I haven’t written a lot about inks in a while. Honestly I haven’t bought many inks in the last year, I think it’s like two bottles I’ve bought and I have only tried one of them.

Partly money and partly trying to use up most of what I have before I re-stock.

Here are some of the ink brands I really like and why:

Pilot Iroshizuku

Great colors, well lubricated and you can get them both in big and small bottles. The small bottles aren’t the best designed bottles, but the big one has a groove in the bottom that makes it easy to use more or less all of the ink in them.

Mont Blanc

Their ink bottles are huge, well designed and looks different. And they have some really great colors.

Also not expensive. The last time I checked the prices were around for 60ml.

Robert Oster

I love their inks. There are so much to pick from, not expensive, but their bottles isn’t the best.

Kaweco Cartridges

I have a bunch of Kaweco Sport’s in use (all in metal; also have some plastics I don’t use that much), and because of how useless their converters are I use cartridges in all of them.

The colors are pretty good, but nothing to write home about. But I’m a sucker for their 10-packs of different colors.
