Hello fellow #fountainpen friends!
Can you recommend me a mostly waterproof ink that won't clog? Yeah yeah, I know it's not a great combination.
I currently have the platinum carbon ink and have massive issues with clogging. Even switched to a super wet feeder and now the line goes from stuttering to extra wet 😅

@bleeptrack@vis.social @penfount@penfount.social These Chinese pigment inks are vibrant and reasonably waterproof (remained completely legible after a swab after 30 seconds to dry). I have had no problems with this ink in a $5 jinhao pen with a screw cap for months (I suspect you shouldn’t use it in a pen that dries out easily). They are listed on ali express under the brand names Jinchen and Tramol
