I read a post on Fountain Pen Network (FPN) this morning about how Noodler’s El Lawrence ink was supposed have some fluorescence to it. As I just so happen to have pens filled with both El Lawrence (thanks to Mike W) and Blue Ghost inked at the moment {the Blue Ghost is in a Platinum Preppy (pen on the left) and the El Lawrence is in a Lamy Al-Star (pen on the right)], AND I just bought a new ultraviolet flashlight, I naturally had to have a look.
The Blue Ghost is invisible on paper until you shine a black light on it. The El Lawrence sort of glows when the black light shines on it.
I have got to hand it to Noodler’s, they’ve got some (ed.’s note – pretty, pretty) cool stuff!
Have you found El Lawrence or any other fountain pen ink to have fluorescence? We would love to hear from you!
Hmmmm…I need to take a better pic, the El Lawrence does glow more than shown here, at least in the bottle.
And the Lamy Neon ink that was released with the Limited Edition Safari last year also glows under black light. Unfortunately I don’t any (have) more to prove it.
