Review: Beautiful, Good Quality Ink - Beautiful green ink, not as dark as Id been hoping but I've come to like the distinctness of the green. It's extremely smooth, no bleed or jamming or leaking. Great price for the quality of product you get and the size is much better than many other brands. Ive also noticed the ink rarely smudges as it dries quickly. All of the papers Ive tried it has dried quickly. I'll definitely be buying more from Pelikan.
Review: The best ink for vintage pens. (sorry Quink) - The decision of Sheaffer to discontinue the Skrip line left me scrambling to find replacements. I use all kinds of black inks in my pens, from Kaweco, Pilot, Sailor (I quite love Gentle Black), Platinum (carbon black is another favorite), Monteverde . et al.. But Sheaffer had a very special place on my shelf. It was THE black ink that i used in any pen, regardless of vintage or how long i was planning on leaving it in there. I knew it would flow easily, wash out easily and give me a dark black line. I've used it since i was a boy in old Sheaffer pens, from the mid90s flat top range (which were the first such pens i used), to Parkers, Vintage pens of all kinds. I've just never had trouble with this ink. I never was easily able to find a replacement. Parker Quink Black is a very easy ink to clean but is not terribly dark, even as it is very wet. Herbin Perle is gorgeous but i find it tends to dry out very quickly and it is so saturated, i try to use it very quickly in vintage pens. Pelikan, i initially bought to use in pens that have noticeable nib creep, but it is such a phenomenal ink, I've just switched bit by bit, to using it in everything. It isn't as dry an ink as i assumed it would be; nevertheless, in pens with very light flow, i find this ink actually shades up a bit. It's super dark, matte-black normally. It writes smoothly in every pen i've tried. Funnily, Pelikan Blue-Black has taken Skrip Blue-Black's place on my shelf as well. It's every bit as good (if not better). I should mention waterfastness, or "bulletproofness" is not something i typically look for in an ink. I don't care in the slightest for such properties - I actively seek inks that don't have these properties - i just use these inks as daily writers, and so weigh my opinions accordingly. For anyone with a vintage pen collection trying to avoid more alkaline Japanese inks and looking for a nice dark black which won't dry out in a sac or aerometric convertor, this is really the first (and maybe only) ink you should need.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Stunning, Classic Green
*by N***E on February 24, 2026*

This is such a beautiful shade of green. It’s rich, balanced, and elegant without being too bright or too dark. It has that classic, timeless feel that Pelikan inks are known for, and it looks fantastic on the page. The flow is smooth and consistent, with great line definition. It behaves exactly the way you want a dependable bottled ink to behave—no fuss, no clogging, just clean, even writing. You can tell this formula has stood the test of time. I originally planned to ink this up in my LeBoeuf Frankenstein fountain pen, but after seeing how gorgeous the color is, I decided to save that pen for a Mary Shelley-themed ink and give this green its own dedicated pen. It deserves to shine. If you’re looking for a reliable, classic dark green with excellent performance, this one is a must-have for any fountain pen collection.
