Color is lovely. Dipping a Platinum Preppy, it looked a bit washed out, a nice effect. Filled a TWSBI GO, more ink, deep satisfying blue. But it takes a while to dry and so it's liable to smear. (Writing in a Goulet notebook with Tomoe River paper.)

The blue is dreamy and the ink flows beautifully in my Lamy, but it dries slowly, smears easily, and leaves a print on the facing page of my Clairefontaine journal, which has smooth, high-quality paper. Any suggestions for a similar color that won't smear?

It works very well. Relatively easy to fill.

First time Noodler's user. As a lefty (underwriter) using a fine nib, this juicy ink lays down smoothly and dries before I can smudge it. Works well when writing quickly or slowly. If this is the performance of other Noodler's inks, Blue won't be my last purchase.

I love this color! The order came quickly and on time. It was all that I was hoping it to be. It flows nicely from my pen and the ink is just beautiful. I ordered this based upon Bryan's recent recommendation and it was an excellent choice!

I have used this ink only with a Lamy broad. A very pretty blue. Well behaved. Will definitely buy again.

My go to blue. It is difficult to explain. There are a gzillion blue ink out there, but most of them are not true blue. Baystate is a bit messy to deal with day to day. Love the colour. This is my 5th bottle :)Excellent service and packaging from Goulet pen, as always.

I bought this to be a replacement in my collection for Liberty's Elysium because LE sometimes gave me fits with not flowing sometimes because it would dry on the nib if the pen was uncapped for longer than a few seconds. I love this color of blue, and I bought it to be my daily ink to be used in my Traveler's Passport which is carried on my back pocket. Not thinking about it, I played in the snow with my son with it in my pocket and came inside to find that the top portion of every page was smeared from getting wet. I now use it to journal, but I often get done and find that I have smeared some with my hands. I'll still use it and I still like the color, I just don't know that it's an ink for me and how I use my pens.

I love this ink however it's a bit turquoise but it dries quickly (maybe because I have a pretty fine nib).Amazing value, I thought it would have been a bit more of a darker blue, though. Flows amazingly from a verrry cheap fountain pen. 8/10.

The ink preformed well. I was hoping that the color would be of a more traditional Royal Blue... Though the Noodles Blue is a good shade, it was not what I was looking for.

This is a very nice blue, and a good amount of ink for the price.

Very vibrant blue ink. No feathering on cheap copy paper. Some bleed through, but not too bad.

I have many blue ink, including high end inks but this is my favorite. Saturated and no hints of purple or red. True blue.

I really like this ink. It seems to flow nicely. It tends to flow and write better than Noodler's Green.

Like the color, the bottle is easy to use. Not that experienced in fountain pens but rating according to my opinion.

been working great!

I really love this color and it flows real nice and wet from my pen. Everything about it is great, except that it doesn't dry! I use it to take notes on Blank n' Red notebooks, and for letters on Tomoe River paper. Both are really nice for fountain pen inks, and I found that over a minute after writing at the top of a piece of paper, if I touch it I can still smudge it. When I open a notebook to pages I wrote in Noodler's Blue I see speckles and streaks on the other page (the page that made face-to-face contact with my writing). It's not a practical ink for me, which is too bad because, again, I really love the color.

I like this base blue ink. It's the perfect color, it dries decently quick. I just got it for my first real fountain pen and I have nothing bad to say about it. If you like blue, get it.

I am really enjoying using this blue. Bright color with no real problems. Very well behaved.

Excellent color with nice flow. Be careful when opening the bottle. Mine was VERY full.

This was my first blue ink. The color was very good and I have been very happy. I inked my Lamy Safari with this ink.

The Elmo is a joy to use, thank you for the terrific customer service,... ordering from you was a pleasurable experience!

If you like blue, then this is the ink for you. It's a brilliant blue that flows easily from you pen to the paper. Dries fast on cheap paper and slightly longer on good linen. Lots of pigment to give the perfect color. Also made in the USA!

Good color - runs a bit wet. Overall OK

It was a gift for my grandson. He loved it!Thank you!

I really wanted to use Baystate Blue, but feared for my pens, or Visconti Blue, but couldn't justify the cost. Noodler's Blue was a comprimise, but turned out to be a wonderful alternative. Colour is rich and vibrant, especially with a medium nib.

I'm fairly new to the world of fountain pens but chose this ink based on previous reviews of others who have been using it and I'm very satisfied. I love the color and the ink runs very smooth in my TWSBI, Pilot, Lamy and Montblanc. The blue is vibrant, not really electric so I find it to be a good ink for my business writing. I will be a buyer of this ink again.

A true blue ink that I like even better than Liberty's Elysium or Baystate, and I wish I'd tried it sooner. I bought this for my new TWSBI 580ALR 1.1mm stub nib pen, and it's been an excellent combination. Good wet flow with decent drying time that performs well on all paper, with a bit of show-thru on the cheap stuff due to the amount put down. After about an hours dry time on Staples scratch pad paper and put under running water, it does bleed off. It leaves a light turquoise color behind that is legible but probably not in a long term state. Now a favorite in my rotation which will replace Liberty's Elysium. Sorry Brian!

Ive had this ink for a few weeks, really like the color, works great. Easy to use and clean. Just a good ink

It's a very good cerulean~cobalt blue ink. Good shading. But when writing with a wet pen, it dries very slow at parts (letters endings) where there is more ink. It can smear there a little :/ otherwise it's a very good ink, especially when used in more dry pen :)

I write mainly with blue ink and this is one of my favorites.

This is a very nice shade of blue, and it's quite affordable. However, this ink really needs high quality paper; otherwise it will feather and bleed extensively. It also seeps onto the surface of the pen's nib, an unattractive quality.
