Pelikan Fount India Document-Proof Black Ink, 30 ml

Pelikan Fount India – document-proof black ink for piston-fill fountain pens

Pelikan Fount India is a black, document-proof ink in a 30 ml bottle for piston-fill fountain pens and pen-and-ink drawings. According to Pelikan, it is opaque and lightfast, giving deep black writing and lines that should not fade. The ink is made in Germany.

Document-proof means you can use it for documents and drawings that are meant to last. The name "India Ink" is common, but Pelikan's Fount India is a fountain pen ink and not a drawing ink.

Using it in a fountain pen

Fount India contains carbon black as its pigment. Pelikan points out that the ink only works in a piston-fill fountain pen if it does not dry out. Use the pen regularly and flush it with cold water, especially before putting it aside for a longer period.

• Make sure the fountain pen is clean and empty before filling it for the first time
• Flush with cold water after use or during breaks
• Close the ink bottle again after filling

Fount India or drawing ink?

Fount India is intended for writing with a fountain pen and for pen-and-ink drawings with a deep black line. For ruling pens and drawing pens, Pelikan offers its own drawing ink, Scribtol, which is not suitable for fountain pens. So choose according to the tool you are working with.
