Pigmented vs Dye-Based Ink: Which One Fits Your Writing Style?
Pigmented and dye-based fountain pen inks each bring something special: dye inks offer smooth flow and vibrant colour, while pigmented inks give durability, water resistance, and archival strength. Dye is easier to maintain, but pigment demands a little extra care. By flushing regularly, choosing a generous pen, and avoiding long idle times, you can enjoy the best of pigmented inks without trouble.
