Noodler's X-Feather ink review

#Noodlers #ink #black #gray #review

I find it fascinating how a small, boutique ink maker like Noodler's can offer not only a vast range of colors, but also a large variety of specialized ink features. But perhaps that's the secret: a 1-man company like Noodler's can be a lot more flexible than a large corporation. Today's special...

Private Reserve Invincible Black ink review

#black #gray #ink #Private-Reserve #review

Private Reserve Invincible Black is one of those inks that seem to have vanished from the market between the time when I bought the sample and now, when I finally got the chance to review it. It's quite a shame since waterproof inks (which it is) are not in every manufacturer's portfolio. Outside...

Diamine Grey ink review

#black #gray #ink #Diamine #review

It's been a long time since I reviewed a grey ink so I got the urge to test one of the grey samples I have. I settled on Diamine Grey. If you're looking for a generic ink name, Diamine's got you covered. Now, grey inks can be rather boring, in my humble opinion, but I like to keep an open mind and...

J Herbin Gris Nuage ink review

#black #gray #ink #J-Herbin #review

At one point in my short fountain-pen-and-ink-loving career I got the notion that I should get a grey ink to use in my drawing endeavors. I must specify at this point that I'm not an artist by any stretch of the imagination. I just like art, I have a great admiration for the drawing side of art and...

Noodler's Heart of Darkness ink review

#Noodlers #ink #black #gray #review

For my first black ink I wanted an extremely dark shade of black so after much research I decided to go with Noodler's Heart of Darkness or HOD as it is also known. Though there are darker blacks, Heart of Darkness is black enough for me and considering it is a generally well-behaved ink, I...
