Nice darkish red ink that leans purple, not brown

I put this ink in a Safari with a medium nib. I want to try it in one of my TWSBIs when it's time for a refill. The ink flows well, dries relatively quickly, & is distinctly red, not so dark that color cannot be distinguished from black. I was looking for a darker red that doesn't look like dried blood on the page. This one leans toward the purple, not rust end of the red spectrum, which is what I wanted. My first impressions are good, but I want to see in in a pen with a juicier nib.

Lovely purpley brick red

A dark red tending toward purplish, quite wet, but not too dark to show some nice shading. In a Pelikan M600 fine, it is very free flowing!

A luscious saturated burgundy oh so slightly skewed toward purple

This is a beautiful burgundy ink. The color is almost identical to the color of Monetverde Napa Burgundy, but is wetter than that ink. I've found that what distinguishes the color of burgundy inks is whether they shade toward red (more red dye) or purple (more blue dye.) This ink shades very slightly toward purple. If you like that color, you'll love this ink. However, I've found that mixing this ink 3:1 with Diamine Ancient Copper (i.e., 3 ml of Burgundy Royale with 1 ml of Ancient Copper) will slake the purple. I choose Ancient Copper because I thought the orange/brown would partially correct the blue in the Burgundy Royale, bringing it back toward red. The difference in color is subtle but real. Because Ancient Copper is a drier ink, the mixed ink will also be a bit drier than the Burgundy Royale. Burgundy Royale is a wet enough ink that the change is not a problem. Though not as expensive as some inks, at $0.40/ml this is not an inexpensive ink. That's why I could not give it the highest Value rating. I am adding this ink to my stable of regular inks.richard hargrove--If a million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing. - Anatole France

Beautiful Colour!

I'm thrilled with the colour of this ink. Burgundy can often be 'muddied'; this is a clear and brilliant hue.

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.

To initiate a return, please submit a request at the Return Portal. Our Customer Care team might reach out to you for more information.
