    Years ago, before I read a bit about the producer, I was looking for an ink in a specific shade of blue, and I bought a bottle of Noodler's Eternal Polar Blue ink.

    And it's *perfect*, it's exactly the shade I wanted.

    And also, it's *crap*, it feathers and bleeds even on decent paper and using my extrafine nib pens.

    I had to add gum arabic to make it vaguely usable (with nib pens), but if I add enough to make it behave it's no longer the smoothest writing experience.

    And now I have the best part of a whatever 3 oz is in real units bottle and I want to use it, but I also don't want to use it, and if I keep writing with my usual thin nib pens it will take forever!

    (edit: I wrote the ink name wrong)

    Nella categoria: problemi auto-indotti.

    Anni fa, prima di leggere cose sul produttore, stavo cercando un'inchiostro da in una sfumatura precisa di blu, e ho comprato una bottiglia di Noodler's Eternal Polar Blue..

    Ed è *perfetto*, esattamente la sfumatura che volevo.

    Ed è una merda che spiuma e trapassa anche su carta decente usando un pennino ad intinzione extrafine.

    Ho dovuto aggiungerci abbondante gomma arabica per renderlo usabile (coi pennini), ma così l'esperienza di scrittura non è più così piacevole..

    E adesso mi rimane una buona parte di una bottiglia da qualunque cosa siano 3 oncie in unità di misura vere, e lo voglio usare, ma non lo voglio veramente usare, e se continuo ad usarlo coi pennini fini mi dura per sempre!
