General questions on writing instruments Ink FAQ entry

Collectors report that the ink is delivered in a 35 ml round bottle and was originally developed for the Writers Edition pen "Carlo Collodi"; in the boutique it cost about €15, on the current market about €40, which converted to 100 ml corresponds to between €42 and €114 and ranks it among the expensive inks. Colour-wise it is a warm, distinctly orange-tinted brown tone reminiscent of wood (allusion to Pinocchio); on yellowish paper (e.g. Moleskine) it appears particularly appealing and shows a beautiful shading even with an M nib. The flow properties are described as very good, without problems in various fountain pens.
