Will this ink work in any fountain pen?

It's formulated for standard fountain pens and should work with most models. Like any bottled ink, it requires a pen with a converter or piston-fill mechanism rather than a cartridge-only design.

How long does a 50ml bottle typically last?

That depends on how much you write. For someone filling a pen once a week and writing a few pages daily, a 50ml bottle can last several months to over a year.

Is the color permanent or washable?

Most fountain pen inks are water-based and not fully permanent. This ink cleans easily from pens with water, which suggests it would also be vulnerable to moisture on the page once dry.

Does the pink color fade over time?

Fountain pen inks can fade when exposed to direct sunlight or stored in poor conditions. Keeping written pages in normal indoor lighting should help maintain the color.

Fountain pen ink in a delicate pink inspired by peach blossoms

Most fountain pen ink stays safely inside blue and black because those colors work everywhere. But if you write for yourself—journals, letters, planning—there's no reason to live with office tones. This peach blossom pink offers a break from the expected without crossing into novelty territory. The shade is soft enough to read comfortably but present enough that your writing feels different the moment you uncap the pen. It's for people who actually use their fountain pens daily and want the page to reflect something other than a memo.

Good gift when

People who write by hand regularly and want color variety
Journal keepers looking for softer ink tones
Fountain pen users who prefer distinctive yet readable shades

Skip it if Pink ink won't work for formal or professional documents that require standard business colors

The details

This fountain pen ink takes its name and hue from peach blossoms, the pink flowers that appear after winter in China and signal the start of spring. The color is soft and warm, meant to evoke the petals that blanket orchards during bloom season.

The 50ml bottle holds enough ink for months of regular writing. The color works for personal correspondence, journaling, or any writing where you want something gentler than standard blue or black. It pairs with most fountain pen nibs and flows cleanly without feathering on decent paper.

Shanghai Stationary formulates this ink to work reliably in everyday pens. It won't clog feeds or dry out between uses, and it cleans from nibs and converters with plain water. The shade stays consistent from first fill to last drop in the bottle.

The peach blossom theme connects to symbolism around renewal and fresh starts, making this a natural choice when you want writing to feel different from the routine. The color is distinct enough to stand out on the page but legible in all lighting.
