Namiki IC50 Fountain Pen Ink Cartridges, Sepia, 6-Pack (69006)

Don't let the pale tan-brown color dot in the product image fool you, this isn't "crayola" sepia-brown as some ink noobs may be expecting, but a superb rendition of true Cuttlefish Sepia ink color tone. The somewhat metallic brown with a purple-red undertone is indeed correct for sepia ink. Actually, as my wife said, it looks like dried blood. Spot on. Depending on the light and paper, this can look brown, dark copper, burgundy, or almost black. This is a great color, very smooth flowing and skip-free. It's nice in any standard nib and really comes into its own with a stub or soft nib where some subtle shading kicks in. This is my general-purpose ink, dark and classy enough for professional use but distinctive enough to catch the eye. I like to keep some on hand and in my work pens as it's impractical to bring an ink bottle to meetings and such, but a cartridge can be discreetly swapped when needed. Be aware when you rinse this it will run a dark red and any paper towels you blot your nib on will soak up a terrifying "wound-bandage red" so be sure to alert your family or they may think a terrible accident has occurred :-) There are other similar bottled Sepias out there but this is great ink, awesome color, convenient cartridges. And if you need true browns, look at some of the Pilot Iroshizuku inks, they are top of the line and there are some nice true browns available.

Written using Pilot Kakuno Fountain Pen Madoromi Color Series, Gold (Smiley Face) Fine Nib, in field notes notebook. I love the color and it writes so smoothly!

Great ink. Came on time. I wanted it to be more waterproof, but the color is good.

Love the color, works well with my pens. Will purchase again.

I honestly love this sepia color so far. I tried it in my fine nib Pilot Vanishing Point and in the Jinhao fine pt version on TN Tomoe River Paper and the cream Wanderings graph paper. It's so lovely. I had read some people thought this ink, at least from the cartridges, wasn't very lightfast and faded quickly. It's been a week and the color is holding up. I compared it with my recent experience with deAtrementes Urban Sepia. Also a pretty sepia, but I definitely noted color fading after less than a week. But with all the sepia inks, maybe a little fading is exactly what you're looking for the ink to do.

I purchased these to go in my Pilot Kakuno. I love the sepia color and I can't wait to get another fountain pen so that I can have more ink colors. Since using a fountain pen uses more ink I think these 6 packs are a good value.

It's an ink refill cartridge.

I got these because I’m in an art group on Facebook and we were doing a month long series of drawing with fountain pen and then taking a water brush to use move the ink around to paint them. Someone had the PRETTIEST color of pink I’ve ever seen. I asked her what it was and it was this sepia. Interesting that this sepia turns pink when water activated. I love it!

Llegaron muy bien, la caja esta un poquito abollada pero el producto esta bien, no batalle nada para usarlos

Compre esta tinta para mi pluma fuente Kaweco y el gran problema fue que el cartucho no le quedo, por lo tanto no es un cartucho universal, sin embargo lo que hice para resolver esto fue sacar la tinta con una jeringa y ponersela a un cartuchoal cual si le quedara mi pluma, la tinta sirvio de maravilla, el color esta muy lindo y vale mucho la pena.
