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

Nice and clean bule

Good quality ink. The bottle is quite lovely. It’s a keeper if the bottle ever becomes empty. The blue ink writes well, although as far as a blue goes, it’s a bit bright almost to the point of green. I’d have to say Montblanc royal blue is still the absolute best blue you can get. Not sure how much of this blue I’ll use, but it looks great on my desk.

I'd wanted to try something a bit more "blue" than the Shin Kai I've been using for a few years. Kon Peki is a bit lighter than I prefer, but I still love the way it doesn't disagree with my EF nibs in the way other brands have.

A very beautiful ink with wonderful presentation. I love writing with this ink because of how good it looks and how smoothly it flows. Unfortunately, it is not waterproof, so it bleeds readily upon wetting the paper. This does mean, though, that it washes out of clothes pretty well, so when my pens leak I seem to have about an hour or so to change and get stuff in the wash. Otherwise, I have found (for all stains, but this in particular) that if you keep the stain wet with water you can wash it out later, like after a plane lands.Not what I would call "washable," but it launders out most of the time, and hasn't stained any of my countertops yet, either.Additionally, the bottle is absolutely gorgeous! It reminds me of a fancy cologne or perfume. My only issue is that the cap doesn't prevent the ink from getting onto the top of the opening on the bottle, so I have to wipe it off so I can brace my hand on it to fill my pens.The bottle is very high quality and features a nice little dip at the bottom to allow one to get the last of the ink out easily. My only gripe with this bottle is that there is nowhere to rest the pen when filling without dunking half the pen in the ink, so I have to float or brace on top of the container to avoid staining my nice, elderly pens.

Ink flows well, it's super pretty and stains your hands easily and for a long time if you're not careful. I'm wearing it as a mark of honor :-)

I received this ink today, and the product was overwhelmingly beautiful. From the packaging to the final bottle of ink - I knew I was opening a quality product. The ink is a rich blue in color, and looks great on paper. Writes smoothly with my Monteverde Invincia Stealth.I got the pen as a gift last christmas. This ink was the only thing I got for my birthday this year - and all I actually wanted.Unfortunately, the bottle was a bit... slippery. When I twisted it to open it, I dropped it. While the cap was off. There was no seal under the cap. There is now a stain the shape of a football on my carpet, and I have several interesting product photos where I happened to look like I have bathed in the blue blood of my enemies. My dog got in on the fun, and ran through it - tracking little blue tracks all through the apartment. I had to trash a couple of towels, and emergency bathe my dog, but everything worked out in the end.5/5 stars for my first ever bottle of ink.Be cautious when opening, and consider containing any pets you may have to prevent them in case of disaster.Only $20 is a bargain, even though I spilled it all over my carpets causing hundreds of dollars in damage, I will buy this ink again.You can see the photos here: http://imgur.com/a/ovkXy

Hands down, Iroshizuku (from Pilot) makes my favorite fountain pen ink. I’ve tried three of their colors, and Kon Peki (cerulean blue) is by far my favorite. So much so, I’m on my third bottle of the stuff in as many years. I usually keep 2-3 pens filled with it at any given time. It’s well lubricated, so I don’t get a lot of clogging or dry out, and the intensity/saturation of the blue is simply gorgeous. Hard to go wrong with any of their colors, but you certainly can’t with this one.

I really like them, good color, i wannted something close to blueprint blue for art
