Bottled Ink
The ritual before the words
Selecting a bottle of fountain pen ink feels like choosing the mood you want to write in. It’s a small ritual that sparks creativity and signals the writing matters, even if only to you.
Choose dye based fountain pen inks for easy care, documents inks with pigment particles for water and fade-resistance, or vibrant artist inks for use with dip pens or brushes. As a general rule, Japanese inks tend to have higher flow than their European counterparts.
See our favourite inks in our guide to the Top 7 Pilot Iroshizuku inks. For document inks, we like the German made De Atramentis featured in our Sketch Kits.
Bottled inks are the most economical, but if you'd prefer to try a sample first, have a look at our generous 5mL vials, with a wide openings, for direct filling of your pen.
