Beautiful blue/black ink

I have so much ink that sometimes I forget what I have! I rediscovered this ink in my collection and pulled it out to use in my Diplomat Aero Midnight Blue pen. Wow!! It's a lovely blue/black or very dark blue. It's wetter than average and flows really well. It doesn't really shade, but as it is a dark blue, that is to be expected. It's drying time is average on Rhodia paper. And the price is great. Great ink!!!

A very good in for this dry pen, dark blue in this pen, near black in other pens. Better than Parker inks.

High quality, durable, good flow, good color

This color isn't my personal favorite, but it has the advantage of being an interesting shade of dark blue/navy. It has a little more green lean than some inks, putting it, IMO, in the same general category as Yonaga from Sailor. It's subtle, but it has the advantage of being relatively matte, for those who don't like having an overly sheeny ink. Despite the darkness, I think with a good wet and broad nib you can find some decent shading, especially out of a stub. It's more water resistant than the other colored Herbin inks, which also puts it in a class of its own next to Perle Noire. The color itself is probably just not quite the right shade for me, but it's a solid ink and a good one to have around.

The best blue

I am nuts for blue inks. I know, they're basic but they can be amazing. And this is probably my favorite of them. It's well saturated, has great flow, and has a beautiful deep color. I absolutely love it and will make sure to always have a bottle on hand.

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
