- October 2014 update:
A Japanese brush pen company a few months ago raised the cost to Noodler's significantly of the brush pen we were including in the 4.5 oz. bottle. This was always added on a "while they last" basis and was never at any additional cost - please note that 4.5 oz. bottle costs were the exact same rate before and after pens were added to the package. Thus, they were truly "free pens" and at no additional cost. Noodler's has run out of Swiss made ink ball tips and will no longer include them with free pens, as their cost increased by more than 300%. Free brush pens are no longer included as their cost increased by more than 700%. We can actually now make our own brush pens and as soon as is possible, will make an eyedropper filled model at the old price level and hopefully be able to return to the economic ability to include it at no additional charge. Everyone is raising prices, but there is - as usual...no inflation behind the green curtain.
In addition, we still have been sending out "Made in Taxachusetts" labels, but very few have been redeemed. There are still quite a few music nib Baystate Blue prize pens available...and now more than their number of labels outstanding!! If we run out, remember that we reserve the right to issue the holder of the label either a $50 value in Noodler's pens/inks or a different color Neponset music nib pen. Alas, once those prize pens are all awarded, we are not able to replicate that material.
I live in Japan and Noodler's inks are the only ones I will pay to import.
"and then ask them what the hell they're smoking." BRUH I LOVE TARDIF SO MUCH
"Please find a source for US pens" A bit of history on a particular country and fountain pens...
Sheaffer, Waterman, Cross, Parker, Conklin, Moore, Chilton, Carter, Wahl, Pick, Caw, Wirt, Eagle, Inkograph, Wearever, Esterbrook, AA Waterman, Dunn, Sager, Arnold, Sterling, John Holland, Rider, Tiffany, etc…all obtained ebonite from: INDIA. Why not Noodler’s too?
It's $174 of cartridges - on average - per single $12 bottle of Noodler's. Do the math.
I love how the paper gets tossed into the water with reckless abandon.
I have and continue to use BSB. I love it. Please don't stop making it just because some don't like it. Their loss.
Nathan, you probably don't need someone thanking you for it, but THANK YOU for caring about ink and the pen industry. Your passion, your knowledge, and your efforts for those of us who care about pens and ink are very much appreciated.
Best blue ever period. Thank you Nathan for sharing it with us.
This video, Mr. Tardif, did its job. It convinced me to finally get myself a bottle of Baystate Blue (despite all the scary reviews everywhere) and I love it! I use it in the Nib Creaper rollerball and it performs amazingly even on cheap paper! With just a bit of water it didn't feather on the most fibrous paper I could find around my place, and for the rest it looks simply amazing. Thank you for this video (even if it's old) that convinced me to try out this beautiful ink :)
Wow. That was a generous gift back in 2011. I wish I had known about your ink and pens sooner. I purchased the Baystate Blue because it's the most beautiful blue ink I've ever seen. I haven't filled my pen with it yet because I'm probably going to get a Noodler's pen to use exclusively with it.
Yes, I should bow down to any feed material - including casein, and simply halt any production of an alkaline or even water based ink in order to take blame for another manufacturer's product defect. Note that Noodler's pens NEVER use casein and the feeds are tried and true ebonite...a material with the best capillary action and more than 100 years of proof in ink use of ANY pH range. One is free to get affordable ebonite feeds that work with ALL water based inks made - or get something else!
Bravo Nathan! I've had BSBlue in my ink drawer for some time now and it is indeed the most striking color I own. Love it.
i LOVE how you demonstrate your passion for ink through this video. bravo! not only for the demo but creating such a high performance product.
THIS remains a legendary ink!!!! Thank you Nathan!
I rarely use any seriously expensive pens, so I don't forsee the staining being an issue to me. Besides that, this is by FAR the most beautiful and vibrant blue ink that I have ever seen. I wouldn't be surprised if I never used another blue ink again. If that's the case, the staining doesn't even matter!
The video is compelling. The ink is fantastic, the freedom of two specificiations: Free as in free beer, and Free as in Freedom. Your company is a credit to the human spirit, as are you, Mr. InkNeedLastForever. I'm gobsmacked!
This is hands down my favorite blue. I'm over half way through my first 4.5oz bottle and have used it in my Ahab and also in a converter pen. Never had any issues. I write a lot for work and tend to use printer paper to jot my notes down. No bleeding or feathering. You literally can't beat the value and price. I have no clue how much I've saved just by using this ink. But I do know I used to go through about 2 refills per week in a popular gel pen that costs $3-4 for a package of 2 refills. Never looking back. Thank you, Nathan!
Great video, Nathan. Thank you so much for all the work you do to make writing such an enjoyable experience. I haven't gotten to try Bay State Blue yet, but it looks great.
When I first got back into fountain pens, I bought Baystate Concord Grape and Baystate Cape Cod Cranberry. I love these colors and am glad that you extended the range . I have tried a sample of Baystate Blue, but have yet to buy it. I tend to buy inks that require more maintenance and diligent cleaning, simply because those are the colors I love.
wonderful and informative demonstration. Thank you. I learned a lot from it.
