Hmm, I love using fountain pens, and have been using Iroshizuku inks for years. However, none of my pens have a bladder well (mostly screw plungers) so I think I am safe ?!?
- nextos 9y agoMost Iroshizukus tend to have high pH [1]. It might be problematic on e.g. celluloid pens depending on the particular ink color you use. It's a shame as they are superb inks. I tend to use J Herbin Lie de Thé which is close to neutral and its formula is very safe (basically water plus food-grade colorants).

- cyberferret 9y agoThanks for the heads up on J Herbin Lie de Thé - They seem around the same price point as the Iroshizukus, so I will see if the place I usually order from stock these and try them out.
