Great Price On Pilot 350 Ml Ink?

[rff000]

I just noticed Amazon ads for 350 ml bottles of Pilot ink for around $20.75 including shipping. This strikes me as a great deal for slightly under 6 cents per ml.

 

Anyway, here's the current URL for the blue-black if anyone wants it and hasn't heard about it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B001P35A74/ref=sr_1_2_olp?ie=UTF8&qid=1438042540&sr=8-2&keywords=350+ml+pilot+ink&condition=new

 

I just paid $12 for Namiki 60 ml, so I realize that I should have gotten the big size. Live and learn.

Wow. Thanks. Too good to turn down. Note that some sellers offer tracking, etc., while most don't, all for about the same price. Sellers vary a bit in ratings and volume, too.

Can someone confirm that this really is fountain pen ink? Searching for Pilot ink on Amazon also brings up Drawing ink.

Yes, read the customer reviews. It is fountain pen ink, and Pilot makes a very high quality ink. This is an amazing deal if you need ink for your fountain pens.

It seams that only the Blue-Black and Red are FP inks.

Thanks for the reply. Just wanted to be sure that's all.

Thanks for the tip. Just ordered my lifetime supply of bb.

The price is so good that I am REALLY tempted to buy some; black and maybe blue-black.

But 350 ml is like 7 standard 50ml bottles. That is a LOT of ink for a single person to use.

Even worse for 2 bottles; 2x 350ml bottles (1 black + 1 blue-black) would be like 14x 50ml bottles.

And I already have a lifetimes supply of ink in my ink stash.

 

I can see 350ml if I was supplying a classroom of students, which it was probably meant for.

However, I can buy a bottle (or two), then share it with others at the local Pen Posse/pen club.

 

I just thought of where it would pay off.

If you do pen repair work, this would be cheap ink that you can use to test your pens. YES.

I was tempted to buy the black as well but most of the reviews I saw said it was a washed out black which I do not like.

The Black and Blue-Black are permanent inks, the Blue is semi-permanent, while the Red and Green are washable.

These inks are available in 30 ml bottles and cartridges.

The Black, Blue-Black and Blue are also available in 70 ml bottles as well as the 350 ml bottles.

They are sometimes labelled Pilot Namiki.
