First full bottle I bought!

I got the sample and put it in my TWSBI eco and as a lefty I love this ink. Pilot inks never let me down, and this shade of pink is easy to see, which I love. It doesn't really shade MUCH, but I love it. It behaves so well.

Lovely color

I'm very happy with this ink. It's a beautiful rose, not too pale on the page, and flows well from my BENU fine-nib pen. It's more water resistant than I would have expected. Very pleased with my purchase.

Pink if you don't like PINK

After buying 2 samples I decided to buy the bottle. :< The first thing that really caught me (after seeing I got a red tootsie pop!) was the silver box - just very nice & surprising - I don't normally comment on packaging. Taking the bottle out of the box, I literally said wow... It's such a simple and elegant bottle - elegant in it's simplicity. Now for the ink - it's a very beautiful shade that I think iof as more of a light red than a pink. So many pinks are cotton candy or bubble gum or neon - but this, like the bottle, is an understated and elegant shade. In my Monteverde F, it flows nicely and has shading to it, and the overall shading rating is lower that what I've experienced. Overall this ink impressed me from start to finish. This was such a pleasant surprise, as I've bought bottle of inks for years, this is the only one that caught me off guard, in good way, especially at this price.

Its pink.

I like it. I have only tried it in a Pilot Metropolitan with a medium nib.

Holy Cow!

It took me two samples before I finally ordered a bottle and I'm so glad I did! It's such a vibrant and bright pink; it looks amazing on white or cream-colored paper. It has a great flow, very saturated, and bonus (!!!) it dries extremely fast!

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!

What is your return policy for bottled ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B
