Ink on Cheap Paper #34, Noodler's Dark Matter

Noodler's Dark Matter is part of Noodler's Other Vintage Style Ink series. It is a reverse-engineered version from a bottle of ink used at Los Alamos National Laboratory during the 1940s, when the Manhattan Project team was there developing the nuclear bomb. It develops a mild water resistance over time after it dries. Reviews for this ink can be found at Inkdependence, The Pen Outpost, and An Ink Guy. These samples were written using a PenSt 322 with a fine nib. (*Steno Pad Reverse scan was missed, will update this post with an update later.*)
