No problem when I came back. The TWSBI Minis seem to seal up very well. I just got a Noodler Creaper as my first flex nib, and since it is a much cheaper pen it doesn't have that good solid sealing feel when you screw the cap on. I will certainly stay tuned for your <br />DeAtrementis tests. Liz and Jane have piqued my interest (and everybody else's) in them!Arlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04614226533493279115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-14306502484431053792014-12-11T10:38:14.684-08:002014-12-11T10:38:14.684-08:00Arlene, I don't know how humidity affects ink ...Arlene, I don't know how humidity affects ink and pens, but I am mainly comparing Noodler's with Platinum Carbon Black, which has never clogged any of my pens. Stay tuned for my idle-time test of DeAtramentis Document! Leaving a pen filled with ink but not used is the true test for clogging!MiataGrrlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00727208043312788510noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-23679705229712359332014-12-11T09:30:47.636-08:002014-12-11T09:30:47.636-08:00So far I have not had any problems with either Lex...So far I have not had any problems with either Lex Grey or Brown #41 clogging either of my TWSBi Minis. Those are the only inks I have used so far. Do you suppose it could have anything to do with your humid climate?

I don't try as many inks as you do for sure, but I have used the Noodlers Lexington Gray for quite a few years and have never had problems with it. It isn't as bold as a black but I like to use it. Sometimes I think it is just easier to use disposable pens. lolJoan Tavolotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11290923567339587417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-220865105573981879.post-35700886861425113052014-11-23T19:44:51.985-08:002014-11-23T19:44:51.985-08:00I've never had problems with Noodler's ink...I've never had problems with Noodler's inks clogging my pens but they're sure not waterproof, at least as defined by those of us wanting to put watercolors over them :-) <br /><br />The new DeAtramentis inks are really opening the possibilities for pen and wash sketching. Did you see Jane Blundell's 'mix' post on the entire line of inks? Good stuff that: http://janeblundellart.blogspot.ca/2014/11/mixing-document-inks.html<br /><br />Cheers --- Larrylarryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499637631503513759noreply@blogger.com
