It's a pretty cool pen, like it works and everything! That said, I've only used it for a day or two, we'll have to see what happens after I've left the cap on there for a couple weeks and if that keeps the ink from gumming it up. It could be I'm just being stingy suggesting it's too expensive, but like I say in the video, this seems like a specialized tool that appeals to a specific group of people who know what they want, and if they see this, they'll know it. I do think it'll probably work well at what it does. It just probably won't be a daily user for me, since I have other pens I like more.

Damn you Peter for fueling my absurdly expensive fountain pen addiction
the bossness Hear hear
I feel you, believe me i do....however 73$ is not expensive in the fountain pen world. Just saying. You got off lucky.
Marius Necula I think they meant that the fountain pen addiction itself is expensive :P
Bless you Peter,
For sharing
This video,lol
So much for
Not knowing
Duh dah dh
I don’t draw often.
I’ve never used a fountain pen.
I had never heard if India ink until now.
*But* I find Peter’s voice soothing, so I will let him tell me how he feels about certain fountain pens.
Stan I only watch on the toilet it helps
Stan stfu
so true the only reason i watch this is his voice

Same bro this guy is the next bob ross
i think it'd be worth the money since india ink is so much cheaper than fountain pen ink, so you get your money back over time assuming you take good care of the pen
This could be a good point
Not a Man Studios Prices vary on FP ink, but you can get 350ml of pilot black for only 30 CAD (22USD), or blue black, blue and red. Which should last you pretty much forever if you only use it with pens.
I just use my dip pens for it, the one fountain pen I have seems fiddly, maybe I should try others. but I also like a flexible nib like a G
Depends on what pen you compare it to
I'm a pajeet and since there's a lot of dye industries here, I get 60ml of pretty decent fp inks for about 20 rupees, which would be about 30 cents
Ink isnt bad or anything either it's probably at par with parker quink(which you get for about one dollarydoo for 30ml)
I think the ink provides nutrients to the artist
Not overpriced in my opinión looks that has a German nib and Converter, aluminium body and the vapour system plus the ink. Nice for urban stketching
If anyone was wondering the difference between India Ink and Fountain Pen ink,
India Ink is made of gum arabic (a binder) and pigments, whereas fountain pen ink is mostly just dye and water.
Gum arabic dries down sticky, and the pigments tend to be too large for the feed in a fountain pen, which is why it gets gummed up in the feed and nib. Dried out fountain pen ink generally will just reactive with water so it's far easier to clean.
Why is it called India Ink?
because it was used by indians and became popular in west and asia. So they used 'India' to assure the quality of the ink@@humanfirst11
The real question is, why are you wearing a hallway rug?
Its his fantasy tunic
Try to pay attention No No!
It's a poncho.
TO take yo re attention to keep looking for 4-5min straight THIS IS
Inteligent
LoL.
His tongue is covered in Ink and he just goes: hm🤷♂️
In high UV light wear
Reflective Sun glasses
I bought this pen at the beginning of the year. I didn't use it for about 3 months and the ink hasn't dried on the nib. So I think it's safe to say it works
Peter is one of those people I really want want to live a long and happy life
It's interesting that you need water to keep India Ink from drying out in the pen, and yet once it dries its better for watercoloring over. This substance must have a mind of its own.
Interesting point. Acrylic paint is the same, thins with water but doesn't reactivate with water when cured
The real question when considering this pen is: "how much of a hard-on do you get for India ink?" India ink is pretty great. It has a certain sheening quality while offering a more intense black base color when compared to the vast majority of true fountain-pen ink. It is also far more color-fast and resistant to lifting. There are a lot of good reasons to want a pen like this. It is pricey, though.
I find just shaking a rotring tends to get it going. Except the .025 - that one requires swearing and threats.
My rotrings: 2 rapidograph heads with one body and an isograph were too sensitive to swearing and broken down... Since they couldn't handle it, i've bought a Faber Castel isograph, sadly, it's 0.7, not 0.25, but at least it works no matter what and damn reliable
@@steinnbjorn7627 what kind of diameter rotting pens should I get for doodling
@@Nate-cj8ep i think 0.25 works the best, not too thin, not too thick
@@steinnbjorn7627 thank you so much
Your name fits the comment so well lmao
Your reviewing technique is quite organic, uniquely captivating. I’m going to continue watching now.
Your icon is from a game called enter the gungeon on the switch. And yes I spelled that correctly
I knew nothing about pens 6 hours ago but Now I can’t stop watching these videos and I want a fountain pen
I definitely need this pen I work in ink then watercolor over it, and dip pens don't travel well so love this concept thank you Peter for reviewing this...
I recently bought this same Indigraph pen. It took 3 weeks to get here in Arizona from the day that I ordered it. Mine looks a bit different than yours, my F nib looks more just like a regular nib and also the Indigragh logo looks different now with all lowercase cursive letters like an updated logo perhaps. So, since this video was posted a year ago they have obviously made a few changes to this pen. Mine also didn’t come with water pre-filled already in the reservoir like yours did when it spilled out. I just filled it myself. Easy peasy. I really do love drawing with this pen! This Indigraph is definitely one of my favorites and great for adding watercolor to your drawings. Definitely worth the money in my opinion. 👌🏻😊🖋💕
I love his handwriting. It's what I wished my handwriting would look like.
In the early years of the 20th Century, artists used *safety* fountain pens, because they were the only kind of fountain pens that could take India ink and drawing inks. These inks have gum arabic in them, which clogs the feed of a regular fountain pen.
A safety pen has a nib that retracts inside the barrel of the pen, and stays submerged in the ink while the pen is capped. When the flow got sluggish, the artists just retracted the nib, closed the pen, and let it rest for a couple of minutes, and the pen would write just fine again.
How effective are safety pens? 80 years after the end of WWI, a safety pen was found in the remains of a dead soldier. When the pen was uncapped, it wrote perfectly, the moment the nib and 80-year-old ink touched paper.
so we should all be using those? you havent written down any downsides and im curious
thanks again Peter. even on my worst days- watching your videos always cheer me up. you're hilarious and heartfelt. thanks for being yourself.
Peter: "Ima draw a quick test doodle" *draws a 'doodle' worth 500 dollars
I’m not trying to be rude but I wouldn’t buy that for 500$
I wouldnt buy it for $5 its just a bunch of random shit
Ron Swanson I think it’s called *hyperbole*
Ron Swanson I wouldn't cause im broke
@@ronswanson1149 best i coule do is gice him 500Ω
my favorite part of any Peter video is when he does his best human impression.
you inspire me to draw and make art everyday, one of my fav artists of all time ❤️
Noodler's Boston Safety Fountain Pen can use india ink. When capped, the nib is sealed inside the ink chamber. I have one. Works great.
And similarly pricey, I do believe. Cooler.
Would you do a long-term review of this pen? My fear was that it would dry out if forgotten for a few weeks.
Haven't been able to watch your vids in a while. So happy to hear your voice and see your face
Just bought your abstract graphic novel on amazon! So excited!! ♡♡
Joselyn Barnes I didn’t know Peter had a book! What’s it called?

He always has links under his videos in the description.
i really love how the ink looks coming out of this. Very inky (i dont really know how else to describe it) also that face you drew was very nice
First time I was like how in the hell I end up here but, your reviews are catchy and It is so satisfying to watch you draw. Now I have a crush on fountain pens thanks a lot! Proud new subscriber.
Hey Peter, stumbled on an older video of yours that I haven't watched yet. Love the drawing and drawing tools showcasing(? exploration? however one would call it), as always. It helped to boost my mood a little. Thank you for sharing.
I’m convinced this enlightened gentleman is in fact a genius.
He looks EXACTLY like my cousin "Nuts" ..who is indeed, a genius
Back to your old self! I love you man :-) I just got my first pen, a Lamy Safari. Next is on to a Pilot Metro, then probably an Al-Star, and then....
It’s almost dangerous watching Peter draw. It’s like some demon is in control of him and drawing this marvelous art
I watch you like 24/7 when I'm drawing your voice is so soothing :,)
Morally Ambiguous nah It’s a compliment don’t act 4
Geez, I need to watch more of your videos - I never knew you couldn't use India Ink in fountain pens. That was part of the draw to me - being able to buy that huge Dr. Ph. Martin's 12 color Bombay India Ink Set for a cool fountain pen. So glad I watched this, but now I have yet another pen added to my wishlist.
Peter I love your videos so much so soothing
Any fountain pen can use India ink. Some can only use it once though.
It's perfect for the person that wants to draw lines with a fountain pen instead of a rotring, because they like the nib, and then they can watercolor all over it :)
this seems true
You know, back in the day when I used Rapidograph pens it was common practice to merely wet the end of your finger and dip the point into the puddle to get the ink started. Your technique shows total commitment though.
Thanks for filling the ink without getting it on your fingers way more satisfying
You can also use India ink in the Noodler's Boston Safety fountain pen. When you close the pen, the nib retracts into the ink reservoir, which keeps it from gumming up. Way simpler and less expensive than this one.
Safety pens been arround for long time, very messy!!
thank you for being humorous and calm in your videos. Lately the only way I can fall asleep is if I watch you (no offense lol it’s just calming, I watch your vids during the day too). Just a few minutes ago I woke up from the craziest nightmare that may be the worst I’ve ever had. It felt so real and scary. Thankfully there was a loud ringing noise that woke me up. Now it’s almost 2:30AM and I’m scared to leave my bed but at least I can watch your videos to help me get my mind off of it
I enjoy you immensely. Thank you
Haven’t been on your videos for a few months, man I missed your vibes dude!
Haven’t been here in a while, hair looks much better. Art always fabulous
Nice! Can't wait for the next one :)
Peter u make my day
Best notification I’ve gotten all day
Love the portrait! ^_^
Peter can make a 5 day wait feel like years
Peter, I've watched a few reviews of this pen and was wondering if you'd get your mitts on one. As you work with black a lot it seemed a good fit. Great to see you doing so many FP reviews, incidentally. And was that a self-portrait??
Looking forward to another review in a couple weeks.
Sweet drawling man.
Hey, God bless you and all of us!
I remembered 2015. when my son was born... :) he had his first baby troubles with baby cramps and I would literally play the entire lists of "drawing in my book" and "overcoming artist blocks" until Peter's voice would do the magic and the little munchkin would fall asleep :D God it's been such a journey with this men's journey... Thank you Mr. Deligdisch for being our inspiration, sedative, fun and kinda part of family 🖤 :D
I wonder if it would work to put a small bit of wet sponge in the cap of a regular fountain pen? maybe that would keep it from drying out like how it seems to work with this pen....
I would say use filtered water over tap water or well water. If your bathtub and sinks get water stains, limescale, or discoloration, then that will happen to the pen and clog it eventually. I think it's a cool idea though.
The fact he just got it in his mouth and was chill about it
Even without the fancy india stuff its a pretty cute looking pen.
I want it... I don't have 70 bones to blow on it though man
Thomas Walkup easy, just sell 70 bones.
@@melonheadthecherrybomb5886 I need more disposable bones for sure.
ik this is late but youre the only other person ive seen refer to money as "Bones" besides me
TJ Walkup are you from canada?
It’s interesting being early cuz you know not everybody is done watching
I use dr. Ph martins carbon ink-“hicarb” in my rOtring pens, works great, and it is water proof too. You may want to shake it, instead of giving it mouth to mouth resuscitation to make the ink flow, makes for a less of an inky tongue for you, just a suggestion. Cheers!
Your voice is like therapy
I used half a bottle of India ink in my jinhao x450 and rarely had problems; but I wasn't afraid of breaking it since it's a $9 pen
My first fountain pen was a TwsbiEco and I used waterman ink to draw with but I was terrified of using the wrong kind. This pen is intriguing but a bit expensive for the average lay-person
Can’t wait for the next song!
im glad i found out that india ink is bar for fountain pens because i bought some from walmart a while ago for a stick n poke then got curious about pens and was gonna use it for the pen i ordered from aliexpress that hasnt come yet bruhhh
any update on your indigraph? was thinking of buying it XD
Hi Peter, love your videos and zany delivery! Can you use Rotring ink in a normal fountain pen? I would like to try some line and water colour wash artwork.
The ink for the Rotring pen is Indian Ink. The bottle said Encre de Chine, which is another name for Indian Ink. So no, it will clog up your fountain pen.
Peter how did you free the Lamy pens from the dried India ink? I have done the same in my hubris and sadly the pen remains nonfunctional.
Hello Peter! I really wanted a video from you today, it wasn't a good day for me...
I hope your day got better.
I agree, as near as I can tell Peter is a good man! Keep up the great work , lives are definitely improved as a result of your efforts!
If it makes a difference to anyone, i took a tiny piece of paper towel and soaked it in water, and then wadded it up and stuffed it into the cap of my lamy safari. I filled the pen w india ink, and after about 3 days i’m not having any problems.
We’ll see if it manages to hold up for longer than that, but as far as I’m concerned I’m saving myself the 50$+ LOL
Any follow-up? I imagine the paper towel would eventually dry out, and you would have to re-wet it?
It does seem steep for a pen but it will use any ink? Is that a real good thing. I use dip pens for most everything I have ever done so far, but a fountain pen that does it all is attractive too!
I’ve heard that letting your India ink reduce evaporate down then re filling the missing water with acetone, you can load up a technical or fountain pen.
Could you keep a small wet sponge in the top of the cap of your other pens... Add a bit of water after use?
Always nice drawing, and you get free stuff. Life is good
The reason to use this kind of tool is to make thin and thick lines. If a fountain pen can work with a flexible nib, it will be a perfect thing to have.
Kool whip cream
#23 so cool pen!!!
I like this
Great
Pen,
I wonder how a TWSBI Eco would hold up with India ink? An Eco’s under $40, and I’ve had one filled for over two years without any drying up, and it started writing as soon as I put it to paper even after all that time. Of course, it was filled with regular fountain pen ink.
*whoa! Def need to check this out! You should do more new product reviews of things we should try!!*
It is very impressive to use India ink in fountain pen. But my concern is that when you cap the pen, the ink will make the water in the reservoir, and if you change ink but forgot to change and clean the reservoir, would it clog the pen because some chemicals reaction between different India ink?
If I knew 2 years ago that this pen existed I would have never bought a regular fountain pen... Beeing waterproof and cheaper like the india ink is so much supperior to the regular fountain pen ink
There is one other type of pen that uses india ink fine, it's safety pens. There's only one modern pen that can use it, the noodlers boston safety. That pen also has an ebonite feed and can accept a vintage #2 flex nib.
We're talking with the maker of this pen on FPN and he's looking into a dip nib system a-la desiderata or flexible nib factory.
Is this pen still available. Is there a TH-cam video on this? Can you provide more details? Thanks.
Early squad show some love
❤️
Hmmm...ok...💕
Time is relative 2 months isn't a spec of a millennia granted the human race won't be alive that long but you get the idea... Early squaaad.. ♥️ :D
Peter=modern bob ross
My hands are scared of this video lol
A pen that won't blur with water. Yep, want one.
I have a Lamia fountain pen and have been using Indian ink in it for 2 years straight, no problems, idk?
Yeahh boi new pen!
If someone leaves a comment I find funny or interesting, sometimes I check out their channel and watch something they’ve uploaded and if it’s any good, I subscribe.
I did this a while back having read a comment on one of Dr, (self-proclaimed), Draws videos and subbed to this young lady reading kids books.
I realised a couple of weeks ago, that it’s Peter’s sister! They both have very pleasant reading voices and she is so enthusiastic it’s hard not to smile at her reviews.
Anyway, I digress. Awesome review and great drawing as always and, personally, I think it’s a very nice pen. India ink is awesome so I’d be prepared to buy one.
My dude just *ate* ink.
So... have you tried to put india ink in a cheap fountain pen and just put water on the cap to test out if it works the same way? I say a cheap one just in case it gets ruined. I have tried liquid acrylic ink diluted in water on my $1 fountain pen. It works just fine if I write with the pen everyday but if I let it be for 2 weeks it gets clogged. At least it's easy to unclog. I just unassembled all parts and submerged overnight in a solution of water and a bit of bleach. Pen doesn't seem to be damaged and it's writing as normal
So what’re the differences in regular ink and Indian ink?
Can I commission an drawing to then be used as a tattoo on myself? If so how do I get a hold of you?
I didn’t know you weren’t supposed to use India ink is it just to gluey. I’ve always used India ink with quill pens. They do gunk up but I thought that was just why we stopped using those style pens. Is India only for brush? Very curious.
Watercooled pen...pretty sweet!
What notebook are you writing in?
Nothing like reading instructions for things you are not aware of! Will save you time and money.
“That’s what it looks like when I have water in my headlights...”
You should drain the water and replace it with the appropriate headlight fluid. Any auto parts store can help you to buy the right stuff and show you how to fill it
maggs131 did you watch the video...? I was quoting peter
@@meghanmilberry3373 I know and I'm just giving a related automotive tip
I'm not going to buy it, but I am one of those people who would like one. Thanks for reviewing it ☺
