Iroshizuku Fountain Pen Ink

Refill your Pilot Fine Writing fountain pen with our Iroshizuku inks. The name “Iroshizuku” is a combination of the Japanese words “Iro" (coloring), expressing high standards and variation of colors, and “Shizuku" (droplet), that embodies the very image of dripping water. Each ink name derives from the expressions of beautiful Japanese natural landscapes and plants, all of which contribute to the depth of each individual hue.

Great retractable fountain, though the matte black scratches.
4 Stars
Great retractable fountain, though the matte black scratches.
Overall, I really like this pen and after committing to using quality paper, it is my every day writer. I've had mine for almost three years and am looking to purchase another one. Wear issues/scratches with the matte black barrel is the only con.Pros:-The stock nibs are excellent (I've used the extra fine and medium and have settled on the medium).-The balance and size (for my hand) is great.-The convenience of no cap makes this versatile for intermittent use (taking notes for example).-Griping around the clip does not bother me and actually serves as a tactile indication of orientation. (I'm often annoyed by the lack of this indication in most capped fountain pens as there typically is axial symmetry in the grip area, though the nib requires a particular orientation.) I concede that this is a matter of how you grip your pen and address a writing surface, so if you're unsure you should really try one.-I have not had issues with the pen drying out, nor have I had any issues with filling/cleaning.-I have not had leak nor ink on the hands issues. (I should note that the "trap door" does rub on the nib and this seems to smear some ink around the nib itself and the "door". These parts are recessed within end of the pen so any "mess" is contained and not touched with normal handling (excluding of course the nib, but you'd expect that to have ink on it right?). If you're bothered just knowing there's a "mess" in there, then you might not want this pen; but then again there's a little vile of ink sloshing around in all fountains so fountain pens might just not be your thing.)Con:-I suggest avoiding the matte black barrel option. Though I really like the low key look of the matte black, I've had wear issues. The finish appears to be very "soft" and scratches easily. (See photo.) Admittedly, the photo shows wear after three years of regular carry and use, but it is not as though I leave the pen in my pocket with my keys. Thus the -1 star and my perusing for the next most subtle color option that has a gloss finish. (I'm guessing that the gloss finish will wear better.)

Reviewed in Mexico on May 18, 2020
Realmente tenía muchos sentimientos encontrados con esta pluma. La verdad sentía que era de mal gusto, me preguntaba porque una pluma fuente estaba tratando de imitar los lapiceros cualquiera de click. Pero después de pensarlo mucho me decidí a probarla por fin, y me sorprendió demasiado.
La marca Pilot-Namiki es una empresa que tiene muchos años fabricando instrumentos de escritura y saben lo que hacen. Me encanto el color que no es sólido, es un azul metálico con un patrón muy cautivador que se asemeja bastante a la fibra de carbono, muy brillante, y el material es de un metal lacado que para manda la hace sentirse como una pluma barata. No tengo nada malo que decir de ella, todo funciona. El plumin es de oro de 14k bastante suave y flexible A la hora de escribir. La compre en un “B” japonés que se prevé más a un “M” europeo, pero en realidad es un poco más grueso de lo que te hacen suponer en los vídeos de YouTube, mucho más parecido a grueso de marcas alemanas. Es una pluma muy húmeda y con un flujo excelente que hace resaltar las propiedades de cualquier tinta (sheen, shimmer, shading, etc). El funcionamiento de click es fácil de usar y muy satisfactorio al escucharlo. Trae un cartucho de tinta azul y ya viene adentro integrado un convertidor (que es el CON-40). La capacidad del convertidor es un poco más pequeña que los convertidores internacionales pero nunca se me ha agotado en el trabajo. La marca ha fabricado una obra de arte, que en su interior cuenta con un sistema fácil de acceder y muy efectivo a la hora de trabajar, que además te brinda mucha facilidad para limpiarlo, o reemplazar sus partes a la hora de decidir probar otro tamaño de plumin. Al escribir no te afecta en nada el Clíp el cual se encuentra del lado del plumin para evitar que haya salida de tinta al colocarla en la camisa (Muy bien pensado).
Así que como leen, esta es una pluma excelente, tan buena que acaban de pedir una Pilot Custom Heritage 823, ya que con la sorpresa que me lleve usando esta pluma fuente (la cual es de hecho uno de sus modelos más asequibles y podría considerarse una pluma de entrada a los plumones de oro por ser de las más baratas), no puedo esperar a probar las caras y ver qué encuentro con una de las plumas más Icónicas de la compañía, un deleite de seguro. Así que date ese gusto amig@, y disfruta de una de las mejores obras de arte que pudo haber creado la compañía.
