Prepare to be surprised! In this in-depth ink review, I'll test Noodler’s Gold and Limonite—an intriguing, earthy brown ink with a beautiful golden tinge (inspired by Colorado mining).
This ink features shading on a variety of papers [03:26] and even shows a sheen on the right paper with a wet pen [05:48].
But the real shocker? The Water Fastness Test: Find out why this is one of the most waterproof brown inks I've have ever tested.
If you are looking for an affordable, durable, and highly reliable brown ink that won't budge, this 3oz bottle of Noodler's might be your next favorite.
