PILOT Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Kon-Peki, Deep Blue (Turquoise Blue) 50ml Bottle (69212)

I’ve been using fountain pens since I learned to write in Europe in the 1960s, and I've always had a deep appreciation for the smooth, elegant experience of writing with one. Currently, I’m using a Caran d'Ache Leman Blue pen that I purchased during a trip to Geneva, which I absolutely love. I was on the hunt for a good ink to match my pen, and I tried the ink that Caran d'Ache makes, but it didn’t quite live up to what I was hoping for.Then I discovered PILOT Iroshizuku Kon-Peki, and it’s a game-changer. The flow is smooth and consistent, and the color is a beautiful, vibrant turquoise that is noticeably brighter and more vibrant than the ink I had been using. It has a great depth and richness, making writing feel like a pleasure each time.I highly recommend this ink to anyone who enjoys using a fountain pen. PILOT offers a wide range of colors, but this is the only one I’ve tried so far, and I’m very happy with it. It definitely elevates the experience of writing!

Pilot's Iroshizuku ink, what can I say that has already been said before? Let's just get this out of the way, this is bar none the best ink I've tried to date.What makes it great? It's flow. Even in a pilot vanishing point fine (new model) it glides across the paper with literally no pressure. Comparing this to parker quink or waterman inks that are usually dry with the vanishing point fine nib.The color of the ink is something else. I was never much of a blue fan until I saw this ink. It's just stands out on the paper.Speaking of paper, I had no issues with this ink on pretty much all types of paper. Cheap, expensive, they all work well. It does spread on my control paper (is use it to test feathering and such) but so does every fountain pen ink (pencil only paper). In addition to that, this ink dries quickly enough. I'm a lefty and haven't had any smear issues. I was actually worried about that when I first bought the ink due to reported long dry times but it seems that the Japanese fine nib I'm using negates that. If your a lefty, make sure to use a fine nib with this ink just in case.Now let's discuss everything else. The bottle, it's great. There's a indent at the bottom of the bottle to help drain every bit with a fountain pen. The bottle itself looks fantastic. Not something you would want to toss and could make a good decor piece. Price wise you are paying quite a bit more compared to other inks out there so I would not call this a good value. If anything, this ink is like driving a sports car. The experience itself is worth the extra money.If you enjoy writing with your fountain pen, this ink may just take that to the next level if you haven't tried it already. There's just something to be said for a ink that looks so nice and writes so smoothly, even on dry nibs.

I’m a fan of Iroshizuku inks. I was a little worried about ordering a full bottle from Amazon at such a discounted price but I need not have worried. It’s the wonderful Kon-Peki in a flawless bottle in the original box. Behaves well and is a beautiful color. 5 stars.

Meant to order a different product of similar name and color, but this has remained a very regretless & great purchase. Not only the unique color, it's insane flow when using, absolutely hooked to using it, now. Good if you want to make notes stick out without making them look absolutely depressing. Mind my handwriting. I can write cursive, not format it 😵‍💫

.. so I took a chance and bought it. it is a lovely shade; nice, easy flow; none of my pens have clogged or dried out this far, so it has the right amount of solvent in it. Good stuff. I am not surprised – the Japanese take their fountain pens, very seriously.On a completely irrelevant note – the packaging is beautiful. The Japanese seem to do packaging better than anyone else.

First things first - this is a large bottle of ink. Considering the quality of the pigments, which have no smell whatsoever, the cost is on par with many "small" bottles of calligraphy ink that I've bought by other manufacturers.It's a wet ink that takes between 30 seconds and a minute to dry, however, it flows smoother than a gel pen. It doesn't bleed much on cheap paper, either - a huge surprise.More importantly, it flows and flows. Using a Zebra Comic G nib, I can easily write a full sentence if I'm not writing with thick downstrokes.The color is absolutely beautiful and is great for both art and writing.More importantly, it is the best ink I've ever used in refillable fountain pen pistons. Incredible! Not once has it dried up in a pen. Every other ink I've used dries up within a day and I find myself fussing with my pens - even cartridges designed specifically for this person.This ink is the "cat's meow" and most people that use it will agree. The bottle's design is amazing and there's a slight point at the bottom so you can use every last drop.This is the ink you want to purchase, in my opinion.

Beautiful color, good ink. Nice bottle.

I love color but they need to be easy to see and this is good. Give it a try! Thank you
