Pelikan 4001 Bottled Ink for Fountain Pens, Dark Green, 30ml, 1 Each (300056)

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.

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.

Love the ink color. This is a beautiful royal blue that is rich, did not feather on cheap copy paper, but did bleed through. Very smooth to write with and did not clog my Jinhao 20. I did not check for water resistance. Excellent value at $6 on this sale. Highly recommend if you love blue.

I bought the "brilliant brown" ink. It writes very smooth, and doesn't bleed through paper very bad at all. The bottle may look small, but there's plenty in there for months, if not many years, of fairly frequent writing. It doesn't seem to "spread out" (I can't remember the word for it) on the paper at all, either, which is a big bonus. My only major complaint is the fact that the "brown" is almost completely orange. Like, "did-they-put-the-wrong-color-ink-in-this-bottle" orange. Not even a particularly DARK orange. Good value, though, especially for the price (purchased at $8.00 in August 2026).

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.

4001 Turquoise is one of the best "Ol' Reliable" fountain pen inks out there. I recommend it for anyone who likes their writing to be bright and cheerful, because this is a very bright blue. (Shading is nice too, depending on paper.) I personally use it for editing, where it pops on the page but doesn't induce the same kind of panic that standard red might. While the color is vibrant, it cleans out of pens very easily. The longer I write with fountain pens, the more I appreciate simplicity, utility, and value, and boy does the 4001 series give you those.

I’ve so far bought about 7 inks, and this one is the most affordable I’ve purchased and also my favorite! It writes better and has a beautiful color and shading compared to my more expensive inks. Would recommend.

The ink arrived quick for my pen I’ve had zero issues with the flow and it’s very smooth and nice and dark

Utilizzando molto le stilografiche sin da bambino come tanti che amano scrivere o prendere appunti, ho sempre utilizzato stilografiche Pelikan con l'inchiostro 4001 in cartuccia. Con questo prodotto molto conveniente, è possibile ricaricare le cartucce travasando l'inchiostro in un piccolo recipiente o nelle classiche boccette da 30 ml ma ad un prezzo sicuramente molto più interessante rispetto alle cartucce è dalle stesse boccette originali Pelican. Abbastanza comodo il beccuccio, basta prestare un po' di attenzione nel travasare l'inchiostro e conservare bene la confezione in un luogo asciutto e fresco, così c'è tanto inchiostro da scrivere per una vita intera! Con le caratteristiche dell'inchiostro in cartuccia, quindi è cancellabile e di buona durata nel tempo, su quaderni e Notes conservati in luoghi asciutti o nei cassetti, Penso che possa durare decine di anni senza scolorire. Inoltre in caso di macchie su tessuti o sulle mani, è facilmente lavabile con acqua calda e sapone al contrario del classico inchiostro nero di China molto più difficile da togliere. Ha un bel colore blu scuro, è fluido e asciuga facilmente senza dover attendere molto tempo. Anche con le Stilo a caricamento rapido mediante pompetta o adattatore con cannuccia a stantuffo, l'ho trovato di buona qualità e non crea residui ai bordi o sul fondo della cartuccia. Consiglio vivamente questa versione blue Royal 4001 per esperienza diretta, mentre per gli altri colori come il nero di China ed altre varianti non ho esperienza ma ritengo che siano ugualmente di buona qualità garantita dal marchio Pelikan originale

Ottimo rapporto qualità prezzo

Un inchiostro turchese come ne ho visti pochi: meraviglioso.

Came in the pelikan box and felt new and cared for. The ink had a nice warm redish undertone that made lines more lively.

Fin färg.
