![]() ![]() I haven’t yet tested it’s lightfast claims but it’s on my current test sheet in a sunny window. After the forced week I’ve continued to use this ink for a month. It’s a good black ink, that I really enjoy for both writing and drawing. I forced myself to use it exclusively for a few weeks to determine if I could recommend it to my students and after a week of using it without a pen inked with Noodler’s Black, I can heartily do so. Some feathering on really really cheap copy papers but it did well on inexpensive sketch paper which is where I use it the most. I found it to be well behaved on most papers. The interesting thing is that even when SCRUBBED with a brush there is a good line left behind, almost as if just the top layer of ink is moving but the ink down in the paper hasn’t budged at all. ![]() ![]() When rubbing an eraser over it some ink lifts but what is left behind is not gray. Yellow will look dirty but cerulean blue won’t look like muddy water. The good thing with this is that the gray that is created is neutral and when mixed with watercolors you are not left with a muddy mess. When brushed over with water there is significant lifting of ink, at any point in time after writing but especially within the first hour. When put into a brush pen the line tends to gray out BUT when another layer of ink is. It was nicely lubricating and flowed well. I’ve used it in a variety of pens- TWSBI 530 M, Serwex Special, Serwex 77TR, Platinum Preppy, and the Camlin 11R and it performed flawlessly in all of them. Unlike true India ink this has no inky odor. Sadly the bottle is plastic, unlike the heavy glass bottles we had back then. The bottle comes with an integrated eyedropper that works really well, just like the bottles we had in my HS art class so many years ago. Which is a pretty typical price from what I can see at the online retailers. (I teach online art classes and I’m in process of writing and shooting one on drawing in pen and ink with a strong focus on using cheap fountain pens.) I found the 30 ml bottle at my local Artist &Craftsman for just under $5. Initially I bought this ink because I read online that it was waterproof and as a cheap alternative for Noodler’s Black that my online students can find in Europe. Pelikan Fount India by lessherger, on Flickr I’ve read on various places on the internet that it is a pigmented ink and thus pen care should be a little more stringent- regular flushing and cleaning of the pen.
