Black with a secret

Green-black inks are a favourite among writers who want something formal enough for work but more interesting than plain black. On the page, Blackish Green looks dark and serious; in daylight or in broader nibs, a forest-green tone comes through.

Low maintenance

Hongdian’s Non Carbon formula avoids carbon particles, so it flows smoothly and cleans out easily, making it a safe daily ink for any fountain pen.

Ideal for

• Office notes and meeting minutes
• Signatures with a personal touch
• Journaling when black feels too harsh

Value in every bottle

The 60ml bottle offers plenty of ink at a friendly price, ideal if you want to make this your everyday colour.
