trick and prove that if you practice with them, these nibs can be broken in to (steel) flex perfection.

 

I actually loaned my the review Flex (filled with Rouge Hematite) to my friend so she can do her Christmas cards, but when I get it back I'll shoot a video proving it's capabilities.
