Noodler's ink is archival quality and 100% made in the USA from the ink to the bottle it comes in.

An ink designated by Noodler's as "bulletproof means it stands up against bleach, UV Light, industrial chemicals, etc., making it impossible to forge a check! The cellulose reactive dyes are completely water soluble in your pens and in the bottle, but once the ink dries on the paper, it is totally waterproof and permanent! Note: If you mix the bulletproof inks with regular ink, they will lose their properties, and revert to regular ink!

La Reine Mauve

The name conjures up images of royal purple and the artwork is indeed very much related to the royals of France. Alas, the evolution of this ink and this label incorporated the input of more than 1,000 Noodler's Ink aficionados and references to vintage inks spanning nearly 100 years. It was proposed with grace and compelling evidence of its need by an intense fan of this sector of the light spectrum - only wished for in extremely permanent form. The name evolved from that of a musician...to that of a song...to a concept...and finally was distilled to a version of "the purple queen"...."La Reine Mauve". Bulletproof? Yes - though marked "Guillotine Proof" in fine print upon the label in tune with its monarchical theme...as well as being water based, pH neutral, UV light proof (though can be eventually burned up with an intense heat lamp and a laser - yet obvious damage to the paper will also result from this! - It resists the sun and rain until the paper disintegrates...provided one permitted it to penetrate the cellulose structure of the paper and dry.) - and it is extremely smooth....one of the few inks to rival the smoothness of Noodler's Black (this assumes a well adjusted pen - as no ink alone can make a scratchy misaligned pen smooth, yet some inks can make a well aligned/adjusted pen glide as if a bead of mercury riding over a sheet of glass).

Heart of Darkness

Heart of Darkness

The most recent price levels for disposable rollerball pens with durable (yet not bulletproof) inks ranges from $1.66 each (when sold in a pack of 12) to $3.44 each (as of 1/2/09). We broke these pens open and poured their water based inks out to determine how many would be required to equal our 4.5 oz dropper bottle. The most popular fraud resisting rollerball on the market today required 76 units to equal our 4.5 oz bottle - and the second most popular such rollerball required 82 units. Using the lowest discount price we could find and the largest ink capacity roller ball pen (at 76 units) we have some comparison shopping figures that you may perhaps be interested in seeing: 76 disposable units X $1.66 per unit (not including sales tax) = $126.16 equivalent per bottle of Heart of Darkness, Polar Blue, Anti-Feather Black, Polar Brown, etc.....all of which include REFILLABLE fountain pens that write on the far end of extended 8" X 11" plain paper sheets in mid-air with only the pressure needed to touch the paper to produce a line when flowing properly with ink...whereby no gel pen, ball point, or roller can write with that little pressure regardless of how well they are adjusted to perform. The more costly disposable rollerball pens equate to 82 units X $3.44 per unit = $282.08 equivalent per 4.5 oz bottle. Can your ball point ink survive acetone and common rubbing alcohol on a check or document? Does that gel pen ink survive oven cleaners and bleaches - and other tools of the forger? Does your disposable roller ball save you any money - or reduce waste - vrs. the free fountain pen you can re-fill over and over again? Saving the environment can also mean saving your hard earned dollar - which should never be mutually exclusive goals from the perspective of this frugal Yankee.... ;-) Noodler's Ink will continue to strive to provide this value to our customers through the 4.5 oz bottle and free pens included with such bottles whenever we can manage the razor thin margin to do so - in fact, we intend to expand this program to include a greater variety of such pens as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support - as we would not survive without it. Noodler's Ink, LLC "The smallest ink company in the world with the largest color selection." (c) Why does the Noodler's Ink Company insist on bottled ink, when virtually all other ink companies issue disposable ink cartridges? We actually believe that disposable ink cartridges are incompatible with our goals of providing our customers with the "fairest deal possible per dollar given our resources and abilities". A 4.5 oz. bottle of our ink has the equivalent of $72.94 in the LEAST COSTLY retail cartridges in the world (for comparable ink - though not "bulletproof" - and we exclude free promotional cartridges at shows) - and $36.09 in the least costly retail ink of any
