Pelikan4001 Ink Bottle 30 ml Pack of 1 red

This Violet is a beautiful colour. A very good quality ink. Would recommend

I love the colour. It is not as I expected but it is beautiful.

A truly brilliant black ink, and once fully dry (on paper), quite resistant to being washed off.

This is a nice flowing ink which dries quite quickly and has a good colour. It does, though, appear to be 'bluer' than the ink in Pelikan Blue-Black cartridges which dries to a slightly 'greyer' tone. If you are used to the colour in the cartridges you may be disappointed (unless I had an 'odd' batch of cartridges)

i do like unusual ink , this one is very nice

Any fountain pen manufacturer who also markets their own range of inks will ensure they match the writing characteristics of that brand. Hence Parker will always recommend Parker Quink inks. Cross, Waterman and Sheaffer do the same and they may sometimes suggest that not using the matching brand of ink will either invalidate the guarantee or cause damage - it rarely does with the top ink brands. Of the four pen brands mentioned, only Sheaffer's ink is 'wet', very free-flowing and slow-drying on many papers; all the others are 'dry', more viscous and slow-flowing. It may be worth noting that Cross' bottled inks are identical to Pelikan 4001 but rebottled and relabelled! There are many other brands of ink of which few are available internationally, most only in the country of manufacture and whose characteristics may be unknown or variable.Any pen/nib combination that lays down a lot of ink (writes wet) and takes a long time to dry until it resists smudging will need a 'dry' or slow-flowing and quick drying ink to compensate; conversely, those combinations that are more meager with their ink need a wetter, faster-flowing ink if the written line is to be sufficiently dark and legible. Generally, broader and italic nibs write wet; finer nibs are typically drier writers although exceptions exist. Pelikan Royal Blue and Brilliant Black were purchased for the express purpose of use with a very wet-writing pen.The Pelikan 4001 ink range is mostly washable and are all 'dry' writing. The more expensive Pelikan Edelstein range is quite different in formulation, colours, bottles and, apparently, their writing characteristics. Typically, horizontal strokes and curves with some inks can be lighter than verticals where there is a possibility of overlaying up-strokes and down-strokes with ink laid upon ink. The 4001 range comprises quite saturated colours and contain a relatively high proportion of dye(s) and the lighter colours tend to produce limited visible shading or added character to the written line. Darker Pelikan inks are monotonal and probably better suited to specific situations where clarity and high legibility are essential; written exams, form-filling and musical notation are among those where they could work well. There are seven currently available colours including royal blue, turquoise, red, green, brown, black and violet that are all normally sold in 30 ml bottles but double-size bottles are offered in some countries.Pelikan was originally a pen manufacturer and their inks were then intended as their ideal companions. The 4001 range are recent formulations using synthetic dyes but they are equally suited to many other pen brands and are considered 'safe' and unlikely to ever cause damage to a pen (some inks are not recommended for certain pen models and sometimes brands). If you know that your fountain pen writes a very wet line with your present ink choice, then Pelikan 4001 inks are a potential solution as they are quite viscous (gloopy); that is my situation with a specific pen. If the pen is writing dry, Pelikan 4001 inks are best avoided as their naturally slower flow will not provide a sufficient ink level to prevent drop-outs of missing characters. They will need a 'wet' ink, e.g. most from Diamine, Noodlers, Herbin.Although another brand of ink is a personal general preference and is available in 100-plus colours, their inks are mostly very wet-writing and not suitable for my current favourite pens, a Pilot Capless and Pilot Decimo respectively fitted with Broad and Medium nibs. The same inks work superbly in other brands of fountain pen.

Great blue-black ink from the legendary PelikanRecommended

I brought this along with a converter for all of my fountain pens after I decided that the cost of ink cartridges was the more expensive way to go. This ink, on the other hand, is extremely cheap to use. After some time, I have not gone through an entire bottle, compared to where I could go through a couple of cartridges a week.The ink quality is superb, on use with Parker pen; the writing experience is smooth as the nib and ink sit so well together. To quote another reviewer I have found “No clogging, no nib sludge”, just an elegant writing experience.If you use ink cartridges, get this. It will save you money, and some cases give a better writing experience as well as a “blue-black” good colour combination (Ink) that is the best I have found so far, therefore highly recommended.

The color is good, though a tad bright. Mixed (accidentally) with a little black ink, it looks lavender.

A beautiful brilliant blueish color. A bit dark when the pen comes to a stop, e.g. at the end of a letter, but I believe that has more to do with the pen and its ink flow. Not very waterproof at all, if you get some water on it it will easily blur out and become completely illegible (but if you get it on your skin you will need to do a bit of scrubbing to remove it); so if you need something for official documents that absolutely cannot be washed out, you may want to consider another type of ink. However, it works just fine for letters, checks, etc., and looks even better if used with a medium/calligraphy nib.

Tinta de bia qualidade, com definição firme, cor viva.

Purchased this to refill a fountain pen and it works very well. The lid is easy to use and minimises messes yet prevents the ink from drying out between uses. The ink itself is smooth and hasn't separated. The re-filled fountain pen works like a charm and hasn't clogged!
