Sailor Kiwaguro, Platinum Nano Carbon, and Pelikan Fount India are the brands I know Hero makes a carbon fountain pen ink as well, but it's relatively hard to find and the jury is still out on its safety (though the fact it's made by a fountain pen company that doesn't sell technical pens, AFAIK, is a good indicator). This stuff will remove genuine, shellac-bound India ink, though for that you need to use it with an ultrasonic cleaner (pen section and a little of the "stuff" in a small container, standing in a sonic cleaner tray filled with water, gets the best use from the Rapid-O-Eze).Ĭontrary to an above post - there are a number of carbon particle inks that are fountain pen safe, at least as long as they aren't allowed to dry out in the pen and the pen gets flushed periodically (once a month is usually enough). Item : 21140-2024 Description: Fountain Pen India Ink Color: Black Size: 2. The ink is great for lettering, sketching, calligraphy, and italic writing. Alcohol is also bad for some pen materials, but as you pointed out, if the pen is going down anyway, why not take a flier?įor future reference, the best, safest pen cleaner is Rapid-O-Eze, sold where technical pens are sold (college bookstores, especially at universities with strong art or engineering schools, are good bets, or you can get it online). Higgins Fountain Pen India Ink Higgins Write A Review Ask Question This is a permanent, deep black India ink purposely designed for use in fountain pens. BTW, your perfume might have solved the problem because it's mostly alcohol, which would soften the binder in the Higgins ink. They're intended for use in calligraphy pens that will be flushed immediately after use, not for pens that will stand for (potentially) days or weeks between uses. Higgins Eternal inks are one of the very few inks that are labeled for fountain pens, but aren't fountain pen safe the way we usually define that term. Does that sound right? For real fountain pen ink? Something to remember anyway.Īlso says that the only problem people have reported is that if it is shipped in cold weather that it gets thicker. "Some people use this ink for tattoos" (!!!!) Suggests I could clean my pen with hot water and vinegar. I'm not suggesting that perfume is a great solution-it's just that my pen was going to be trash anyway.Īrt store lady refuses to take ink back-for health reasons. So I think I have saved my FP from the Higgins Monster.
#Higgins fountain pen ink full
Have used 2 full convertors of FP ink and it still writes as well as ever. Flushed VERY well again and refilled with Watermans Once it was flowing nicely I let it sit for a few more hours, then wrote with it till convertor was empty. Healing Gardens Grean tea to be precise.Īlmost immediately it began to write better. Got satisfaction by half filling convertor and adding 2 drops of perfume.
Right now it's the only pen I have that I really like. Pen skips less than previously but this won't do.
Pen now skips like crazy and eventually stops altogether, check FPN-Oh noooo-DO NOT USE HIGGINS! Long story short filled pen, wrote a few words and walked away for several hours. It even said so on the Bottle-Higgins Eternal Black *Fountain Pen** Ink Here was me thinkin I was so smart because I ventured to an art supply store and found some actual Fountain Pen Ink.
