Unusable. Never dries!

I tried this ink on several different papers always with a fine or extra fine nib. I don't understand how anyone can say the dry time is anything but VERY VERY SLOW. I can smear my writing 30 minutes later so I've never actually measured when it finally dries. Does it??

Noodler's does it again.

I'm a Johnny come lately to different inks, but now that I'm here, Noodler's willmost likely be my favorite ink. The Navajo Turquoise is vibrant on any kind of paper and looks great coming from fine or broad nibs. Do yourself a favor and try it out.

Very nice ink!

Flows good, behaves well and has a nice colour. I bought this ink to mix and it works very well with Noodler's Yellow and Shah's Rose.

Absolutely Gorgeous!

The color on this ink is amazing - just what I was looking for! Such a nice shade of turquoise - the samples here on the Goulet Pens website are pretty much dead-on for how it looks in real life. I'll definitely be back to purchase a larger bottle in the future!

Ink that changed my mind

I love how this shades. I usually don't like the ink color turquoise but this is beautiful. I'll be buying a bottle.

A Great Blue

I was really surprised how much I was enjoyed this ink. Pops off the page.

Very pretty

This (along with three other samples) was the first colored ink I ever used in my pen. It shades very well, comes out smoothly but not overly wet in my fine nib, and looks beautiful. I used it with my muji pen and a standard converter, the color is just amazing and I can't stop writing with it. I will likely purchase a whole bottle.

Pretty shading.

I got this as part of a sample pack and it's not not my kind of color really. But one night I was too tired to draw and, because I can't keep my hands still, I had to do something. So I made circles in my sketchbook with this ink. And the shading really made it look more interesting than it otherwise would've been. Really pretty depth. Also, I was able to fill my pen twice with this sample. Which is quite the value in my opinion. I find it a perfect pairing with my Jinhao x750 shimmering sands.

I ended up buying a bottle... no regrets

I wasn't sure if I'd like this color or not, but I am OBSESSED. It's a brilliant, beautiful cyan that reminds me of deep water or a brilliant blue sky. I used the whole vial, then ordered a bottle! I also think it's really great that Nathan Tardiff and the Goulets do their best to make these inks affordable, so that as many people as possible can enjoy them. Value is 10/10 because of the low price per mL without any sacrifices on quality. I also mixed this with some Shah's rose to make purple and some Noodler's yellow to make green, with positive results :) I am planning on keeping this ink permanently in my rotation and I'm dedicating a pen to it! I've been using this for my daily bullet journal (a really cheap graph paper composition book) with my Pilot Metropolitan.

I like it better than Kon Peki

My favorite turquoise so far. It's a bit darker and has more green than the only other similar ink I've tried, which is Kon Peki. It has much more shading and is more vibrant, which I like. And 3oz is a lot of ink for 12.50. Also it's made in USA which I like.

A must try

A beautiful turquoise with fantastic shading opportunities. I'm seriously considering buying a full bottle.

Beautiful shade

I love this shade of turquoise. I currently have it in a Lamy Safari and it flows smoothly. I will definitely be buying a full bottle in the future.

Fabulous blue with personalty.

Navajo Turquoise is a fabulous blue with personalty and vibrance. I personally find it to be a wonderful and pleasant color to write and sketch with and it performs splendidly in my Pilot Metro (fine nib) using relatively cheap paper (Moleskine and plain copy papers). The blue reminds me of a tropical paradise. I've experienced slight shading, with my strokes finishing with a slightly darker shade of blue.My first non black fountain pen ink experience was Pilot Iroshizuku Kon Peki� I thought it would be my favorite color. Navajo Turquoise appeals to me more than Kon Peki and performs just as well in my experience, not to mention the more reasonable price of Noodler's ink.While I have not ventured deeply into the ink sampling world. I'm putting this on my First Bottle to purchase list. It's a must try ink if you are looking for a vibrant blue.

Good Turquoise

Turquoise.YES, it is good turquoise with good flow as well as a nice shading.Quality of the ink is very perfect. YES, Noodler's always did their job very well and sincerely. I must appreciate. One problem I faced. I'm a blue lover. Always search for different different blues, in watercolor, in ink and try to apply in proper way. Here I missed. I did a mistake. I've trusted on the photo provided by the website (Goulet Pen) and there is the problem. The problem, because, it is not at all what it is showing into the picture. Not at all that blue. This ink, as I said, a turquoise, and tend to 85% greenish. Very little flavour of blue. 180 degree opposite to the picture shown here. I'll not recommend this ink, if somebody like myself is also going for a blue by seeing this picture. Not at all a like. Rather different. I don't know why. If you ask about my purchase, NO, I'm not at all satisfied.

I have always been partial to these shades and this is a beautiful, bright turquoise.

Loved the experience!

From the website experience to the product in hand, it was a lovely experience. The company has found a way to make the experience personal. I can't really say that about a lot of my online experiences, but I can about this one. The Noodler's Navajo Turquoise ink is wonderful and totally met my expectations -- in fact, exceeded them. I just put in another order today -- um, can't wait for the Noodler's North African Violet to arrive!

Noodler's Navajo Turquoise

Another wonderful Noodler's color! I have this in a Noodler's Ahab of the same color.

Beautiful Ink!

This is my favorite writing ink, in an Ahab flex-nib. I was looking for something as close as possible to my dad's Parker peacock blue, but this is a little less green. There's a lot of beautiful color variation from bright teal in thin lines to a deep blue in wide, wet strokes.

A great ink!

It's got a rich color, smooth flow, and amazing shading. Instantly bought two bottles of this stuff once I tried it.

Fantastic turquoise ink

Flows well, totally a turquoise blue. Great color if you're into a blue that's off the normal, boring, business blue.

Noodler's Navajo Turquiose

Great color and it flows really well in my TWSBI 540 fine point pen. Lots of compliments from others on the color. If you like turquiose, this is the ink to get.

Just right

Rich turquoise without any greenish hue. I would have named it Iranian Turquoise instead of Navajo because the najavo stones are quite a bit lighter in color. Anyway a very nice turquoise color which I love to write with.

Nice Color, Wrong Application

This is a lovely ink. It behaves very well - minimal feathering, not too dry, smooth. My problem is that the saturation isn't enough to stand out on my yellow pad. It's a very nice, subtle color and it does better on white paper, but I need more contrast.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
