What fountain pen ink made of?
The actual composition of fountain pen ink really varies by color and maker. Generally, fountain pen ink is pigment-based, which gives it a quite watery and runny consistency. This is due to the fact that unlike gel or india inks, fountain pen inks are mostly liquid with dissolved chemicals which make up the dye. Fountain pen inks are made this way because they must be runny enough to flow into the nib naturally through capillary action, even against gravity while not getting clogged in the pen. Drawbacks include bleeding into the paper more, taking longer to dry, and fading more quickly.
