Noodler's! Do I know Noodler's! I worked at an art supply store for 17 years, and we started carrying Noodler's a couple years before I left. At the time I was using Rowney FW inks for my painting, which are permanent, lightfast, saturated and dependable. I poo-pooed Noodler's at the time because they are definitely not dependable—any new shipment we'd get there'd invariably be a colour that needed a new swatch made because it didn't look like the last time we had it. I guess they were dependable in that respect. Anyhoo, fast forward to today, I use Noodlers more than any other ink. Yes, they're unpredictable, but they're also magical. Every colour has its own character, and some have undertones of different colours that come out around the edges... actually you can't predict how they might come out. They are 100% unique and there are colours that you will never (but NEVER) find anywhere else. I still use other brands of ink because Noodlers doesn't have certain "normal" colours, like a straight-up yellow for example. But I'm a convert.
