Ink That Comes With Pilot 78G's Cartridge


ukini

Recommended Posts

I finished some cartridges with black ink that came together with Pilot 78G. I can see that there are small metal balls inside cartridges and that the ink was a little dense.

 

Now I fitted a rubber converter and filled the pen with Diamine ASA BLUE. Because, apparently, the new ink is thinner, the writing of the pen is different.

 

So I was wondering, is there the original Pilot ink but in a bottle? Or some other brand ink, with similar denser feel.

 

Thanks a lot.

I'm not too sure what you mean by "is there the original Pilot ink but in a bottle" - am I right to say you've missed out on typing the word "not"? As in "but not in a bottle".

 

Well the Pilot cartridges hold Pilot ink for sure (unless you refill the cartridge with something else when it's empty), and the metal ball is there to break surface tension and ensure that the ink will flow, instead of sticking to the walls of the cartridge.

 

As to the density of the ink, it has to do with the dyes in the ink. Diamine is a wet ink - so probably more liquid and less dye as compared to Pilot. (Just my two cents - I may be wrong.)

A sincere man am I
From the land where palm trees grow,
And I want before I die
My soul's verses to bestow.
 
All those moments will be lost in time.
Like tears in rain.
Time to die.

I've never come across a Pilot cartridge with an agitator in it. Are you sure the seller supplied you with Pilot ink.

I was thinking the same thing. Might not have been an actual Pilot cartridge.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
