Best For thick High Quality paper: Noodler'S Hunter Green

Buy on Amazon

We know from years of feedback from readers, customers and amazon sellers, what most people want in a convenient and appropriate ink. The noodler's hunter green is exactly that - it's a simple ink that hits all the right notes. This hunter green ink is very dark. It is good for "eternal" documents. With the exception of very slight green tinging around the words, the ink holds up, the words are extremely readable and clear. The color is "Hunter Green" so it's drab in a camouflage sort of way. The ink will permanently stain clothing and is hard to wash out of skin, so it requires care.

This ink passes the water test. It does run slightly when the paper gets wet, but nothing excessive.
