Inspired by the colors of nature, Graf von Faber-Castell inks are carefully formulated with the highest-quality ingredients for smooth ink flow. They also resist drying out in the pen, so you can pause for thought and start writing again immediately without hard starts breaking your concentration.

In addition to most of our inks being document-proof they are as well characterized by a particular color depth. The excellent quality also shows itself in the even flow of ink and the fact that you can start writing with the fountain pen almost immediately, even after long breaks. An ink is called indelible if it is smudge-resistant, reproducible, light-fast and waterproof, cannot be erased and is resistant to many chemicals and solvents.
