The unusual feature and benefit of Noodlers inks is the bulletproof and waterproof characteristics which their inks boast.
This is incredibly useful if you happen to spill a liquid on your notes or latest novel because you will still be able to read your notes or book needing only to wait until the ink dries. The reason for this is because Noodlers ink bonds with the celluloid in paper and can not be removed once it has dried. Many tests have been carried out to test this quality and the use of acids, alcohols, solvents and many other substances proved that Noodlers ink could not be removed once dried.
In fact so confident was founder Nathan of this quality that he offered a reward in 2003 of $1,000 for anyone who could remove Noodlers Bulletproof Black or Polar Blue ink from a cheque and nobody succeeded in doing so. However one enterprising student from Yale managed to do so in 2009 with a laser and Nathan promptly joined up with the student to devise a Noodlers ink that will also resist the use of laser for removal.
