The fountain pen inks are generally water based which can easily flow into the reservoir section in the pen. In the year 1960 plastic cartridges gained popularity, but bottled inks are still mainly used. Bottled inks are cheaper as compared to the cartridges and also provide variety in terms of colour. Fountain pen inks are not usually tightly coupled with the pens as it is with the ballpoint or gel pens. Care must be taken while selecting the right ink for a fountain pen.
Fountain pens are generally dye-based this is because the pigment particles tend to clog the narrow passages. Pigmented pens are not usually used these days. The Indian inks use shellec as a binder making this ink impossible to be used because they quickly clog the fountain pens. The important thing to be taken care of in the fountain pen inks are: it should be free of sediment, should be fairly runny and non corrosive.
The list of Fountain pen Inks:
AT Cross: They are also named the Pelikan inks. Cartridges can be owned by those who own the Cross pens and can not be used in other pens.
Aurora: This particular fountain pen ink is manufactured in Turin, Italy ever since 1919. These inks are available only in two colours; they are deemed the brightest, deepest and most intense colours ever to exist. The flow is normally generous.
Bexley: They are now called the Private Reserve inks.
Caran d’Ache
Conway Stewart
De Atramentis: He was a German ink maker and the inks made were known to have scents of fruits, flowers and other exotic fragrance. They also came with beer and wine fragrance and were supposed to be made of these substances.
