Noodler's Ink Bottle (Black - 88 ML) 19001

The ink is good quality, perfect for artist or even writing. It is smudge resistant as it dries quickly and is waterproof so one can easily use water colours with it.

Works nicely on cheap paper

I have never seen something like this before. Normal ink is like shiny liquid or water with dye in it, but this is not shiny, it looks rough matte black liquid yet fine enough to not trouble parts insidefountain pen. It dries in 8 seconds if using japanese fine, and 11 seconds if germany extra fine. That matte black bulletproof thing it says, gives an additional layer of coating over ink when written. As a result after drying, you will not smudge if you slide finger over it with medium pressure (which is more than enough to test), but if you use high pressure you will smudge it and observe a rough matte texture that you will never find on even expensive dye based inks. And this matte thing also makes the color dark. It’s perfect black, not that dark black like rgb0000 which will make you uncomfortable when looking. I don’t know if the color will fade a little after few days, but I know that it’s archival. And one more thing, due to it’s thickness and roughness instead of smooth, it does not feather on average 58gsm papers. I have used and seen multiple cheap and expensive inks feathering but this ink is just magic. Just open the lid carefully because it’s full wayyy to the top, wayyy top. As you can feel this review is from my heart. And honestly I am waiting for the actual pen in which I will use it, but trust me I have used less but different kinds of both popular cheap and expensive fountain pen and inks. End of the note : don’t even think about buying Lamy inks like T50 or something, that ink is not even worth 1 rupees. If you have Lamy T50 ink, then let your frustration out and yeet that ink into the drain. Kepp the bottle though, it’s nice. See ya chump!

It is waterproof on cellulose paper, but it takes some time to dry completely, even though it may appear dry, if you put water some color fades away. Krishna waterproof ink are better waterproof than this. Also the cost is bit high. Writes smooth with both fine and midium nib pen. Color is very satisfying black, if you shake ur ink bottle and then fill it in ur pen, otherwise it is a bit greyish.

This is the first time I have bought something so expensive. Used it in Rotring Art Pens for a week and then again after a break of one week. It flows nicely, did not clog the fountain pens and is really water proof. It comes in a large bottle filled to the brim. I believe this ink has a long shelf life from some blogs I read; so it looks like a sound investment. Cheers!

Noodlers bullet proof black ink is fabulous ink. I am using Lamy 2000 medium nib. Previously I used to to use private reserve velvet black but ink was bad and my pen wasn’t that smooth enough. So I ordered noodlers bulletproof ink and my Lamy 2000 glides like I am writing on glass. So smooth ink. Everyone should have this ink in their collection. Only thing is beware of marketing tactics used as I bought at 2100₹ and within a day price fell to 1899₹.And also the ink isn’t waterproof as they are advertising. I put a drop of water on my writing and ink got diluted. So not a waterproof ink.

The ink is substandard, most probably fake. It can't be used as ink due to its inability of black colour.

I bought this in 2023. Writing review in 2025.I was looking for a deep black, waterproof ink for sketching and to outline my watercolor paintings.It serves the purpose, but this ink colour is not consistent. Over the years, the ink has gotten greyish. I tried turning the bottle over to mix the pigments. I regularly clean out my fountain pens. But, the ink is greyish instead of jet black. Don’t get me wrong. It is a good ink. Very waterproof. Wet and smooth. Didn’t clog my fountain pens ever. Amazing quantity.But I wanted a deep black and was disappointed it has turned watery. Other users complain of the same issue. If you want a deep black waterproof ink for sketching, I’d go for the Platinum Carbon Ink.
