Dryden Designs Fountain Pen Ink Bottle Luxury Edition - Unforgiving Black - Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Compact Designed Smooth flow 50ml

lovely , it is a very black, purple based ink , it will feather a bit on absorbent paper but flows well , a great black for italics on slow absorption paper . bottle was full to the brim and has a rubber bung so ideal for travel. not sure who makes it but its identical to jinhao inks' bottles and the ink behaves identically . great stuff for work and play with a sensible price too..

shake before filling, gives a lovely rich black.More brown/red than waterman intense black so gives a nice look on cream paper.Well mannered ink that's worth looking as an alternative.

Seems to make writing smoother, stunning Blue/Black , just wish I’d found this brand sooner.Would highly recommend, I’m definitely going to give the Black a try as well. Happy writing ✍️

Coming in a lovely box and bottle, the ink is certainly well presented, while the silicon stopper is probably a useful addition to the bottle in helping to prevent any accidental spillage. It might be a little bit of a double-edged sword for some, as removal needs to be done with care to avoid splatter hazard and to prevent getting ink on hands.I am using it with a (relatively) venerable old Sheaffer Classic with a screw reservoir fitted.My first impressions are that the ink is pleasingly black to the eye, while the ink itself flows well. It is accordingly smooth to use, but it does seem to be quite a 'wet' ink compared to Parker Quink, glistening on the page for a few seconds prior to drying. My index finger also appears prone to picking up ink from the nib, more so than was the case with Quink, although I did give the nib a thorough clean in an ultrasonic cleaner prior to filling, which may account for increased fluidity.On the finger the ink does seem to show good water resistance! On paper the ink does diffuse a little in contact with water, but no more than expected (it does not claim to be waterproof), and it does keep line coherence. [See attached photo - top of T wetted by water droplet].All in all, a good ink in a luxury package.

Not much that you can say about ink - Its Black and leaves the require mark

If you have gone to the trouble of purchasing a fountain pen, you clearly take pride in your handwritten work or communications. This ink is outstanding in colour vibrance, flow, and smoothness. It doesn't clog if you leave your pen for a few days, unlike some comparable brands, nor does it lose it's colour brilliance in the pen.The bottle is a classic bespoke design, which looks lovely in my writing desk. The bottleneck is fitted with a plastic stopper, which is great, but I would suggest that you cover the neck of the bottle with a tissue or sheet of kitchen paper when you remove it as it is inclined to splatter a little bit of ink as it parts company with the glass neck of the container. Otherwise, the perfect ink. Beautiful, classic and enriches the whole fountain pen experience.

bought this ink for my new fountain pen. beautiful to write with and it's called unforgiving for a reason wait till you refill pen and get it on your fingers .lol

Dryden fountain pen ink: described as "Sky Blue" but is in fact turquoise. No doubt about this: I already have turquoise ink, and it is identical; I also asked two friends who agree with me.
