Been enjoying my foray into the world of flexible pointed nib DIP PENS lately. I did order one bottle of black manga/comic dip pen ink, but meanwhile I've been experimenting to see which of my 30 bottles of fountain pen ink work well with my Zebra G nib dip pen.
Interestingly, some ftn pen inks work great with my dip pen and others are way to drippy. Frankly I didn't expect any of them to work well.
Two good ones so far are my Noodler's Walnut and Diamine Silver Fox. But my Noodler's Lexington Grey is awful for dipping... go figure.
My question is- do any of you Pensters have a favorite fountain pen ink that works nicely for you with a dip pen as well? If not, what's your preferred dip pen ink? Let us know!
