Special Features: "Sold only in 4.5 oz bottles, is a combination ink that absorbs as much of the color spectrum as could be engineered, with an average penetration rate when humidity levels are less than 60% and given the average paper grade (the less costly legal pads and basic copy and writing papers...rule of thumb: the greater the recycled content, the faster the dry time/penetration rate). All the previously mentioned black inks are “bulletproof", though standard black has been subject to the most extensive testing as it was our very first ink. "*
Also, the manufacturer's Label lists this ink as "Eternal."

Dude your incredible,this was extremely helpful. i wish there was someone like you to review anything i ever bought.
Thanks Jose that gives me a nice, warm, fuzzy feeling.
I'm on a quest to collect (and review) all of Noodler's regular ink line. I've got another 29 bottles sitting in a bread box waiting to be played with, though I don't think I'm ever going to keep up with Nathan (Mr. Noodler's.) Hope that will help you out.
i luvs the heart of darkness so much Q__Q
It's nice to have a black that's blackest black, not less than black.
