Nice Dark Blue

I use this in my Pilot Vanishing Point EF. It comes out as a more standard blue to blue-black color. I like using pigmented inks because of their water resistance and smudge resistance. This ink is no exception, but what I like about it is that it stays wet on the nib for longer than other pigmented inks like Carbon Black.

Fantastic Ink

What a lovely ink. The flow is excellent, the permanence is wonderful, it's reasonably smudge-proof, and has decent cap-off time. The color is a lovely dark sea blue. The color took me a little while to appreciate, but now I love it. Highly recommended.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
