Customer Reviews
I love everything about this ink. I go through it more quickly than any ink. As a lefty, I enjoy that it doesn't smudge as much as some. The color is extremely soothing to me. I loved my standard sepia ink, but wanted something a little less drab. This is a rosy color with the hints of nostalgic sepia undertones. I use it for lists and Journaling.
I do prefer it with a bit more substantial nib. I don't think it would be great with a fine tip. Medium is my recommendation.
if you get it, you get it. this ink is beautiful and well behaved. cult classic status.
Only swatched so far. Looking for a pinker pink... This was more peachy, but still will be enjoyed. Thank you for prompt and safe delivery, quality service. Keep thise Pencasts coming!!
It's a beautiful ink but I wouldn't put it in a pen smaller than a medium. The formula is a bit dry but I'm fine with that. If you like unique colors this will be right up your alley.
I ordered the sample for my partner and she really liked it!! I'm glad we got to try it out first with the sample! This ink is a beautiful rose gold color and works great for journaling and writing letters. The ink bottle is also nice and the ink looks really pretty in her Rose Gold TWSBI ECO :)
FAQs about Bottled Ink
Which pens can accept this ink?
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?
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?
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?
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?
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!
