Questions & Answers

My first thought was that I was purchasing tattoo ink to be used As long as I had it, I would have What will happen to me if it hurts ?

You should probably see a doctor with the ink bottle, but just to be sure make sure

What kind of sable brush is recommended for this?

Despite the fact that I haven't tried it with sable, I have used it for ink paintings with synthetic brushes and it works just fine. A smooth flow of ink results in a cool, gray color after it dilutes. I agree with the previous poster that the undiluted ink isn't a perfect I like this color as it's a deep, soft charcoal.

What does it look like? Will it fit in a stamp pad? Do you have pen jars or bottles of ink (I stopped using fountain pens and now have bottles)?

You shouldn't put them in the pad, as they will dry

Ink that dries in Brilliant Black has a glossy finish, right?

My opinion is that it is not glossy. It depends on what you mean by

It will save you much headache and agony if you read it
5/5

Fountain pens are something I look forward to using quite a bit. It looks amazing, feels great, and is personalized exactly how I like it. There's almost nothing that isn't covered. I have had an overwhelming problem with fountain pens being incompatible with what I write on and on what I write with. Working at your typical day job using low quality paper is my normal day job. often, fountain pen or ink reviews are done on high quality paper that allows the true character of the pen/ink to shine through. However, we tend to write with our pens on substandard paper most of the time. It is unnerving to see a pen write beautifully on one paper, but then write like doo doo on a piece of paper that you use every day. When you first enter the hobby, this is a problem. So you have to debug before you can achieve the results you want to see. In the first place it would be logical to purchase a pen with a finer nib. Who doesn't love buying new pens, which is everyone's favourite excuse! It suddenly doesn't work with the finer nib! Now you're back to the blotchy lines that you love to hate. Suddenly all the other ideas of what is wrong flow. Could it be that I have never used a fountain pen before? Does it feel like there is too Is it possible the writer is wet? I can assure you that this is a very frustrating place to be and I have been there myself. I find it especially embarrassing when cheap coworkers' ballpoints will look better than your blotchy writing from a "mythical fountain pen" that you paid a lot You can rest assured that the solution to all your problems is contained within this little bottle if you are at this point. Everything is fine, except the ink. Your pens work fine. You're writing perfectly fine. All you need is Despite the bad paper, you can write with this ink comfortably on it since it is the driest ink you will ever use. A single drop of ink does not bleed onto the paper. Using the signature fountain pen wisps you've seen everyone but you do, you get crisp, clear lines that you've only seen on the web! The category of self proclaimed "dry inks" that I have read and purchased does not come close to this. Honestly, this makes the best ink that you can use day by day in the office. This is a very useful product from Pelikan and we are grateful for it.

Ink that I have used for years as my preferred sketching ink
5/5

The book is not Having used Pelikan inks for many years, I can vouch for their quality. In addition to using it in my Rotring fountain pens and Rotring Art Pens, I also use it in my The paints I use together with my Schmincke and Daniel Smith watercolors are mostly what I use for my artwork. Additionally, I use the tool for writing on Fabriano Medioavalis Paper as well as drawing with it. On this paper it looks so smooth and neat, with little gradations of intensity that make the lines and letters more attractive. There is no waterproof factor in this ink, so if you need your ink to be waterproof, this is not the formula you should use. It IS NOT waterproof, but I particularly like this ink for that reason. The tool is a great companion to my watercolor painting, or drawing with washed lines. The Pelikan ink that I use with my Pelikan pen is a mixable ink, so I create a variety of colors with it. Please note To mix colors in a fountain pen, it is best to use the very same brand of ink and the same It is the equivalent of putting glue in your fountain pen if you mix inks from different manufacturers or formulas. There can be a chemical reaction between the different formulas that can cause this to happen, resulting in the possible ruining of I am 100% satisfied with the quality of the ink, clean and vibrant colors. Black, blue, white, and gold are my favorite colors Black, brown, turquoise, and green are the principal colors. The colors work well mixing these, and I enjoy sketching with some of the lines and applying little washes to them. Adding interesting elements to a sketch gives it more life. There is no doubt in my mind that Pelikan 4001 ink is worth every penny.

As expected, there is an However, it dries a little slower than quink* Other than that, it is about the same
5/5

The bottle costs more than that of quink* but I've seen that 1 liter one, It doesn't appear that I need to buy a liter of ink. My half of a converter in a test pen is exhausted and I think I have found the difference between this and quink. I got a lot of quink and I've been using it for awhile, but you have to refill the converter when the pen starts skipping. The normal thing to do. I got an anxiety attack when the converter on my sample pen completely ran out, and yet My first action was to clean the pen and found that there was almost no ink left in the body. There was no need to rinse it twice. The pen never skipped when I cleaned it and it was probably the easiest clean I have ever done. There was no moisture left in the air. Neither quink nor anyone else treated me in such a manner. There is always skippy and the pen body has to be rinsed like 4 times, getting paler and paler each time. That would never have occurred to me.

You need to buy this in store
3/5

It is counterfeit! My thoughts are that I have received a counterfeit ink or Pelikan has changed their formula, both highly unlikely. I have the exact same bottle from over a year ago, and I purchased the new one. It smells horrible, is super wet (drips on everything), and is blue in color compared to my old bottle. It does not have the same quality at all. There is a strong burnt plastic smell to the new ink, and it is very wet as you can see. I think I have aged just by writing about it. Smear tests don't have nearly as good coverage, and they dry so slow I think I have. Even after almost 30 minutes, the two drops on the paper have not yet absorbed! If you're going to buy it in a store, make sure you buy it from a reputable seller. Amazon needs to do a better job at weeding out fake items. It is being returned!.

The ink and the container are great
5/5

The ink for fountain pens is excellent. The dippers (with no cartridge or refill tube) that are old but still serviceable can be used with this solution. It writes quite a while when you dip a fountain pen in oil, like it used to when it was wet with water. That's what this ink and container are great for! The black ink is dark and nice as it Easily smudges without affecting the text. My favorite part of the container is the lid. As opposed to some brands, the inside of the top does not become coated in ink. The fact that I take the top on and off several times a day makes this important. It is easier to use than other ink brands, and there is less mess to clean up after use. As soon as it runs out, I will buy it again.

It's a nice print
5/5

The Pelikan 4001 series ink seems to turn off a lot of people. The blues aren't that good Since the creation of black ink, it has been a rock-steady For me, this pen continues to produce solid performance since I have been using fountain pens for fifteen years. You can use it with all kinds of pens, and you can use it with most papers. Therefore, when I wanted to add a black ink for use in some of my pens, I thought I'd try 4001 first. Exceeded my expectations. As reliable and easy to use as blue ink, it's been a great choice. A black color. There are no complaints to make.
