not great for occasional use

Reviewed in Australia on 16 October 2020

Colour Name: TurquoiseSize Name: 62.5mlVerified Purchase

An attractive, sufficiently bold colour that I use for notes that need to stand out.

If this ink is not used a lot then it will darken while in the nib, so that what is written next will start out dark and gradually become the intended turquoise (cyan) as more is written. I routine let the darker ink soak into a tissue before writing so that I get a consistent colour. The ink in the pen "tank" does not darken. Nor does ink that has dried on paper.

I've been using it with Jinhao 911 and 51A pens.

Buono ma attenzione all’imballo un po’ leggerino!

Reviewed in Italy on 24 October 2018

Colour Name: Brilliant BlackSize Name: 30mlVerified Purchase

Buon prodotto, arrivato nei tempi corretti è molto valido per la sua scorrevolezza, trovo il colore (nero nel mio caso) non troppo intenso come vorrei ma è un prodotto di buon livello.

L’imballo è un po’ leggerino (un pacchetto di cartone avvolto nel pluriball) che in caso di rottura del tappo non proteggerebbe in alcun modo la spedizione.

La scrittura è fluida e senza particolari inceppature, asciuga rapidamente e non lascia cattivo odore.

Consiglio di esaurirlo entro 1 anno massimo per evitare la fastidiosa formazione di grumi.

Consigliato per chi cerca un buon inchiostro “entry level”

Ideal for 'wet'-writing pens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 May 2017

Colour Name: Brilliant BlackSize Name: 30mlVerified Purchase

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.

Un color más bonito de lo que aparenta

Reviewed in Spain on 7 December 2019

Colour Name: Royal BlueSize Name: 30mlVerified Purchase

La tinta la puedes usar para dos vertientes, una, ser un hipster o un viejuno que le mola escribir con pluma de las antiguas o bien para, con una jeringuilla, regargar cartuchos.
En cualqueira de ambas opciones he de decir que el color de la tinta es una maldita preciosidad, un azul tan intenso que el mar correo de envidio, que el cielo llora de impotencia al no alcanzar la magnitud de color aquí expuesto, un color que todo príncipe desearía denotar en sus venas; y es, nótese por el lector, umn amor poético influenciado por el color al haberme yo manchose los dedos de tinta no-férrica y dejar el efluvio del arte sobre mis dedos.
En caso de producto plus, recomiendo la compra.

Amazing Violet ink

Reviewed in India on 27 April 2018

Colour Name: VioletSize Name: 62.5mlVerified Purchase

[27/04/2018] I purchased this ink on 7th Nov, 2017. I only now got an opportunity to use this ink and I really love the violet colour.

INK : The ink is of a very good quality. Though it is more on the drier side, it flows really good even in my parker ( Parker pens usually write on the drier side). However do keep in mind that if you use a dry ink in a dry writing pen, you will see some skips between words especially if you write fast.

COLOUR : The colour is a very deep purple(or violet). It's not too dark that it looks black nor too light that it looks pink. However do keep in mind that the first time you start to write after a few hours gap, it looks like a very dark purple, but after a word or two you get to see it's actual colour.

SHADING : It has a good amount of shading and i can say I'm happy about it. Due to the fact I used a dry parker pen, shading might not be so apparent in the picture attached, but I can tell you it shades well. It will shade even better with a wet pen and broader nib. Don't expect too much shading if your using low quality paper. Unfortunately my camera wasn't able to pick up the shading very well, but trust me it's there

SHEEN : There is no sheen in this ink

DRY TIME : As the ink is more on the drier side, it dries fairly quick. It does however depend on the pen and paper your using.

GHOSTING : There is some ghosting on classmate notebook paper and I believe it will be very prominent on a cheaper paper. There is absolutely no ghosting on JK Cedar paper

BLEED THROUGH : No bleed through with classmate and JK Cedar. I don't think you will have much problem with bleed through unless the paper is of very poor quality

EASE OF CLEANING : Purple inks are usually fairly hard to clean compared to other colours. This ink too is a bit stubborn and if you wish to change ink colours I recommend that you soak the feed section over night.

CRUD : No crud (This means crust like formation which can be seen on the sides of the bottle cap or on the nib of the pen)

SMELL : Ink does not have any unpleasant odour

OVERALL : It's a great ink and I recommend it to anyone who loves violet/purple inks.

Wonderful, beautifully coloured free flowing ink

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 March 2019

Colour Name: VioletSize Name: 30mlVerified Purchase

This is the first time I’ve used Pelikan ink. I had a Parker pen as a present from my son that I’d wanted to use, but the pen never really wrote properly. I’ve recently bought an ink converter and ink in a last ditch attempt to be able to use the pen.

It’s been a revelation! I’m now using the pen at any opportunity. I can’t use it at work, but for everything else.
