Description Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black fountain pen ink is a deep, dark shade of black that is pigmented and water-resistant. The cardboard box contains 12 Sailor Kiwa-Guro Pigmented Black fountain pen ink cartridges, which are proprietary, and only fit Sailor fountain pens that accept cartridges. 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. Sailor fountain pen ink is made in Japan, and is very well behaved, has good flow, and is easy to rinse out of your fountain pen. Having trouble deciding between colors?
