1. I dislike to use ink that comes in tall bottles with narrow necks; they are unstable and easy to overturn. I save my empty bottles that have wide necks and wide bottoms and transfer ink into them. 2. I have Majestic Blue. I haven't noticed any sheen to it, but what I DO notice is how easily it stains & how hard it is to clean, so it is my LAST bottle. 3. Novelty inks--sheening and glitter in particular--are fads in my opinion, and I have tried glitter. It plugged the feed on one of my pens. I've been "doing" pens since 1980, so I have the gamut of cheap, moderately expensive, and high-dollar pens. I've become extremely conservative in my tastes in pen design and the ink that I use; I prefer black, dark grey, and shades of blue. Favorite brands: Pelikan, Waterman, Parker, and Diamine.
One of the four inks you list is also a favorite of mine: Diamine Oxford Blue, water-soluble but deep, intense, well-behaved and lovely. Noodler’s inks I really like are Anti-Feather Blue (well-behaved, more water-resistant than the Anti-Feather Black and a lovely deep blue) and Lexington Gray (very well-behaved and absolutely waterproof, a deep transparent gray that is also good straight or water-diluted and loaded into a waterbrush). I’ve seen much praise of Noodler’s Walnut, which is mostly water-resistant with just a bit of liftable brown-tinted wash. I’m still evaluating it. For a waterproof black I use Platinum Carbon Black, and I use De Atramentis Document Brown for a waterproof brown. In my experience DA Doc Brown needs extra time to fully set before rewetting; it varies with the paper. Noodler’s Lexington Gray, Platinum Carbon Black, and De Atramentis Doc Brown are good over or under watercolor washes.
Yh, it's a lot of fun to play with. I don't actually own a Seiko :( it's a casio 'royale' with the grey bezel. I have considered watch videos, but there's other people that do a far better job such as Jomw or Ben's watch club. Maybe in the future.
-Great video. -Most of Noodler’s Inks are wonderful with a few that are incredible. -Some of the media recently suggested that the founder and owner of Noodler’s Inks was rascist. -This was a ridiculous accusation. RS. Canada
Nice to see someone appreciating Noodlers. Their inks are fantastic, and there is no other brands that offers such an array incredible colours with permanence.
I was expecting to see you lay down a swatch of each of the inks that was being talked about. I was disappointed...I expected to SEE what the inks looked like.
I am sorry for your dissapointment, but I prefer a writing sample as it's more true of what the ink will look like under use. Besides, the video leaned more into the characteristics of the inks and not their colours.

That glow in the dark ink is a good idea. Btw, what Seiko watch are you wearing? Any watch collecting vids?

The people who make such accusations are usually demented white liberals who, behind the scenes, tend to be the most racist people I’ve ever met.
