The 16 oz bottle is a serious commitment—I’ve filled my pen three times this month and the ink level barely looks touched. The water-resistant permanence has already saved me from a coffee spill that left the page completely legible.

One bottle will probably outlive me, and that’s exactly what I wanted for my letter-writing habit. The ink flows beautifully and dries to a solid, permanent finish that hasn’t smeared once, even on my cheap office paper.

The water-resistance is the real deal—I spilled a few drops on the page and they wiped right off without smearing a single letter. This ink holds its line beautifully on cheap paper, and the 16 oz bottle feels like it'll outlast my entire writing career.
