Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black fountain pen ink is a high quality choice for the deep rich color and its fast-drying and water resistant properties. This pigmented ink was designed for brush pens, but is safe for use in fountain pens as well. A little extra care is called for, so don't leave it in your pen for weeks on end without cleaning. The pigment particles, if left to dry, can require a little more maintenance to clean out. Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black fountain pen ink dries on the surface of the paper and is perfect for mixed-media or watercolor artists who use thicker sketch or watercolor paper, but this also works well for artists or others who use fountain pens, with a color wash over top.
The 50ml glass bottle features an internal removable ink reservoir that makes it possible to fill your pen even when the ink runs low. Cap the bottle, turn it upside down, and then turn it right-side up. The holes on the sides of the reservoir allow ink to flow into the reservoir into which a fountain pen nib can be submerged.

When I first used pigment based inks in fountain pens, I checked often for any effect on ink flow due to clogging. I have had no such problems with Sailor Nano inks. Kiwa-guro is indeed ultra black like traditional calligraphy inks, and risk free in fountain pens! For example, I use it in a Pilot Custom 912 with an FA (falcon flex) gold nib and the effect is wonderful.
I love this ink, it isn't _jet_ black but it's black enough and shades into a texture-y dark gray. Dries relatively fast. Shipping was superfast, and the ink was well packed.
