Recommended Ink For Stylographic Eyedropper?

[majolo]

What sort of ink would be good for a hard rubber eyedropper stylographic pen, in terms of flow and cleaning? Also, any general tips on using and caring for a stylographic pen?

It appears not many members use them, as there is no answer so far.

I wouldn't know myself.

 

Do you have a specific pen? Or thinking about one?

@[member='RMN'] and @[member='majolo'], I've used India Ink and Regular fountain pen ink, but in modern Isograph and not in an hard rubber/ebonite. I have read online about people using Iron Gall too. Here is what I did with Rotring Isograph: https://www.instagram.com/p/BLtX-6GBOMP/

Sorry for my delay getting back to this. The pen is a red hard rubber Paramount Gravity Stylo. I've had it a few weeks, filled it with Diamine Salamander. I try to at least doodle with it each day to keep it flowing--it starts a bit reluctantly and flows a little thin for a bit as you can see below (sorry for the awful color balance).

 

Other than that it seems to work fine, but for a few reasons (eyedropper, friction fit cap, supposed to keep it nib up), I'm not really comfortable carrying it around. But it's a nice interesting writing/drawing instrument nonetheless.
