Insane feathering
The color is marvellous, hands down. A pleasant saturated blue. Shading and sheen are minimal, hence there is almost no smearing and it is very pleasant and easy to read. Combining all of this could have made this ink a perfect everyday blue. But it feathers INSANELY. On every kind of paper: from the cheapest copypaper and all the way up to Tomoe River. Which, of course, instakills any joy of using it. Only by going down from Visconti's M to a Japanese F nib could I make this ink behave in more or less acceptable manner. And even then I had a glimpse of feathering.
A huge and totally unforseen disappointment.
Gouletpens, though, is 5-star, as always. Keep up the good work!

Bright color and silky smooth
Heard good things and yes it feels very smooth like your writing with WD 40! And the color blue is clean and bright not dirty- very pleasant

One of my favorite inks!
This ink pairs perfectly with the Pilot Custom Heritage 912. The color is great and the flow is awesome!

Very nice ink; would buy it again.
I'm using it in my TWSBI Eco fine pt., and it is a lovely ink - very smooth, dries quickly, does not bleed through regular copy paper - which is what I use at school for notes. Does not feather, either. And, of course, I love the design of the bottle.

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!
What is your return policy for bottled ink?
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.
