One of my favorites!

This is one of the best inks I've come across! I never would have tried it before I got it in a random sampler, but I recommend it to everybody. It's quick drying, gets nice feathering, looks interesting, works great on all kinds of paper, and it's waterproof!

Exxcellent product, excellent company

I love De Atramentis Document Ink. I use it in my inexpensive fude fountain pen, and it works beautifully. I use it for urban sketching, inking first, and then using watercolors over it. It never lifts or bleeds, as long as it's dry before painting.

Great for a lefty!

Love this ink. I didn't expect to like it when I got it in a random sampler, but it's my new favorite and now I want to try a bunch of other De Atramentis document ink. It dries quickly, doesn't smear under my hand, doesn't feather or bleed through cheap paper, and gets some lovely shading on Moleskine paper. It's lighter in person than this photo shows.

Ink is great

Ink looks fine, so far no clog in pen, good for drawing.

Lovely dark brown ink waterproof once dry. Can be combined with gold metallic watercolor by brushing the gold onto the back of the nib with a paint brush. I use it with a super flex nib to achieve a copperpoint look. I recommend this ink. Sonja

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
