Pelikan Cartridge
Ink
Pelikan cartridges
fit into several different pens that use the international refill. They can be
used in, among others the Bexley, Montblanc, OMAS, Pelikan, Parker, and Waterman
fountain pens. They come six to a box for only $2.20
per box.
"Fount India"
is a very deep black ink recommended for use in fountain pens. It is described
as drawing "ink for fountain pens. Opaque, lightfast". We suggest cleaning
the pen before and directly after using any drawing inks. For this intense black
color it may be worth the trouble.
We have Namiki ink and cartridges for
sale. The ink comes in both Black seen
to the leftand
Blue, seen just below.
Our
Price: $10.00 per bottle
Unfortunately, we can only provide ink accompanying a purchase
of a pen or nib, or with a repair order. We provide ink as a service for our customers.
The cartridges come standard 12/box
in Blue, Black and Blue/Black for $5 each. We also
have Red, Green and Purple 6/box for $3 each. Unfortunately,
we can only provide ink accompanying a purchase of a pen or nib, or with a repair
order.
Pilot and Namiki pens take either a
cartridge or a converter. Many of our customers prefer to use the converter at
home or at the office because it is easily filled from the bottle. The cartridge
on the other hand is very convenient for travel: after air travel, a new sealed
cartridge can be popped into the back of a pen, with no fear of leakage due to
changes in pressure. The cartridges also come in a greater range of color.
Sailor
Cartridge & Bottled Inks
Cartridges
We carry Sailor
Ink Cartridges. Coming 12 to a pack in Black, Blue, Blue Black and Red. These
fit all sailor pens that take a cartridge/converter. At $6.55
each these are a convenience, especially for travel.
Red
Ink! Remember to flush your pen using the
converter between cartridges or if you plan to store it for a while.
Bottled Ink
We now have dense Sailor colors available in bottles! At $13.25/bottle
these gourmet inks are delicious.
These
are some of the most intense colors we have. The yellow orange is stunning and
the red brown is deep and rich. The green is a
warm
green, with a hint of yellow. The blue is ultramarine blue. The gray, blue black
and black are excellent examples of their name color and the brown is earthy and
deeper than Pelikan's.
Rich and full, these colors sink in and leave a lasting
impression on the paper...and on your hands! As you can see in the left hand image,
the black, green, yellow and red stain. Even our best ink remover couldn't remove
them entirely. We love the colors just be careful with your hands...and white
shirts.
Sheaffer Skrip is also known by us
as Shop ink. The newly designed bottle contains 50 ml, slightly less
then the traditional Skrip bottle, and has a large footprint to avoid tipping
over. It is a strong and bright blue. We use this
ink in our shop primarily because it can be washed off of our hands at the end
of the day and is quite reasonable in price. Bottles get consumed every month.
We only carry this one color. At $6.50 a bottle
it is an affordable good ink. We have never seen it plug a fountain pen.
Various brands and colors of inks will work differently in fountain pens. We suggest
you try a few and see how you like them with your pen and writing style. Note
that using cartridges only can result in a clogged feed. We recommend that you
occasionally either fill with the converter or use the converter to clean the
inner workings of your pen. If you are concerned that a water base ink used
on an envelope that might get wet and run, rub it with candle wax. This will seal
the ink under a transparent layer.
Ink!
