Pelikan 4001 Bottled Ink for Fountain Pens, Brilliant Red, 30ml, 1 Each (301036)

First purchased violet, then black. The black ink came shrink wrapped, not sure if the violet was supposed to be as well. Great value for the price. Neither had leaked in the package. I love the bottles design and it fits perfectly in my storage space even inside its box. Haven't used it yet, however, I have heard great things about this brand. We both use EF nibs so this should last at least a year.

Fantastic German ink. I have tried the most regarded Pilot ink, but having used fountain pens all my live, I don't like the viscosity (lack thereof) and liquidity of Pilot ink. Pelikan ink does not leak on its own and my hands stay clean when writing or transporting my fountain pens in my pencil case. I temporarily moved away from Pelikan ink, but will now stay loyal, even if it means importing the ink from Germany.

No problems with this ink. Will definitely buy Pelican ink from now on.

Loved the flow of this ink, it runs pretty wet in my jinhao 10 and twsbi caffe bronze. I haven’t tried it in any of my Lamy’s yet.The only reason I’m giving it a 4 on 5 is bc it’s not truly a brown in my eyes. I’d categorize it more under orange. To be specific, autumn/fall yellowish orangish ochre. I showed it to a couple of my friends and none of them thought this was a brown ink. If they had named this something more appropriate, I’d have given 5/5 so customers know exactly what they’re getting into.It doesn’t bleed on thinner non-cotton, under 100gsm paper as well. Loving the flow of this ink

Excelent ink

Love this! Use in fountain pen to write letters, journal, etc. Dries fairly quick for me. Color is just what I was looking for. No odor that I could smell. Heavy duty bottle, stores nicely

The ink is good quality and easy to use and isn’t too thick functions great doesn’t leak when the cap is on correctly

Simple low price ink. The ink flowed good from a beginner perspective and there is a lot of it for a low price the container is sealed well and the lid and glass are sturdy. It is easy to open and use with it because a good reasonably size. Good value to money.
