Noodler's X-Feather Black 3oz Bottled Ink

Noodler's X-Feather Bottled Ink is designed for super-absorbent papers that not even Noodler’s Black can handle. It's thicker than standard fountain pen inks—almost a hybrid between a fountain pen ink and dip pen ink. This helps it hold a clean, sharp line. It also makes it a popular choice for italic and flexible nib calligraphy fountain pens, which can bring out undesired shading in even the most saturated normal black fountain pen inks.

Its thickness also makes X-Feather very slow drying and susceptible to smearing even after the ink is dry, so it’s not the most practical ink for everyday writing unless you need its extreme feather-resistance.

Noodler's inks are handcrafted, so there may be slight color variations from batch to batch.
