Pilot Iroshizuku Bottled Fountain Pen Ink, Tsutsuji, Azalea, Dark Pink (69216)

Received it perfectly wrapped to safeguard the delicate bottle inside. The bottle is a show stopper and the ink is just brilliant. So happy!

These Inks are the Best

Just paying for the brand name. Very expensive, heavily overpriced. Of course, quality of ink and packaging is excellent.

I liked this product wonderf ul ink thanks for making this product ok I use this ink in priscription writing for patients

Para quienes gustan del color rosa, esta es una opción muy buena, ya que si juegas con esta tinta, puedes obtener diferentes tonalidades, desde el rosa claro hasta el rosa obscuro, esto se debe a la calidad de la tinta, otra de sus cualidades, es que fluye a la perfección! Debo confesar que el papel que se utilizó para las pruebas es tomoe river, es un papel especial que hace que obtengas todas las cualidades de las tintas (SHADING, SHEEN y SHIMMER). En cuanto a la calidad en relación al precio, yo pienso que si lo vale.

The Tsutsuji / Azalea (Dark Pink), along with the famous near-universally loved Kon Peki blue, were the two best stunners in the six colors in this Pilot Iroshizuku range I've bought so far. The Tsutsuji is a dark, jewel-like pink that stands out on the page. I was thinking it might be too light and without enough contrast, but while not exactly day glo, it's in the neighborhood of the "hot pink" I was hoping for for certain uses, and I'm very pleased with it in person. One thing to note about all the Pilot Iroshizuku inks is that they're lubricated, which means they help with the inner workings of fountain pens, especially valuable if you have one with a piston mechanism like on my Omas Parago in the famous Arco finish. I was very happy with most all of my previous Noodler's inks, but the only ones that are lubricated are in the Eel and Polar series, which doesn't offer the widest array of colors. The Pilot Iroshizuku series fills that void for me, and is quit similar (for instance the Pilot Yama Budo is a good equivalent to Noodler's Cactus Fruit, though that too is one of Noodler's lubricated Eel series inks, so either one. The Pilot Iroshizuku bottle is also gorgeous, like a perfume bottle, and intelligently has a thick glass base with an indentation in the bottom like an upside-down teardrop, so you can still fill your pen in this indentation even when there's only a little ink left. If you want a "hot pink" that's easily legible (even for my 60 year old eyes), this is a beauty. Of all the Iroshizuku inks I can see myself buying the Kon Peki blue and the Tsutsuji dark pink over and over, while others have more limited value for me. Noodler's turquoise inks (one is in the Eel series, the other isn't) are also real keepers, and near equivalents to the Tsutsuji Kon Peki blue. Highly recommended.

My title pretty much says it all. I use antique and vintage flex nib fountain pens and these inks are incredible. I used a MacBook Pro and my monitor displays the colors very accurately. I am an artist (oil painting) with a university degree in interior architecture and design and I am VERY particular about color, so I’m serious when I say that it is accurate to what I see on my monitor. The ink flows beautifully. When I first began using pens, I bought some $10 inks and soon after, I tried one of these ink colors and it made my pen feel like an entirely different, and superior, pen!!! I wish that Pilot Iroshizuku inks had a yellow ink so that I could mix a wider array of my own custom colors. For the care of my pens, I prefer to stay with one ink manufacture per pen, so this may lead me in another direction just so that I can mix my own ink colors. Obviously, it helps to have primary colors in order to mix a much wider variety of colors. I do mix some of their colors with good results but I really need yellow to broaden my ‘palette’. If anyone knows of another wonderful ink manufacture that includes yellow in their realm of colors (I do not like Pelikan inks), then kindly please make a comment to my review. Thank you!!!

El color de la tinta es hermoso. Perfecto para salirse de los colores aburridos de siempre. Yo la uso con una pluma fuente Lami y funciona perfecto. Me gusta que seca rápido y no se corre cuando paso la mano encima (algo casi inevitable para los que somos zurdos). El empaque y la botella son muy bonitos también. El precio tal vez es algo elevado, pero sí lo vale.

Comenzando con el empaque el producto ya pinta para ser increíble. La fuidez y la calidad de la tinta son fantásticas, y el frasco de vidrio en el que viene es muy elegante. Más que encantado con la compra.
