Asvine Hongdian Fountain Pen Bottled Ink Black, 60ml Fountain Pen Bottled Ink, Non Carbon

Love this ink. It flows well and has quite the intensity of colour. Great value for a 60ml bottle. I bought the Teal colour too, just as good.

Excellent ink, very clear that it’s gray and not black. Writes really well across the paper.

Excellent ink for the price, really smooth writing and a generous amount of ink in an attractive bottle. Unusually I like the metal lid. It makes an interesting change from Bakelite and sounds very satisfying to use.

The ink is good, flows well, has a strong colour which can be watered down if needed. There is a lot of ink. I’ve got the empty ink bottle out on a shelf which looks quite nice with a wash of dried ink sticking to the sides of the glass. Why the empty ink bottle so soon after delivery you may be thinking? Well, I could not open the silver metal top, no matter how I tried. In the end a jar opener in my kitchen succeeded (it did not mark nor compress the cap in any way) . Then I tried to screw the lid back on and felt/heard a scratchy grinding noise. On inspection I could see that there was a sliver of metal stuck to the screw part of the glass. I couldn’t scrape it off with my nail and the bottle was still full and concluded that some of the ink must have acted like a glue when the bottle was originally filled. So I decanted all the ink out into 3 spare ink bottles and left the original bottle with residual ink coating the inside of the bottle (impressed by that) to dry in the sun. Hence the 4 stars, nice and plentiful ink, shame about the bottle lid.

A lovely teal color that I bought alongside a Majohn A1 pen. The large bottle size at the budget price point may cause some eyebrows, but it is truly a wonderful ink. It shades just a little, from a teal color to a darker blue that catches the eye. I've had zero issues with dry time on Rhodia and Leuchtturm paper, though your mileage may vary.

Very good, I would definitely buy again

A true Green-black. Quite dark when using a fountain pen but great for everyday writing for someone who wants a professional alternative to plain black.

Very pink, similar to the colour of pink sweetpeas. I would say that the product pictures are very accurate in terms of pigmentation. I used it for drawing and colouring flowers with a paintbrush. Depending on the paper (and yes, paper is important) the ink could be layered up to intensify the depth of colour, or it could spread and soak in, appearing dull. The ink is quite watery, so I can see why it's suitable for a fountain pen even though I didn't use it with one. Also, the colour is consistent with no lumps or particles of pigment sliding around the bottom. Again, depending on the paper, the ink flows quite easily. I drew with it a few weeks ago, and the weather has been miserable, so I'm not sure how light fast the colour is. To me, it looks as vibrant as the day I drew with it. The bottle is also quite sturdy, with a wide base, so it's hard to knock over. Overall, I wanted a no-fuss pale springtime pink, and that's what I got. It wasn't too expensive either. I am one happy customer.

Goes perfectly with my Hongdian fountain pen.

Hongdian inks are just like the pens: just perfect. This here is a beautiful dark brown. I have already decided that I will buy it again. And also try the other colours

Wunderbare Tinte. Schönes Schriftbild. Mit Tintenlöscher leicht zu löschen. Sehr empfehlenswert.

Very blackish. Not really green. I have to use it more and I hope it will grow on me!

This ink is absolutely beautiful. The bluish gray color is subtle, elegant, and incredibly versatile—it works just as well for everyday writing as it does for sketching or journaling. It has quickly become my favorite ink colors. The flow is smooth and consistent with no clogging or skipping, and it dries at a reasonable speed. Because it’s non-carbon, it feels safe and easy to use in fountain pens, even with regular use. The ink shades nicely without being distracting, giving handwriting a polished, professional look. The 60ml bottle is a great value, and I will definitely be purchasing this ink again. Highly recommended for anyone looking to add a unique yet practical color to their collection.
