Aubergine

I am a very conservative fountain pen ink user. But I discovered lately the beauty of using colors with fountain pens. Aubergine cannot disappoint you, the color is gorgeous and it is very rich, ie not watery. I love it and would recommend it to anyone who likes using new colors!

Deep Purple

Deep color that shines best on white paper. Nice flow. Limited shading.

My new favorite purple ink!

Wow! This is my new favorite purple ink. The color is like a darker Poussier de Lune. For me, it doesn't show so much red as in the picture on my computer, which I like. It's just a nice deep purple with some grey or smokiness in it. And it is very well behaved. No bleedthrough, feathering, or anything like that. It doesn't shade much, but it's so dark that it is to be expected. I have it in a Lamy Dialog CC with a medium nib and it is flowing beautifully. It's nice an wet. I cannot believe I didn't discover this ink before now!!! Oh, and it has a slight gold sheen to it!

Fantastic purple ink

Been looking for a purple ink for a while, this is my first go around with De Atramentis but it won't be my last. A great ink with a rich deep color, fast drying and looks great through my medium nib pen, I recommend this ink

Great color

This is a great color. I put it in my pen yet, because I have a specific pen that I want to use it in, but I can't wait.As usual the shipping and handling by Goulet Pens was top notch!!

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

We do not accept returns for ink that has been used. Otherwise, we accept returns on unused ink products for up to 30 days from purchase. You can read all our Return Policies here.
