Iron gall fountain pen ink from KWZ, handmade in Poland.
PLEASE NOTE: leaving Iron Gall ink in an unused pen for a very long period of time could cause corrosion to occur in pens with stainless steel nibs.
Iron Gall inks should be stored in a cool and dark place to protect them from the negative effects of light on their stability.
Iron Gall inks should not be diluted with water from the tap – the water is rich in various salts and contains trace amounts of the compounds used for the decontamination of water (such as ozone, chlorine, etc.), those compounds will have negative effect on stability of ink. If you want to dilute Iron Gall ink, distilled, demineralized water or boiled water should be used.

Wonderful dark purple
This is exactly what I want out of a purple iron gall ink. Great flow, beautiful shading on clairefontaine paper in a Lamy Safari EF. I only got a sample and am immediately ready t... view moreo buy a whole bottle even though I've still only used it in one pen. This is exactly the kind of ink that makes me love fountain pens. This morning I was writing in my journal, ran out of things to say but didn't want to stop. I've got a page full of complete nonsense just because I wanted to look at another page covered in this ink. view less

Great All-Around Ink
It's hard to find dark purple inks with some water resistance. This is a good one. Good color, well behaved, and a wetter flow than other iron gall inks. The iron gall content is f... view moreairly mild, which means some color will wash away with water, but what remains is clearly legible. I enjoy this ink a lot. view less

Chameleon like
I have to agree with the comments by the other reviewer Mark S.-the initial color can vary quite a bit depending on the nib and paper, ranging from a medium to very dark purple, th... view moreen drying like a typical IG ink, becoming darker and sometimes nearly black. Although it doesn’t bother me, the ink has a vanilla-like smell when the bottle is opened, but it’s no noticeable once it dries on the paper. I bought a sample and then the bottle. view less

IG Gummiberry: A KWZ favorite, and with good reason
KWZ IG Gummiberry is a deep, saturated purple with significant water resistance. With a medium nib, the ink goes down a little light for my taste, but it dries to a dark, saturated... view more purple. With a broad nib, the ink lays down pretty dark and dries as a very dark purple. Depending on the light and the paper used, the ink written with a broad nib may be hard to distinguish from black. If you enjoy dark purple ink, you will be hard-pressed to find one as dark and attractive as this one. You can home in on just the right hue with a simple choice of nib. And Iron-gall water resistance is an obvious advantage.
I've looked long and hard for a permanent, dark purple ink. This is easily the best combination I've found. view less
