Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink – 50 ml Bottle – Kon-peki Deep Azure Blue (Japan Import)

I'd heard people refer to Pilot IRO inks as the "WD40" of the ink world, and I can see why. These flow beautifully even in problematic pens or dry pens and deliver pretty consistent performance in others. The only time I've shied away from this ink line is if working with a gusher of a pen or a broad nib as it can get away from you a bit. I'm actually amazed at how rich the color is considering its watery consistency and saturation levels which make cleanup after use super easy. No worries about staining - at least in my experience. The Yama Budo is one of my favorites in this line. A deep and rich burgundy with a touch of purple. I wouldn't necessarily refer to it as a magenta as it lacks that bright pinkish color. More like what I imagined a red wine stain looking like or what happens when you crush concord grapes skins between your fingers. The one relative con is that it's not at all water resistant. The easy in getting it off your pens and fingers also translates to the page, but I don't mind. In a fine nib, this rarely bleeds through even composition paper, making it my go-to for grading sessions.

This ink works so well and the color is perfect. The bottle looks like something that colnonge would come and looks great on any desk.

Excellent ink and color!

I absolutely fell in love with this color!!!! Bring that I have played around with calligraphy dip pens and still do. I’ve never tried a fountain pen to write with on a daily basis. This ink is sooooooo smooth and the color out of this world. It is nice to write with something other than black,blue, or red. For around 30 bucks a bottle you can’t beat that and I’m sure it is worth more glad to have bought it at such an affordable price.

Iroshizuku ink by pilot makes some of my favorite inks. They flow well and the colors are true to the swatches. Especially great beginner fountain pen enthusiast ink.

These are my favorite inks across three continents of traveling and writing by hand. From the beautiful bottles (which even come in very pretty boxes) to absolutely gorgeous ink colors, I've got no complaints. This particular color dries fast enough for me as a right-y, and only feathers on cheap paper... which you shouldn't be using a fountain pen on anyway. Through both Japanese and European nibs ranging from EF to Bold, these inks are my go-to. Lots of places on the internet you can look at real examples of the colors, and I'd recommend you do that to get a feel for what you want, but my favorites from this line are Ama-iro, Kon-Peki, and Tsuki-yo.

Great colour, it really stands out!

This is beautiful, vibrantly-colored ink, but the lid on the bottle is about the worst ever. The material is very thin and fragile. Needless to say, the lid arrived cracked horizontally along 80 percent of its circumference, and purple ink had spilled all over the papers and other contents of the box. I had also ordered the peacock-colored ink, and even though the lid remained in one piece (amazingly), ink had still managed to escape the bottle, and got on my hands and fingers when I tried to clean it up. At the very least, there should be a secondary silicone stopper inside the lid for shipping to prevent this sort of mess. Also, make a BIGGER stronger lid, perhaps adding a company design element you can be proud of.

This is a light and delicate ink which is probably badly described as a brown green grey. Imagine Armani sepia. Lovely tones and what the pen chaps describe as well behaved. Have 6 colours now and this is probably the most everyday useful ink but that doesn't mean it's not beautiful.

Muito bonita, escreve bem

Die Tinte kommt in einer hochwertigen Silbernen Verpackung. Die Farbe ist wunderschön und fließt gut aus dem Füller. Gekauft als Akzentfarbe aber ich glaube sie wird meine neue tägliche Tinte.

Inchiostro consegnato perfettamente integro. Il colore è bellissimo.
