Noodler's Anti-Feather True Blue Bulletproof Ink
Noodler's Anti-Feather True Blue Bulletproof Ink is backordered and will ship as soon as it is back in stock.
Noodler's Anti-Feather True Blue is a bulletproof blue fountain pen ink. It is considered waterproof, forgery resistant and also has a slight sheen. It comes in a 3oz (approximately 90ml) glass bottle.
The Noodler's X-feather is design for just that - not to feather on any paper. Aimed mainly at cheaper paper on which many inks, including Noodler's, feather and/or bleed through. This ink has been noted to take a long time to dry on the more expensive, better quality papers with a nice semi-glossy sheen to them but this is not the paper that this ink was designed to be used on.
Bulletproof once dry. 3oz bottle (approx. 90ml).
Noodler's Ink is a small American company run by Nathan Tardif in Southern Massachusetts, USA. The Noodler's Ink Co. is best known for their massive range of colours, the unique and largely hand drawn bottle label artwork and unique properties of their inks. Nathan Tardif is best known for his political views and historical knowledge, which often spills over into the names and labels of his inks. Winston Churchill is most famous for holding a cigar, but can be seen on this label with Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower shooting at a firing range with a Tommy gun in 1940.
The name Noodler's comes from a technique of catching catfish by hand. Noodling involves wading into the water and feeling around for small crevasses and catching the catfish who have backed themselves inside by holding onto the outside edges of their open mouth. Nathan says it is the ultimate battle between man and beast and your bank balance and social standing have no bearing on your ability. The catfish can be seen on all the ink bottles packaging.
The glass bottles are simple and affordable and the cardboard boxes are recycled.
Please note the below information:
Noodlers 'Bulletproof' ink designed for use in fountain pens for writing and not for watercolour washes. The top layer of the ink will be removed if you try to smudge it with a wet finger or a wet brush - we have a blog above which has a test of 7 Black inks and has a video showing any surface run off from this and 6 other inks.
The ink which is in direct contact with the paper will be permanent (due to a chemical reaction between the ink and paper) but any excess ink will be removed with water (call it 'ink-on-ink', rather than 'ink-on-paper' if you will). This is why the ink is removable from hands, plastic, fabric, etc whereas traditonal permanent ink will not be and why Noodler's will not stain or damage your pen like old fashioned Iron Gall Inks may.
N.B - The bottles are VERY full, so be careful when opening them!
