Feathers badly. Stinks ; strong odor

I have purchased many inks over the past 5 years. Never have I used a sailor brand ink, and so far I'm not impressed by my first experience. This is mostly due to the strong chemical odor of the ink. It smells like plastic, and HARSH. Apparently it's the smell of "phenol", which supposedly curbs bacterial growth or something. I don't know what exactly it does but one thing is for sure - it smells bad. I mean even after the ink is dry, it lingers on the paper. I wrote two sentences then emptied the pen and reinked it with a noodler's brand and STILL the phenol smell remains on my pen. I'm astounded. I'm beating a dead horse at this point so I have no idea if you, the reader of this review, have rolled you eyes and moved on... but if you made it this far, please take heed: THIS STUFF IS STANKY! I like the shading and the color is pretty cool, but I can't get over its biggest downfall. As I mentioned before, I re-inked it with a Noodler's brand which I actually enjoy the smell. If you have covid, I'd recommend this ink 7/10. Otherwise its a 4/ 10 in my book Lol!One other negative aspect is the feathering. It is pretty bad on most paper, including rhodia, tomoe river, and Leuchtturm1917.

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
