Customer Reviews
COLOR: I first bought this ink in search of something akin to Montblanc's Petrol blue. Although I own both, I use Rainy Day far more than Petrol. Capturing the true teal tint of Rainy Day in photos is challenging. Goulet's ink swatch is the best approximation, though there remains a noticeable difference between my own Col-O-Ring+Tomoe River swatch and the Goulet swatch on my screen (Liquid Retina display). Rainy Day is not a true/pure blue, nor is it a true blue-grey. If you are looking specifically for a true blue-grey, then Rainy Day will deliver more teal than you expect. Attached is a swatch comparison (taken on an iPhone, which was more accurate in this case than a Google Pixel but still less accurate than Goulet's professional photographers), which still fails to convey the true color.FLOW: Easily flows in a Pilot Vanishing Point (EF). I use this pen-ink combination on a near-daily basis and find it to be a pleasantly smooth writing experience.SPECIAL QUALITIES: Moderate shader (more noticeable on Rhodia paper than on Col-O-Ring). Even with heavy application on 52gsm Tomoe River paper, no special qualities were observed, though the outer edges of ink drops were noticeably darker. Because it dries relatively quickly, I find it great for note-taking.READABILITY: Easily readable.
I love this the best in a wet flex pen. The only downside is the flow is not as wet as I would like. Definitely not wet like writer's blood. You're flex pen will hard start sometimes.
Love the color of this ink. Medium, grayish blue, like a favorite pair of faded blue jeans. Using a medium nib with a Lamy LX pen, the ink flowed smoothly, even when I wrote fast. Perfect for poetry or journaling on a rainy afternoon. Subtle color, easy on the eyes, that dries quickly.
Beautiful color, but like most Colorverse inks (looking at you, Brunch Date), it's a bit dry. I'd use it in a wetter pen for the best experience.
This is the first ink I have tried that can be described as dry. I do love the colour though, and I like the fact that underlining on fairly thin paper it does not bleed through at all.
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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?
