FAQs

What is the meaning of 'Tsuki-Yo'?

Tsuki-Yo is the Japanese name for "Moonlit Night," reflecting the ink's deep, evocative color.

Is this ink waterproof?

Pilot Iroshizuku inks are water-resistant, but not fully waterproof.

Can I mix this ink with other inks?

It is generally not recommended to mix different ink brands or colors, as this can affect their performance.

How long will a 50ml bottle last?

The longevity of the ink bottle depends on how frequently you use your fountain pen. It should last for a significant period with regular use.

What kind of paper is best for this ink?

Use paper that is fountain pen friendly, such as paper with a smooth surface and good ink absorption.

How do I clean the ink from my clothes if there's a spill?

Blot the stain immediately with a clean cloth. Rinse the stained area with cold water. Avoid using hot water, as it can set the stain.

Troubleshooting

Ink flow is inconsistent or stops altogether.

Clean your fountain pen thoroughly. Ensure the nib is properly aligned and the ink cartridge or converter is correctly inserted.

The ink appears too light or washed out.

Make sure you are using suitable paper that is not too absorbent. Adjust your writing pressure to ensure a consistent ink flow.
