What is the best waterproof ink for fountain pens? People prefer fountain pens due to the reason that these writing tools are the best for stylish writing. However, many beginners don’t even know that the style heavily depends on the ink, too. This is the reason your research on the best ink should be well-thought-out.
So what is the best water-soluble ink? Here are the major things to consider:
- A good ink must flow well through the barrel and nib to provide smooth writing. Bottled products in the Ancora store have a good consistency, neither thin nor thick. This makes users sure that their writing instruments won’t leak or the inks won’t dry. But to preserve the best qualities of inks, you should maintain them properly.
- Good ink should be waterproof if you want your writing to be stylish and permanent. Water-resistant bottled inks aren’t affected by liquids, meaning you won’t lose what you wrote. Don’t neglect this feature because it’s really vital if you want to preserve the initial look of your writing or drawing. If you choose zero water-resistant inks, the most insignificant impact of water can destroy your piece of art.
- Consider the composition of inks. There are products made of different elements. Some might help you achieve your writing goals, while others might make this worse. Consider the components when choosing bottled inks. For example, some products are shimmering. If you prefer a plain writing style, it’s better to choose not shimmer inks but dye-based ones.
- One of the most common recommendations is not to neglect the paper type. Not all bottled inks suit well all types of paper. Make sure that the texture of the paper will let the ink flow smoothly over it.
