The Meiji no Iro inks are water-based dye inks, but offer a more substantial feel than most water-based dye inks you’ll find on the market. So, you can embrace the thicker ink and the fantastic consistency it offers while also loving the fact that the inks are safe for use with all your fountain pens, dip pens, brushes, etc. Expect to enjoy a smooth writing experience with your pens and dip pens, and when used with a brush, you may be surprised to discover how opaque these inks go down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
