My bottle says Havana Brown.Still the best of the off-the-shelf brown inks. 50 ml/2 oz bottle, made in Paris I understand. It's reasonably dense and opaque and the colour is very good, almost a proper squid-sepia. When freshly loaded (a couple of Parkers and a WATERMAN pen) it flows quite well, better (and easier to spell) than the Sheaffer Skrip brown which is 1.69 oz (still labelled 2 oz) and made in Slovakia according to my bottle, but it tends to die if I haven't used the pen for a few days and then it needs jump-starting with a dip into coffee (unsugared, obviously) or a nib wipe with a wet tissue and sometimes it needs a purge and refill.For completeness, Magic Color brown, a graphics ink,clogs alarmingly but is the densest of the bunch. I think it's acrylic based and a bit risky in fountain pens.Windsor and Newton brown ink - great with a dip pen and gives really sharp lines but it's shellac based and will kill a fountain pen dead unless it's purged _immediately_ with water then alcohol.Dr Martins browns, loads of colours, is essentially pigmentless dye based super concentrate and will never clog a pen so that may be useful to some but it's very transparent and vivid and some shades fade when exposed to light. A bit specialised.NO ink is ever going to compare to freshly-rubbed lampblack and acacia traditional calligraphers' ink for flow, opacity or sharpness. All fountain pen inks are poor substitutes - but offer convenience and colours. Unless you're into Zen and extreme archival permanency, forget it. It's a great example of what ink CAN be, though if no compromises are necessary.Waterman's brown? Once it's flowing, the writing is deliciously rich.For me, the rule is simple - Waterman for brown, Pelikan (where 30 ml = 1 fl.oz, made in Germany) for black. Parker - 57 mm, France - for cleaning your nib or filling the kids' pens..To be fair, they're all pretty good.IAII, when I was at primary school we still had inkwells and were not allowed to use fountain pens, only dip 'n' blot long point steel nibs. The ink supplied was Lion Brand, in (I think) a yellow and blue 1 gallon can. It stunk strangely and was an insipid royal blue colour and was so unwaterproof that it smudged from sweat drips or damp weather or the dog salivating on it while you tried to get homework eaten instead of handing in unfinished drivel. If it got properly wet it would disappear completely.I digress. It's what I do.Waterman brown - I'd give it five if it didn't dry out between uses.The next brown I buy will be Waterman.

Since my fascination with fountain pens began a couple of years ago, I have tried quite a number of inks of differing brands and colours, in an attempt to find the ideal inks for home and work. I have a fondness for turquoise inks in particular, as they are far enough removed from the usual suspects to give your writing some individuality, while still being formal enough for office use.The only other colour that meets the same criteria (although in a different way) is the blue/black combination, including this one from Waterman, which I tend to use more in the office than I do at home. Blue/black is probably not a mix many people would consider buying,as it seems to be the poor relation of both black and blue; lacking the formality of the former and the versatility of the latter. That's a shame, as (rather than missing the preferable traits of those two) it seems to me to be the kind of colour that has the best attributes of both.This ink, as with all the other Waterman colours I have tried, dries quickly and changes as it does so; the colour you see on the page when you first write a line isn't the colour you'll see when the ink has properly dried. In my pens, the almost straight blue/black mix changes to a much more pronounced blue one, with a green tinge that's particularly noticeable at the edges of letters. This tingeing isn't always apparent, and you may never notice it until someone (like me, sorry) points it out, but once they have done, it does become quite obvious.If you want a new ink that's removed from both blue and black, but you aren't quite ready to go the whole hog and switch to a brighter colour, try this one as a compromise. It may not move you in the same way that a totally different colour ink might, but that's not to say that it won't appeal on a different level. Personally, I'd prefer it if this ink didn't dry to blue and didn't have its green tinge as to me a blue/black ink should be exactly that, but a straight 50/50 mix with no visible tint is quite hard to find.

Having used several Waterman bottled inks over many years, I was delighted to find that the Harmonious Green continues in the tradition of manufacturing excellence I have come to expect.It is easy to become swayed by the plethora of 'trendy' inks presently available, but Waterman continues quietly to do the business in it's steadfast way. No clogging, no bleeding, loads of character and shading. It exudes quality, and always draws me back when I've been tempted, and usually disappointed by the latest fashion.Best of all, though, is the fact that the use of green ink, in less enlightened times, was generally associated with a touch of insanity - it's worth using for that reason alone!10/Aug/2016.Stop press!I've just received a bottle of Waterman black ink, which I ordered for use in my Cross Townsend fountain pen.Having paid the best part of £200 for the pen some time ago, I naturally thought that Cross ink would be the most suitable ink to put through it. I was wrong.If I picked up the pen to use it after a few days of not being written with, it would never write without me forcing ink into the nib by twisting the converter plunger. This was so annoying, especially given the cost of the pen.Once again, Waterman ink has come up trumps. After loading it into the Townsend I picked the pen up after a week of inactivity, and it wrote properly straight away.The other thing I noticed was that the ink line from the medium nib was subtly different from the line I got with the Cross ink, being almost like I would expect from a fine nib, but it looks good on Rhodia paper.Once again, Waterman ink has belied it's modest price, and come to the rescue.Ordered as usual from K Direct

Initially I was a little hesitant to buy this ink as another reviewer said the colour was a dirty blue. I'm so glad I took the plunge though!The Tender Purple ink is indeed purple and not even an indigo tinged one, it is a royal purple colour reminiscent of a polished amethyst. It also has a a good shading quality so that is ideal for italic nibs or any kind of decorative calligraphy. The ink is also beautifully fluid through the pen nib. Originally my fountain pen had always been a a little reluctant to start writing when first uncapped, now since filling the converter with Waterman ink it writes every time it is put to paper. No more dipping the pen nib in water to get the ink to flow!It is also a versatile ink,you can draw with it using both pen and brush and it would adapt well to being used for illustration use.I thought the price very affordable (it is currently part of the Amazon Add-On range) and the colour really is beautiful. The shape of the bottle is a genius stroke as it can be tipped and stood on its facet to allow easier access to the ink when the bottle is getting depleted. It comes boxed, and I have to agree the colour on the box does not match the ink itself, but is a good match to the label colour. However the richness of the ink colur can be seen when the bottle is held to the light.At well under £5 you can't go wrong, there are a few other colours to choose from but the range is quite limited, however it is ideal for someone just stating out with their first fountain pen though!Many thanks for reading!

I recently moved up in the world and got myself a very nice Pelikan fountain pen, a piston-filling instrument of great beauty and the first fountain pen that didn't cost me less than £10. To mark this auspicious occasion, I filled said pen with Waterman's South Sea Blue ink, a green ink with a hint of blue that some might call turquoise but that (as its name implies) I would call sea green.The sample scans of this ink I found on the internet don't really do the colour justice, not the colour produced by my Pelikan anyway. Depending on how long the pen has been rested before use, sometimes this ink comes out looking dark green and sometimes it comes out quite a bit lighter; the trick seems tobe to run out a few lines on scrap paper before starting your writing proper.The colour also varies depending on the weight and colour of the writing paper; I prefer heavier paper as my pen has a broad nib and seep-through can sometimes be an issue, while the green tends to be accentuated on off-white paper.Waterman has a reputation for producing very smooth flowing ink that is thicker than some other mainstream inks but which dries quickly. This seems to be the case here, although of course a broad nib will lay down a line that takes longer to dry than a medium or small nib. The squared shape of the bottle also means that it can be leant on its side when it's nearly finished so that the last drops of ink can be sucked up. That's perhaps not the most important thing to consider when choosing an ink, but it's still nice to have.

As a writer, I use Blue Black predominantly for all my business commication, and I have a large collection of different B/B's, but for everyday 'at my desk writing' I have a real fondness for wild coloured inks, that really light up the pages of a journal or notebook.And purple is probably my favourite colour for that.Waterman Tender Purple is a classic.It comes packaged in Watermans signature faceted ink bottle, that allows you to tilt the bottle on a writing surface safely, allowing you fill your pen once the bottle is less than half full.It's a well behaved ink that has never clogged one of my pens, and I've never experienced nib creep with it. It shades very well through a medium nib (I don't use broad nibs so can't comment on that),and even shows up nicely through my fine nibs... Bleedthrough onto the reverse side of the page is virtually non existent, as is feathering on cheap paper, it's a real old fashioned workhorse of an ink.There may be other slightly more vibrant purples (see my other reviews), but this ink is 'bombproof' and, unlike other more expensive inks, dries the same colour as it goes onto the page.It's purple colour will change from pen to pen, and nib to nib, but it will always be pleasing to the eye.Pens used? Nemosine Singularity f nib, Picasso 146 m nib, Senator f nib and a Pilot Traveller f nib.Paper: Nu elite 120gsm cream.Hope this helped.

I own two Parker pens, one from my school days and a new Parker IM Premium. Having stopped using my old school pen many years ago because I found the proprietary ink cartridges too expensive to keep pace with my Uni lecture note taking, I decided to invest in a cartridge converter and bottled ink.I researched inks before buying and found that Waterman had a good reputation for their smoothly running inks. I bought the Intense Black because I wanted something that would last the course and Waterman's black ink was said to be high on the scale of depth of colour.What can I say? I fell in love as soon as I used it! It is a good strong black ink but with some subtle shading visible.It also has the added bonus of the oddly shaped bottle which isn't just a design statement. Waterman have cleverly thought about the time when your ink level starts to run low and drawing into the pen becomes difficult. The idea is that you can tilt the bottle onto its side so that the ink is easier to reach.I have fallen in love with fountain pen use all over again and am delighted that I found Waterman ink. Perhaps I'll have to try some of the other colours that Waterman have to offer but for now I'm intensely happy with my little bottle of Intense Black.

This ink is renowned for good colour and good behaviour in fountain pens. Good behaviour? Means it works well in a wide variety of pens and nibs. It means it does not tend to dry in the pen and the ink flow is good. The drying time is reasonable and it is not prone to feathering on many cheaper papers.The colour is good. However with a dryer nib I find it a little boring, "school blue". With wetter nibs it takes on a rich deeper Royal Blue tone. It has delightful shading too. Shading is where a letter in a word is darker in some places and a little lighter in others. Shading brings the writing alive and is usually sought after.This is the ink that many pen shops who know their stuff will point you toward if you don't know what you want or if your pen is struggling with some inks.It is renowned in the pen world.My only caveat is that there are other more sophisticated colours out there for say office work and more beautiful colours for personal writing.If your pen is a dry writer you would want to adjust your nib to get the best colour from this ink. See Youtube for how - It's easy.

After buying what I felt to be quite a small bottle of Visconti Blue for the price as my first bottle of ink (especially considering the Visconti bottle is plastic and not glass like the Waterman), I thought I would buy a cheaper blue that I could use as more of a throw away ink when testing new pens or doing maintenance. I scouted a few reviews and Waterman SB as it's now called looked to be the best choice. I inked up a pen to test it out as soon as the bottle arrived and within 2 letters worth of writing my intended use for the ink changed, I now have it in at least one of my pens. It has excellent shading, a deep blue colour, and although it's a slightly different hue and at a stretch,slightly less 'rich' than the Visconti Blue depending on how wet the pen is, I would say they're very comparable inks.Having used them both, I can easily say that Waterman SB is a fantastic ink that behaves well on everything from cheap to more expensive papers, and is also great value for money. Perfect choice for students. Definitely an ink worth having in your collection!

Several reviews have mentioned damaged/leaking/non-EU packaging/stock. The contents of my delivery were a sealed French bottle and the correct 2oz/50+cc. However, the box itself had clearly been subjected to previous spillages (photos attached). This is slovenly customer service. Whether Waterman/Amazon know/care...As for the ink - endless reviews will tell you that 'Intense Black' is not intense black. You buy it knowing that. I bought it knowing that, because it would give me the blackest of greys... Bear in mind the price.For all that, it's black at a glance, has fairly reasonable drying time (gauchers note!), flows nicely in a Parker Slimline/Frontier/51, cheapo Preppys, and TWSBI Gos.Full sheet of A4 on the Slimline with a single dip. Enough for me.My results were obtained on old MOD notepads, WH Smith Tinc Kronk A5 notepads, and a Rhodia (Clairefontaine paper) A5 journal. Bleeding on all - nil. Feathering - nil. Pleased with it.If you're not an ink connoisseur (I'm not) go for it. Oh, medium nibs all round!

I owned Waterman Intense Black before I bought Inspired Blue (now I also bought the Absolute Brown). I decided to add some colours to my pen, and Inspired Blue seemed the right choice: gorgeous colour, Waterman's quality and good experience with the previous ink, which I had been using for 2 or 3 months.I quite like it on paper: it doesn't look exotic as orange or red ink, but it is not boring either: it looks really lovely and shines on paper.I also uploaded two pics to give you an overview how it writes on paper. Unfortunately I just refilled my pen with the new brown ink, so I had to take photos of some random notes from my notebooks.#1 is thick paper that absorbs ink heavily: the ink line looks quite broad (given my nib is Parker Premier's fine)#2 is thin recycled paper,which I used for taking notes at a First Aid course. The ink appear wet and the writing from the back side of the paper reveals

Waterman's usual quality of ink in a deep purple colour. Relatively free-flowing although too viscous for dry-writing pens. It would be a good match for Waterman's own range and most other premium brands (probably not Sheaffers') or any other that write 'wet'.The purple tone of this ink makes a difference from the usual blues or blacks and offers some insight into personal character or mood. It is popular with pen users of all genders and ages.The dye is quite intense and not fully washable. On skin, it may leave a residual stain that remains even after a couple of days, even with mild scrubbing, and it may permanently stain clothing.Other colours from the range that are either unique to the brand or never previously purchased (e.g.Intense Black although other brands and tones of black had been previously used) have since been added to a collection of inks.

Waterman market this ink as tender purple. I am not sure that I would agree with tender, since I find purple a bold colour. Nevertheless I do like it. I purchased it to replace my Parker royal blue ink, which I found faded after a couple of months. I have been using Waterman tender purple ink for around three years and I have seen no signs of fading, so longevity seems to be a quality. This was an important consideration since I use it for writing nature diaries and therefore require it to last a long time. There is something special about writing with a fountain pen in the computer information age; perhaps because it has a long historical connection with the feather quill pen. Whatever your view,colour is a personal choice but this ink is certainly vibrant and different! Certainly worth trying if you are unsure.

I purchased this because I was bored with the standard blue and black. I have a couple of pens that use converters (and a few dip pens and quills) so bottled ink is perfect for me . I am currently using this in both a Sheaffer Prelude and a Lamy Safari (with a Parker converter) and the ink is smooth flowing, doesn't flood or blot, the colour is true and doesn't fade or bleed on the paper. It also doesn't stain my fingers for long either (and when using converters and dip pens it can lead to getting inky fingers, no matter how careful you are).The ink arrived well packaged and intact, and within the allotted time frame. I would highly recommend the seller and the product and am looking into buying different colours (as well as more of this shade when I run out)in the future :0)

What is now "Mysterious" used to be simply Waterman Blue Black. If I had to choose just one ink ... well that would be a shame, but the choice would be easy and it would be this.As blue black ink goes this is on the light side, and the colour has varied somewhat between batches over the years (my current bottle is rather greenish). It flows impeccably without being over lubricated, dries quite quickly and given the right combination of pen and paper will shade very nicely indeed. The most important thing however is that it can safely be used in vintage pens without any worries about staining. (The same is said to be the case for Waterman Florida Blue, now known as Serenité, I think).The most trustworthy ink on the market; everybody who uses fountain pens should have a bottle.
