Unknown Ink Identification And Classification?

[CyanFriskypaws]

Hello,

I have a bottle of ink and a fountain pen. What I want to know here is what this ink is; is it for fountain pens, and what type?

It is titled "the Writing Collection" with a sticker that says "Au Musée" and "Scribe's black ink." If you know anything about this, I would be very keen to know. It has worked fine for me so far, but I can't find anything about it on the internet. I have used it in my fountain pen and it appears to work fine, but I cannot be sure. The pen has a bit of ink creep around the slit, and I am not sure whether it is the pen or the ink. Finding out what the ink is would help quite a bit. If you know about this ink, then pipe up!

These are made by Authentic Models. Some of their inks are fountain pen safe.

How can I tell if this is one of their fountain pen-friendly inks?

When it is for fountain pens, that should be written clearly.

Also the name scribe's black sound more like an ink for dip pens.

I wiuld not trust this ink as fountainmpen friendly......

What are the differences in properties between an ink for dip pens and an ink for fountain pens?

Read up in the threads. The difference appears to be some fillers that end up gunking up your pen. Unless it says FP safe, I don't do it. I do have and use some of the Authentic Models inks. They are not spectacular, but they are fun.

typically inks for dip pens has a bonding agent to make them light fast and permanent on paper and these bonding agents arent really safe for FPs

some of them are as follows

gum arabic

shellac
