Pelikan 4001 Black, and Blue-Black 62.5ml bottled inks are very good value if you buy the larger bottle size. They have enough water resistance to be safe for addressing envelopes. They run slightly dry and can be useful for controlling a very wet nib. Pelikan seem to have a very clear pricing strategy. Their bottled ink is cheap, and good quality, but the cartridges, containing the identical ink, are, I think, way too expensive in comparison. However, the price of their cartridges, compared to the price of similar quality bottled ink from other companies, would probably make the price differential more acceptable. In any event, the ink is great.
