About the bundled ink
Pilot Company has not stopped at just making a great calligraphy pen. It has designed the ink to go along. The ink is packed in easy to fit cartridges. Changing of cartridge is easy and fast and does not break your work flow. The ink itself is smooth, does not dry. The nibs hold the ink when not in use. Most of the paper types do not absorb the ink. Ink is available in 12 colors and they are vibrant on paper. Be careful not to apply too much pressure on the cartridge walls as it will crack easily. Best option after swapping a cartridge is to wait for the ink to flow clean. Also make sure to chose your paper correct. Since the ink flows smooth and fast, the wrong type of paper might drain your ink faster than expected. Use higher GSM for better results.
