What does 'non carbon' mean?
Some inks use carbon pigment particles for permanence, which can clog a fountain pen if left to dry. Hongdian's Non Carbon inks are carbon-free and dye-based, so they flow smoothly and rinse out easily, making them safe for everyday fountain pens of any brand.
A natural, grown-up green
Olive green sits between green and brown. It has a muted, natural character that looks lovely on cream paper and feels more relaxed than a bright emerald, ideal for journaling, nature notes and sketching.
Great value
At 60ml, this bottle is bigger than many 50ml inks, so it is an affordable way to keep several pens filled or to try a new colour without a big investment.
Use it for
- Daily journaling and planners
- Botanical sketches and travel notes
- A softer alternative to black or blue
