PILOTIroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink - 50 ml Bottle - Tsuki-Yo, Moonlight, Teal (japan import)

Glorious beautiful ink. Like all of the other pilot Iroshizuku inks, the color is subtle and unique. Ink is well behaved and flows well

Iroshizuku inks are somewhat wet. That means this ink is not only a nice subdued blue, but it will tell you if your pen has problems. Skipping with this ink means something else is wrong. Good flow when other inks don't mean the pen isn't well suited for that other ink (probably a dry writing pen.) Never a mistake to use one of the Iroshizuku inks.

Amazing feeling and look with Pilot Metropolitan, medium nib.

I'm another seduced by the boutique bottle. Really rather expensive at $20 a 50ml quantity.

Exactly as described, produces a wonderful dark blue ink. This has been my ink of choice for quite a while now.

Pilot Iroshizuku fountain pen inks have always be wonderful to write with, and this newest edition of Teal is no exception.

It is beautiful blue colored ink, that it looks darker than the regular ones and somewhat green if you would look at it very carefully. Great color for everyday usage.

I have not done a formal test of this ink; hence, I was unable to give feedback on water resistance. I just filled a clean pen and started writing. I never use the term “sheerness,” and I have not noticed it in use on YouTube reviews (perhaps the Fountain Pen Network?). Anyway, Pilot’s Iroshizuku inks are typically among the best premium bottled inks for fountain pens. Anytime I can acquire 50 ml of this ink for around $20, I will consider it. I realize that is often twice the price of Noodler’s inks and a few others, but I consistently find these inks wet (helping a pen that might tend to have flow issues and run dry) and show up well on good paper. I did not test this ink for sheen. But its color is just enough different that it added to my palate.
