Fountain Pen Ink - 02 Raspberry Sorbet

Der Stift sowie das Zubehör ist einfach wunderbar. Ich habe viele Möglichkeiten, meine Zeichnungen unterschiedlich zu gestalten mit eine Stifte und vielen Spitzen zu verwenden.

Hello Tom's Studio Team,
I am writing to share my feedback on your #18 Marmalade ink, which I recently tested using a brand-new Clyde Pen fitted with a standard Bock #6 Medium nib. Since both the ink and the pen are new to me, here are my observations:
1. Paper Interaction & Performance
• Line Precision: The ink behaves beautifully on the page. It spreads evenly without feathering, maintaining a very sharp and crisp line.
• Bleed & Ghosting: Performance is excellent. I noticed absolutely no bleeding or ghosting on the paper.
• Dry Time: The ink dries remarkably fast. It performed exceptionally well during quick, on-the-go writing sessions while out at St. Andrews.
2. Pen-Specific Behavior & Nib Flow
• Lubrication & Flow: The ink offers a fairly smooth gliding experience through the Bock #6 Medium nib.
• Line Width Note: Interestingly, I found that this combination produces a line width very similar to my Sailor Black Luster (21k Medium nib), which was a pleasant surprise given the typical differences between European and Japanese sizing.
• Maintenance & Cleaning: The ink is incredibly easy to flush out and clean. It left no stubborn stains on the feed. (Note: I have not yet tested it for long-term crusting or clogging).
3. Visual Effects & Properties
• Color & Shading: The overall color is slightly paler than I initially expected. However, it makes up for it by showing gorgeous, subtle shading (fine variations of light and dark) within a single letter.
4. Packaging & Design
• Bottle Usability: The bottle design is simple, elegant, and highly functional. The neck and depth made it very easy to fill the Clyde Pen without any mess.
(Note: I have not yet had the opportunity to test its water resistance or lightfastness).
Overall, #18 Marmalade is a well-behaved, fast-drying ink with beautiful shading properties. Thank you for creating such a lovely product!

I received two mystery inks with my order! Yay! Neither had the ink name or number so I had to guess by comparing the ink swatches on the packaging with that on the website (an unwelcomed step). Also one came sealed and the other not; the unsealed one had considerably less ink in it. I am now a little hesitant to order these sample sizes; I had been looking forwards to ordering all possible colours that I am interested in.
I inked my new Lumos mini with the Doves Grey with a .5 nib and it still is too light and weak of an ink for my purposes. I am grateful to have it as a free mystery ink that I now know to not order. I will mix it with another so it can become useable. The second ink I received seems to be Ivy and is a lovely dusky green that I may order again later; I enjoy it, it’s lovely.
And I truly do appreciate the gift of the mystery inks, thank you.

Hi Tom's studio is the best they repaired my pen well I couldn't fill it and they filled it and sent back in a lovely gift box thank you so much ❤️

This is probably my favourite Tom’s colours! The perfect deep blue to write with, but also so pretty and dimensional to paint with 💙

I really love this ink, particularly watered down, I think it’s so pretty. It’s lovely and smooth to write with!

I love the Wren pen so much I have 3 now with different coloured inks and use them every day. The nibs and inks from Tom's studio are superior to any other I have tried, and the range of colours is incredible, but so far every one I have tried has turned out much darker than expected when used for everyday writing.
This shade, Iris, is a lovely purple but much darker than expected - rather than the vibrant 'Cadbury' purple I was hoping for, this is a much deeper shade which is a wee bit disappointing. It would be helpful if the website info showed some written lines in each ink to give a clearer idea of the what the colours will look like in day-to-day use.

This shade, Neptune, is absolutely gorgeous but comes out closer to a dark bottle green or tealish black than the more vibrant shades on the swatch shown here.

Flows well, lovely colour, and packaged so nicely

I bought this as a gift for my partner, and now I’m jealous I don’t have one. Designed to perfection, the glass refillable cartridge was the best part for me, and the ink is the cherry on top, no colour bleeds just pitch black colour. I’m so excited to get my owe and to get the full range of inks. Seriously impressive products. Oh and the packaging it comes in oooo so good and thoughtful😍

I love my pen but sadly one of the two sample bottles was broken on arrival and ink got on some of the packaging and paperwork. Noharm done, I had a supply of ink.

I received my new fountain pain very quickly and started writing with it immediately. It writes wonderfully and I’m very happy with my purchase.

The ink bottle was completely shattered and the ink leaked all over the shipment. The Wren pen enclosed was still packaged well and unharmed. I give the pen 5 Stars all day long, absolutely love it. Guess it’s not a good idea to have inked shipped from Europe to the US.

The color has a lovely, muted tone. Perfect for those who don't like bright red. Highly recommended for calligraphy.

I had bought this as a sample bottle not expecting to love it. I was SO sad when I ran out of it. When I found out it was coming back, I was like a kid waiting for Christmas to come. As soon as it was delivered, it went into the juiciest pens i have - a pocket fountain pen w/fude nib, and a Clementine lumos w/brush tip and fineliner! I love how bright & crystal clear all of your inks are!! They are so much fun to use! Thank you for making each purchase so stress free. Everything is packed to arrive safely and undamaged. But more importantly, all of your products are of the highest quality and a joy to use! Thank you!! (Id love the option of buying a Lumos Loop in Clementine to hang my sun charm! Rae is my middle name because of being called Rae of sunshine in my younger days. Xoxo)

I am in love with this ink. As with all of Tom's Studio products it is amazing. I enjoy the warm color and how smooth the ink writes with both my fountain pens and dip pens.

Espresso is a lovely brown. I have been wishing for brown ink, so I am very pleased! I like it for both writing and painting or drawing. It could be a little darker, but another layer fixes that and it is quite versatile.

Imagine this review vibrating - purring like a semi-delerious tiger. That's me and my new fave colour.

Clementine is my new favorite color ink. It is so vibrant and happy! I've used it in my new Wren (matching clementine) pen and with a dip pen. These are such top quality inks. I've bought small samplers to find my favorite colors and will be ordering more Clementine ink as I will be using it often!

Raspberry Sorbet is more blueberry than raspberry.
Definately more blue in it, it's purple rather than pink ☹️
Bluer IRL than the photo I took (new nib, new cartridge)
Gonna try mixing it with the rose colour I have.

Would recommend anything from Tom's studio!
Very professional and beautiful inks and pens,a must for any artist or writer.
Absolutely love the packaging,quality and craftsmanship of the inks and Lumos pens in particular.Highly recommended 🎨✨😘
