Does this bulletproof ink clog the fountain pen eventually?

Clogging has never been an issue with Noodler's Ghost ink (or any of the many other Noodler's inks that I have used). I LOVE this product and think it's brilliant! Bulletproof, invisible, fun and easy to clean out of a pen. Even if the ink dries up in the pen, a soaking in warm water will have you back in writing business in no time! Enjoy this product and happy writing!

I filled with this ink a safary months ago and even if I use it from time to time only, it always writes smooth.

The ink is designed to be safe for fountain pens, and I have not found it to behave any differently than any other fountain pen ink I use. It hasn't clogged any pen I've put it in (save for if the pen is ignored for too long and it dries out a bit--again, typical for any ink). In general, I recommend fountain pen users flush their pens with water periodically. This is a good care-and-feeding procedure, and will limit the impact this (or any) ink will have on your pen.

I haven't had trouble with this ink. The pen i use it in isn't even a very high quality, but still no problems. It may vary from pen to pen so just make sure yours does not have any special ink restrictions by the manufacturer. Other than this I seriously doubt you will have any problems. The ink seems to be less likely to clog than traditional black ink.

The ink dries within acceptable time. Now a days we are used to ball ball pens where the ink dries instantaneously. Ink does dry more slowly. No after many years years using Montblanck ink I never had a problem. Please remember to flush your pen with water before refilling.

It works very well, the ink does NOT clog or drip, it acts as if its a Factory Refill - Iam planning on Re-buy again from this seller.and it saves you a ton on money, just be sure to drill your access hole for new plug, on top of Cartg. so it cant seep into printer, and all will be well - good luck

No you use latex paint as is. try using FLOETROL paint conditioner. It helps to keep the nozzle from clogging.

Firstly, make sure that you've loaded the ink properly. If you haven't loaded it, or loaded it improperly then that may be the source of your issue. Secondly, it can take a little while for the ink to work it's way down to the writing nib on a new fountain pen. My advice is to treat it the way you would a ball-point pen that won't write at first, i.e. give it a bit of a gentle shake and then scribble on a piece of paper for a bit. The ink should start flowing in short order then. If not, then there may be other problems. Hope this helps.

It depends on how you load your ink. My vintage fountain pen has a lever and I'm able to fill it with a myriad of lovely colors from this collection of inks. I hope that helps. If yours uses cartridges that are not refillable then probably not... Enjoy!

I use it with a fountain pen (exclusively) and it works fine. No bleed through.

I've used it with Montblanc Mystery Black ink and that worked really well. I've also used Private Reserve, Noodler's, Parker Quink, and J. Herbin. They all seemed to work pretty well. The J. Herbin ink was a little too wet, the Noodler's ink (Blue) was a great ink and I enjoyed the Private Reserve and Parker ink equally as well. Lamy also makes ink. I haven't used them myself but I've heard good things about them.

I haven't had any experiences with them clumping up, and they write exceptionally smooth. The ink does take a little time to fully dry, but what really good pen doesn't?

Until it is dry, you can dilute it with water although I don't recomend it. Once dry however, it is not washable in water or bleach as i have ruined a good shirt trying to remove the ink stain (my fault). As the title says "bulletproof" which is Noodler's permanent inks suitable for documents that need permanent inks like checks. Note, do not use in an older fountain pen but a newer one instead as the ink can be abrasive to internal components like older seals. New FP's seem fine with it.

No, the piston only moves when you twist it during filling. As the ink level drops, it empties out but the piston stays at the same place.

No, not that I am aware of. I have not had that problem and I've had the ink for several months.

The ink is very different to anything pilot makes. First it is waterproof. It handles well in most pens I have tried it in. I have not been impressed with the fountain pens they market. This one was modified to work without a cartridge and you fill it with a dropper. The result is a huge reservoir. The nib is japanese and works fine. I am not convinced the huge reservoir is needed, and I can tell you if it leaks you are looking at a huge mess too. I find that most of noodlers descriptions of their inks(I own 4 different types) are extremely accurate, were other inks just say they are good products.

No. The cartridge is designed to work in space and the body itself has a rubber gasket to prevent leaked ink (should it ever happen) from spilling out.

The clog can happen if the ink is mixed, exposed, etc. But there does not seem to be a way to avoid it. While filling it will be exposed to air, howsoever short it is; and while re-filling, it will be mixed with another type. This happens with the other cartridges as wellThe printer gets itself into a clean mode every now and then and unclogs itself. But if it is fully clogged and cannot be cleaned - does anyone know if we can take out the print head and clean? and how to clean?

That is a good question. I have not continue to mess with them. I found the stem in the fountain pen is weak. Some broke off. I used a small narrow nail to poke the hole but it will not go into the pen. So I am not recommending them for purchase unless they include the proper ink with them. I will revisit them today because you asked. I will get back to when I figure this out. Take care Bill

I used it with a dip ink pen and it works great. I think it would work with a fountain pen. The ink is thin enough for it and has never gotten gooey or clumped together when I'm writing. I've used several different brands of ink, but this is my favorite. It's easy to write with and isn't hard to clean off the pen nib.
