FAQs
Can this ink be used in any fountain pen?
This ink is designed for fountain pens that use a converter or have a piston-filling mechanism. It is not suitable for disposable cartridge pens unless the cartridge can be refilled, or for rollerball/gel pens.
Is the Bermuda Blue ink erasable?
No, the Schneider Pastel Ink in Bermuda Blue is a non-erasable formula, making it ideal for permanent artistic applications.
How do I refill my fountain pen with this ink?
You will need to use an ink converter or a piston-filling fountain pen. Dip the pen's nib into the ink, operate the converter or piston mechanism to draw ink into the pen.
What is the best way to store the ink?
Keep the ink jar tightly sealed and store it upright in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Can I mix this ink with other ink colors?
While mixing inks is possible, it is generally not recommended with different brands or types of ink, as it can lead to unpredictable results or damage to your pen. It's best to use this ink as intended or mix with other Schneider pastel inks.
What are the dimensions of the ink jar?
The ink comes in a 15 ml glass jar. Specific dimensions of the jar are not provided but are typical for a small ink bottle.
What other colors are available in this pastel line?
Schneider offers a variety of pastel shades, including Lemon Cake (Yellow), Lilac (Purple), Apricot (Orange), and Cognac (Brown), among others.
Troubleshooting
Ink flow is inconsistent or skipping.
Ensure the pen nib and feed are clean and free of obstructions. Check that the ink converter is properly seated and filled. Try gently priming the feed by touching the nib to a damp paper towel.
Ink appears too light or not vibrant.
Verify that the pen is drawing ink correctly. Ensure the ink in the jar is well-mixed. The ink may appear lighter on certain paper types; try a different paper if issues persist.
Pen will not draw ink.
Check for any air bubbles trapped in the converter or ink chamber. Ensure the nib is fully submerged in the ink during filling. Clean the pen and converter assembly if they appear blocked.
Ink is drying too quickly in the pen.
This ink is formulated for artistic use and may dry faster than standard inks. Ensure the pen cap is securely fastened when not in use. For extended writing sessions, consider using a pen with a tighter seal or faster ink delivery.
