30ml glass bottle of Private Reserve Infinity Ultramarine fountain pen ink.

The Private Reserve Infinity Ink collection uses the E.C.O. (Extended Cap Off) technology, a new advanced ink formula which allows a fountain pen user to leave their pen uncapped for a longer period of time without drying out.

Your exact results will vary based on your specific pen, environment, etc, but our testing was pretty consistent to be able to leave a fountain pen uncapped for an hour and to have it start writing back up without issue.

Great ink for pens that dry out quickly

I was skeptical about this one. I have a Jinhao 159 that will dry out in less than a day even when capped. This ink has solved its problem. It has been capped for almost a week and will start up without skipping at all! I had tried several other inks and this is the only one that will work in this pen. It is even a pretty blue ink. I think this ink would allow you to have a pen uncapped for some time as intended. The ink is not very wet for me, but does lay down a nice even flow. It doesnt feather on copy paper, and looks great and has good dry times on Tomoe River paper. Definitely an ink that I will us in finicky pens.

I love this ink for the cap-off performance

The cap-off claims have merit - tried 60 minutes with no issues (cool room temp, ~40% rel. humidity)... The pen used was a Waterman Fine with average wetness/flow, chosen because the nib tends to dry out if left unused for several weeks. So far, with this ink, it hasn't hard started yet. The ink seems to have rather low viscosity which must allows it to flow better without being overly wet (in start contrast to Lamy Crystal Obsidian, which has a sticky thickness). So it flows kind of like a wetter ink, but without leaving a blobs of ink behind. The color is intense, just as claimed. Rating the parameters is tough - Water resistance is about average. Running water over writing on copy paper, post-its, and Midori fountain pen friendly paper left behind a legible impression, but it was fainter. The copy paper retained the ink a bit better. , it doesn't really shade - maybe because it's not wet in the regular sense of ink wetness. It seems more like rollerball ink once written. Dry time is very paper dependent. Fast on copy paper, Average (3-4 sec) on Midori paper. Looking forward to trying this ink with an EF, dry writer.

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!
