Beautiful subtle pink
The Lu Xun shade is exactly what I was looking for. It's a very sophisticated, dusty pink that isn't too bright. Flows perfectly in my medium nib pen.

Perfect for journaling
I bought the 60ml bottle for my daily bullet journal. The color is calming and writes very smoothly without skipping. Highly recommend for pink ink lovers.

Great color, slow drying
Love the aesthetic of this ink bottle and the color is unique. Just be aware it takes a little longer to dry than standard blue-black inks, so watch out for smudging.

Excellent quality from Penbbs
Penbbs never disappoints. The packaging is secure, and the ink itself has great saturation. The 'Santorini' vibe really comes through in the soft tones.

A new favorite
This has replaced my go-to pink ink. The flow is consistent, and cleaning the pen afterwards was easy. The bottle design is also very elegant on my desk.

Lighter than expected
The ink is nice, but it appears much lighter on cheap paper. On high-quality cotton paper, it shines. Just make sure you pair it with good stationery.
Q: Does the 30ml bottle come with a dropper?
A: Yes, both the 30ml and 60ml bottles include a built-in plastic dropper under the cap to make filling your converter or eyedropper pen easier.
Q: How does the 'Lu Xun' shade compare to the 'Santorini' shade?
A: In this specific Non-Metallic Pink Collection, 'Lu Xun' and 'Santorini' refer to the same color profile inspired by the historic and scenic vibes of Hangzhou and Greece respectively. The bottle may list both names depending on the batch region.
Q: What is the shelf life of this ink once opened?
A: If stored in a cool, dark place with the cap tightly sealed, the ink should remain stable for several years. If you notice sediment or a change in smell, please discontinue use.
Q: Is this ink safe to use in a vintage fountain pen?
A: Yes, this is a standard dye-based ink that is generally safe for vintage pens, provided they are cleaned regularly. We always recommend testing in an inexpensive pen first if you are unsure about the specific vintage model.
Q: Can I mix this with other Penbbs inks?
A: While technically possible since they are both dye-based, we do not recommend mixing different colors as it can alter the chemical balance and potentially cause clogging. It is best to use them separately.
