Conklin Bottled Ink (Dark Rust) for Fountain Pen - 60 ml Bottle,Bronze, 1 Count (Pack of 1)

This Conklin Dark Rust ink is a beautiful red-brown ink and quite resembles its namesake. Its behavior is incredible and makes for such a pleasant writing experience that you don’t want to stop writing. In my custom stub nib, it doesn’t get much better. The flow is a medium wet, very smooth and consistent. Even a 1.3mm stub on Rhodia 80 gsm is dry in 6 seconds. The ink is lubricated and will smooth out dry or drying piston fillers, and one of my favorite attributes, it lasts longer on the nib before drying. I can take a bit of time to think before writing without capping the pen. The saturation is high, the color is vivid. There is minimal shading and no feathering on Rhodia, Clairefontaine, or Black ‘n Red papers. I don’t use cheap paper with my fountain pens so I can’t comment on its performance with them. On Rhodia, there is considerable show-through with the stub, I’ll need to use only one side of the paper.I love the vintage appearance of the box and bottle. This is the first Conklin ink I have purchased, and now look forward to getting some more colors. I highly recommend Dark Rust.

Good ink
