INK SWAB 217: Noodler’s Dragon Catfish Pink (HL)

* PINK NOODLERS DRAGON CATFISH PINK

Noodler’s Dragon Catfish Pink was created to be used as a highlighting ink. Because I’ve had some of these specialty inks turn to goo in the sample bottle, I would not put them in a fountain pen.

I use these inks in Preppy Refillable Highlighters – I also buy the converter because it seems to keep things a little more simple for me. Honestly, I’m not sure I’d buy it again because there are so many wonderful highlighting pens out there already.

What do you think?

INK SWAB: 191/365 – Noodler’s Dragon Catfish Orange

* ORANGE NOODLERS DRAGON CATFISH ORANGE SPECIALTY

Noodler’s Dragon Catfish Orange is more of a peach-pink color in this swab. I have found that some of the highlighter inks fade a bit more easily than other inks – even with my samples always stored in a dark cabinet. Or maybe there has been a labeling problem – I’m really not sure what is going on here.

Here’s a link to Goulet Pens – I’d suggest checking out the reviews before buying this ink and even then I would never ever put this into a fountain pen. Never. Ever. I’ve seen first-hand the problem with Year of the Golden Pig – it arrived completely as expected and turned to goop pretty quickly. Scary stuff.

INK SWAB: 175/365 – Noodler’s Army Green

* GREEN NOODLERS ARMY GREEN

 

Don’t quote me on this, but I believe Army Green has seen several formula changes. First it was thought to be too yellow, and then not, and then back to the original formula? I could be thinking of something else. In my swab, I like this color – a good rich green.

Do you know the story here? Or maybe there is no story and I’m thinking of another green ink?

INK SWAB: 159/365 – Noodler’s Georgia Peach (Highlighter)

* SPECIALTY INKS NOODLERS GEORGIA PEACH

 

Noodler’s makes several highlighting inks. These work wonderfully in Preppy refillable markers and highlighters. (Perhaps in other brands, too, but this is what I’ve used.)

The color of this one is definitely bright pink and doesn’t remind me much at all of peaches. That said, I like it quite a bit.
