HIGHLY WATER RESISTANT | ARCHIVAL

Our Everlasting Fountain Pen Ink series is formulated using fountain pen safe pigments. We've built a vehicle around this unique colorant to produce an archival and highly water resistant writing ink.

Everlasting pigmented inks require extra maintenance to use effectively. Frequent pen cleaning is suggested, as with all pigmented fountain pen inks. Pigmented ink should not be permitted to dry inside a pen. The permanent nature of the pigment will stain some types of plastic, and with this we suggest Everlasting inks not be used in demonstrator pens. 

While we don't have independent testing complete for lightfastness characteristics, due to the nature of the colorant we anticipate a moderate level of lightfastness.

Every batch of Birmingham fountain pen ink is manufactured by hand in-house from a series of raw ingredients selected for quality and consistency. Each bottle is poured, capped, and labeled by hand.
