How do you know you're married to the write person?

She buys you a Sailor 1911S Wicked Witch of the West pen (because my grad school's color is purple) and a bottle of Sailor Ink Studio 950 to go with it. (I bought her a Lamy Studio EF and a bottle of Bernanke Black, because I'm trying to get my lefty to adopt fountain pens.) Personally, I think a pen with that name should be filled with bilious green ink, but bilious green isn't a color from any school I attended. The ink color is so heavily saturated it is black in most light, with just a hint of purple showing in warm light. It is a beautiful ink. It is an ink I could take to work except that I work in a regulated industry and I must follow the standard operating procedures. Our SOPs require (1) blue ink (not black, not purple) and (2) ballpoint pens. A point has been stretched to permit roller balls, but fountain pens are a huge no-no. I'd reflect on using acetone to lift ballpoint signatures, but that would be a digression. The ink works beautifully in the WWotW (EF nib), which is where it will be used for at least a year due to Sailor's warranty requirements. If I ever run out, I would buy another bottle: it's good in my journal and for personal letter writing for those times when I want something other than Midway Blue or Pilot Blue. It doesn't seem to be terribly paper sensitive. It's okay on 20 lb copier paper and it's way better than okay on the Caselli notebook I'm journaling in right now and in the At-a-Glance calendar I use to track my time in. It's a dream on Mnemosyne paper. I can't speak to water resistance .

Smooth ink, nice color

I wanted a subtle, almost-black purple that would flow nicely in a fine nib. This one fits the bill perfectly.

purple ink for my purplish pen

I wanted some ink to use in my new pen. I got this ink (and a few others) to use in a Monteverde Invincia Nebula pen to match the pens color. Don't take my advice! I am now thinking of spending even more money at Goulet on pens and inks and papers. I've seen where Brian doesn't think ink should be pluralized. If your talking of several inks of differing hues or colors wouldn't that be plural, like monies? Anyhow, I am thinking of more pens, more inks and to **** with my bank balance. OK, bottom line, the ink is great. I have resisted buying Sailor pens as I have heard using other inks in their pens can void the warranty and I like my other inks at least as well as Sailor's.

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
