NOODLER'SInk Refills Cactus Fruit EEL Bottled Ink - ND-19205

I have this in 3 pens, ranging from a $15 pen to a $150 pen. They all write exceptionally well. Even ink flow, quick drying, and a beautiful color. It’s probably my favorite ink right now and I am going to try more Types of Noodlers. Also, a really good value and filled to the tippy top.

I love this ink! I have been trying to find a nice deep pink for a while to use on baby shower thank you notes. I would say that cactus fruit eel is more of a magenta. Lots of deep pink with a hint of purple. Hopefully the pictures capture it well enough. The color varies slightly depending on what you are writing on. It's so pretty and vibrant. The ink flows nicely. It writes a little more wet than other inks I have used, but overall I have not noticed bleedthrough. The worst bleedthrough I found was on super cheap paper when I drew over the same spot multiple times. The bottle was filled right to the brim so be careful when you open it! (I always have a paper towel handy.) I was impressed by the amount and quality for the price. This is my first noodlers purchase and I have a feeling it won't be my last.

Husband and son LOVE the color. Both are using it for proofing and corrections. They love the intense color and said it has a smooth feel.

This ink flows throw, even on finer nib pens. In fact I prefer using it on a finer nib pen. It is a dark pink/magenta color, probably one of my favorite pink inks. It is easy to read when using it for writing, but would also be nice to use for sketching. I have found that on cheaper quality paper or moleskines it will absolutely bleed through the paper. On higher quality paper, like tomoe river, it does take a little bit longer to dry, so be careful of smearing. Noodler's inks are always filled right to the brim. Be sure to have a paper towel nearby and open in an area you won't mind if you spill a little (like over a sink). Overall I feel like this is a great ink and you get a lot for what you pay.

I love the fact that this ink is in the class of lubricating inks! I use the fountain pen by Jinhao X750 with a Zebra G nib that I do alter for the amazing line variation. All the inks in the same category by Noodler's are also lubricating, which in turn gives me plenty of ink flow for the wider lines and tiny upstrokes!!! It's great fit your pens inside parts!!!! Will definitely by again!!!

Noodler's Cactus Fruit Eel Ink is a serious red-pink that flows on with great ease and dries a bit slowly. It is smooth and flows seamlessly. The color is just dark enough to look more like ink and less like watercolor. The smooth flow starts at the very beginning of the first line. There are no skips. I find it a fun ink and look forward to picking up the particular pen that has become its home on my desk.

Cactus Fruit has me considering other Eel and lubricated inks because it is so very well behaved. Pens which have been laying around for awhile still write smoothly without the usual fits and starts. The color is strong but not garish and, though there is some kind of magical lube, it doesn't lay down wet enough to be a smeary mess. The color is magenta - a cross between fuschia and purple - that doesn't strain the eye. You can quite easily read a full written page of this color without wincing or regret because it is more dark than bright.

I love this ink so much. It's beautiful, flows well, and looks great in all of my fountain pens. I love the color variation you get with large medium nib pens. Bottle came in perfect condition. I would buy this product again in a heart beat. No bleed on the koyuko campus paper.

Beautiful colour. Really bold.Lubricates the nib well, nice wet ink.Dries quickly.
