For everyday writing at work or school, a well-behaved ink like Pilot Iroshizuku or Waterman gives you smooth flow, quick drying, and clean lines. For journaling and personal writing, Diamine’s range of over 100 colours, including shimmers and sheening inks, lets you express yourself on every page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIf you’re new to fountain pen inks, start with a classic: Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-peki (a stunning cerulean blue), Diamine Oxford Blue (a dependable deep blue), or Waterman Serenity Blue (one of the best-behaved inks on any paper). These are the inks we recommend most often at our Brampton store because they work beautifully in virtually any fountain pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eTypes of Fountain Pen Ink\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eNot all fountain pen inks are created equal. Here’s a quick guide to help you choose:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1. Dye-based inks: \u003c\/b\u003eThe most common type. Easy to clean, available in virtually every colour, and safe for all fountain pens. Brands like Diamine, Pilot Iroshizuku, and Sailor Jentle fall into this category.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e2. Iron gall inks: \u003c\/b\u003eMore water-resistant than standard dye inks and darken over time on paper. Brands like Platinum and KWZ offer iron gall formulas. These require slightly more pen maintenance, flush your pen every few weeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e3. Pigmented inks: \u003c\/b\u003eFully waterproof and archival. Sailor’s Kiwaguro (black) and Souboku (blue-black) are popular choices. Use only in pens designed for pigmented ink, and clean regularly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e4. Shimmer inks: \u003c\/b\u003eContain fine glitter particles that add sparkle to your writing. Diamine’s Shimmertastic range and J. Herbin’s 1670 Anniversary inks are favourites. Best used in pens with medium or broad nibs to prevent clogging.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003ePopular Fountain Pen Ink Brands at Blesket\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e1.\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/blesket.com\/collections\/diamine-inks\"\u003e Diamine:\u003c\/a\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eMade in England since 1864, Diamine offers over 100 colours at an unbeatable price point.
