Found my holy grail blue ink after YEARS of searching! I love this so much I ordered 3 more.

The short version of my review: This is a well-behaved ink with a BEAUTIFUL, unique sky blue base, and is worth trying on basis of this alone. The longer story: Years ago, I got a Noodler's Navy sample from Goulet Pens and became seriously obsessed with its sky blue base (which matched Goulet's swab nicely), which gave my writing an exquisitely unique pop of color I'd never seen in other blues. I got a second sample and full bottle, only to be massively let down--the color for these two was darker and duller, nothing like Goulet's bright swab. Ever since then, I've been on a hunt to find a lookalike ink, which proved difficult as there simply doesn't seem to be many inks with a sky blue base. Well, this is the lookalike right here. The resemblance to the Noodler's Navy swab is uncanny, and it's a lovely, well-behaved ink. And as mentioned, I ordered 3 more. Zero regrets! Shading is on the lesser side, sadly, but the uniqueness of the color makes up for it. There also seems to be a tiny bit of sheen which is most likely to occur when your pen has been left uncapped for some minutes prior to resuming writing. I believe the dry time is somewhat longer than average.

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
