Iroshizuku kon-peki Ink Review!

[@Pauley_in_GP]

I can't tell you how much I enjoy your videos - old and new! Fun and entertaining. As a new fountain pen user, I learn something new in every one of them. Thanks.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you so much and thank you for watching this one! You are very welcome here.

[@Loufi303]

lol I have had the same experience , with an Iroshizuku magically solving all my pen troubles (hard stops, scratchy, no flow, etc). As it was another color, Momiji, one starts to - happily - suspect it is the quality of ink as such, not so much the color. Curious to see whether others will confirm with yet other colors. Enjoyed the vid :) ETA: your pronunciation of Poussière de Lune is pretty close. Love that ink, gorgeous.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much for your perspective! I really appreciate it. Now I know that there is another color that I can add and associate to this. I just bought the Bordeaux, we’ll see if that one shares the same properties. Thanks again!

[@csikomas8910]

Hello, I loved watching this today. I was looking up reviews on Kon Peki and I really got a buzz out of it. And it explained some of my pen problems so I'm going to try it. Some of my writing experiences are not in the zone I desire. You know what I mean. I want that flourish, line variation, flow, lush, great starts, etc. and I want it in all my pens BUT I want a lot of variety in my ink colours. Did you find out if all the Iroshizuku inks are like the Kon Peki?

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you so much and I am so glad you enjoyed it. All Irshizuku inks are pretty great. I don’t have them all, but I have a bunch. Yama-Budo is another favorite. Thanks so much for watching. I am posting a lot of ink content, so stay tuned.

[@SrirachaSandvvitch]

I really love Pilot Iroshizuku line-I’ve bought 7 bottles in a span of a few months. They are beautifully crafted inks that happen to also be very gentle with all pens, even vintage (so I’ve been told). I would suggest Shin-kai (a gorgeous shading blue-black with red sheen) and Tsuki-yo (a midnight blue leaning a touch teal-shades wonderfully). As for other ink brands with wet formulas, Twsbi is great. I only own 2 of their inks (Black and Blue-Black) but both are wonderful. The black is very wet with some sheen, and their blue-black is an iron gall that is water-resistant. It’s actually a softer dupe of Shin-kai, so if you like that ink but need something water-resistant, I would suggest that it. Lastly, I always suggest Diamine’s Writer’s Blood; I put it in Japanese extra fine nibs and it takes away all of the feedback.

[@HemingwayJones]

Writer’s Blood is a favorite of mine. Also Oxblood, while we are mentioning it. Thanks for the awesome suggestions!

[@AlexBazenga]

I've been using some Diamines's, like Writer's Blood, which I love, or the fantastic blue Majestic Blue, and Aurora Borealis, which looks gorgeous in a blue-green shade with a tiny red shin, and the new in my line from Diamine, Evergreen, also beautiful, but I'm looking for a more pure olive green. From Iroshizuku I've bought Tsuki-yo, which is great as it flows (but no issue with Diamine's) and the beautiful blue-teal color. I'm using the Iroshizuku in a non expensive FP, Scriveiner Fine nib, which is almost perfect, but I want to try it with an M nib, and I want to go to other colors from the Pilot ink brand, yes. Thank you (pity you, Hemingway Jones, don't show the ink in a paper)

[@JonathanCadotte]

This was my first bottle of ink. I just really liked the color and figured I should start with a blue shade. It definitely had a hand in getting me into fountain pens.

[@HemingwayJones]

It was a great choice.

[@charis_explores]

I had a chuckle! 😂 I’m slowly going back through your archive, watching this lovely content to fill my insomnia filled 3:30 am mornings. You say “no one sees these videos anyway…. I don’t even have to worry, I could say anything! Nobody is watching” I smile then I glance up at the views and the video has had over 6.2K views!!! I’m so happy for you and just adore your content.

Thanks so much! I had a bit of a persecution complex when I started out on YT because no one was watching. There were only 50 or so people that would watch, but then some videos took off and it all looks silly in retrospect! Thanks so much for watching this one! I really appreciate it.

[@texasboy5117]

I have found the inexpensive Waterman inks seem to be my "go-to" inks. They just seem to work in a lot of my pens for the basic colors. The Pilot inks do have outstanding colors which are great to fill in the pallet with unique offerings. But I only use Montblanc ink in my 149.

[@HemingwayJones]

I used MB Royal Blue in my MB 149 for 10 years! Then I went crazy and put Yama Budo in there. Now I have Kon Peki. It’s old enough now that I don’t really worry so much.I like Waterman too. I always have a bottle of their blue around. I like their pens too. All the best!

[@Caramelgreeneyes]

I’ve got a Sheaffer Taranis that only works with Waterman’s… red’s been my favorite for a couple of years but now due to the pandemic it’s hard to get here in Mexico, so I switched to MB… maybe later

[@idebk]

Yup! You're right Mr Jones. Definitely the Kon-peki is a safe & good "fix" ink. I discovered some time ago that most of the "Ero-She-zukoo" inks have these good properties, especially the blue & blue/ green coloured series. They are even safe to use in my vintage pens, apart from the Watermans & the normal Pilot Blue,Black & Blue Black. Another great video. Thank you !

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you very much. I am glad you enjoyed it. All the best.

[@HemingwayJones]

Sorry.

[@rebeccawhite2582]

I have Yama-Budo, it is lovely. I believe the whole line is lubricated, which helps ink flow.

[@HemingwayJones]

It really does!

[@optimalforager]

I have this ink too, black with brown tones. The ink name means mountain chestnut...

[@dettemeneses]

I hope I’m not too late, but I’m here 👋 I love the Iroshizuku inks too! And I’ve decided it will be the exclusive ink line that I use on my Pilot pens 🥰 The other blue hues in the Iroshizuku line are so pretty as well!

[@HemingwayJones]

You are never too late to join us! Happy to have you and I am glad that you are a fan of those wonderful inks! Welcome!

[@rharvier]

It's an amazing coincidence that I found this video today. I was having trouble with a cheap Pilot Prera. I've been having a lot of false starts and scratchiness that I didn't used to have. I checked the nib and it looked fine, I really didn't know what to do. So I cleaned it out today and decided to add Pilot Iroshizuku Syo-Ro to it. After 30 seconds it started writing like a dream. I couldn't believe it. I know it's not a Montblanc or other expensive pen I saved, but it is light an comfortable. Keep up the good work! I follow you on KZbin and TikTok.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you very much! I appreciate having you with us. I am so glad I was a help.

[@seppuku-]

That’s a really nice Burgundy marble color pen, I like it allot.

I absolutely agree with you about "kon-peki" ink. There's something magical about it. BTW, just found your channel, and I love your take on things so far. Keep doing what you're doing ... the followers will come. Take care Hem.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks very much! I appreciate the words of confidence.

[@metro2673]

This ink and a pilot e95s are what really sparked my joy for fountain pens. I haven't bought or used anything else since. Though i am looking to get a nice flex nib eventually, just waiting for one to speak to me like the e95s did.

[@EnricoOzone]

I love Kon-Peki too, I also use a grey-black one, and indeed any pen with any imperfection, one filled with one of the 2 iroshizuku, becomes magically, instantly, perfect.

[@HemingwayJones]

Awesome. The whole line is great.

[@vanessachishti1503]

I have yama budo, syo ro and tsutsuji -- excellent flow and lubrication without exception! Yama budo feels especially well lubricated to me. I enjoy using it even on thick and highly absorbent paper. Poussiere de lune is a beeeauuutifullll colour, but oh so dry! I can only use it in very wet pens on rather smooth paper. Ok, definitely getting my hands on kon peki now :)

[@HemingwayJones]

Hi Vanessa, I agree 100% and have had the identical experience. I think you will like Kon-Peki. Please let me know and stay well.

I am struggling with an EF TWSBI Eco I bought from a friend. I even flossed the nib with a brass shim but it is still a stingy frustrating jerk. It has Colorverse Green Goddess in it, but I'm going to try Waterman Serenity Blue, another magical ink. Your channel has grown so fast! Only a year ago you figured no one would watch this. I'm working my way through the backlog.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much! Good luck with that pen. If all else fails maybe a nib swap? You are right, and I forgot that for a while. I felt like a space probe sending transmissions back to Earth, hoping that someone might hear them. I never imagined it would take off like this. It has been pretty amazing. Some of my back catalogue is interesting as I was learning to edit, write, etc. It look me a bit to find my voice. Thanks so much for watching.

[@evilcritter]

@HemingwayJones I decided to try Iroshizuku ama-iro in my EF TWSBI and it fixed it right up! I'm not an EF fan, so I might sell it on, but at least I know it will work just fine with the right ink.

[@HemingwayJones]

@@evilcritter I am so glad that it works after all.

[@travycraig9523]

Sorry so late to the comments I live in Japan and I have 24 colors from this same line up and all of them write fantastic. I am by no means an expert on fountain pens but bought one and started Journaling again bc of your channel. (: you sparked something in me and I'm grateful. Anyhow since you seem to like the ability to customize your pen with different inks you might like the sample pack they sell. I got 24 different inks in 15ml bottles that allows for a great set of sampling across this line of inks. God bless thanks for the channel and hope this helps if you haven't come across the full lineup of these inks yet. Btw I'm using a scriveiner broad nib for my writing its smooth and never ever have I had it skip or dry start from the time I've had it, about 2 months now. I think this could be the only pen I ever use. Thanks again. O yea love your channel btw

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you so much for the kind comment. It really made my morning. Thank you for watching. Also, thanks for the tip on the ink samples! I appreciate it.

[@michaeldavis4969]

Is Kon-Peki the secret weapon, or Iroshizuku ink generally? I use Iroshizuku Asa-Gao, which is a slightly darker blue than Kon-Peki. It is also a very wet ink that flows well. My point is you might find an eggplant or purplish Iroshizuku ink and have the same luck with your Conway Stewart.

[@HemingwayJones]

This is something I am still discovering. Yama-Budo seems to have much the same quality. There are more to experience though. All the best!

[@keithirwin7739]

I have Iroshizuku Kon-Peki as well. Fantastic ink and color. I've heard the whole Iroshizuku line is great.

[@HemingwayJones]

That was a very good to hear. I need to go through all of them.

[@arlenet.1520]

Hi Hemingway! Your new subbie here definitely needs to buy a bottle of this magical ink I keep hearing about. Seems it will be helpful on my pen journey. Also I bought a sample of that J. Herbin ink in my first order of samples and I love it. Thank you for a great video!

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much! I love Kon-Peki, great stuff! Thanks for watching this one.

[@MitsuhaRiversong]

I like the Iroshizuku inks. In my experience I find Montblanc inks (Royal blue for example) also fixes pens that need rich flowing inks.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much! I am quite fond of those.

[@CJ3B1]

If you like the J Herbin PDL, do try 'Purple Reign' by Monteverde.. Also, Tsutsuji by Pilot Iroshizuku is another fantastic ink. Both, colour wise and lubrication. Just in case you'd like to try this; add 3 - 4 drops of water into your pen's converter or barrel before you add the inks which give you hard starts etc.. In most cases such as these, lubrication is an issue and water goes a decent distance to solve the hard starts.. Cheers.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thanks so much My Friend. All the best.

[@MrRufusjax]

I bought a bottle of the Iroshizuku fugu-syogun on a whim (it was on clearance super cheap). I love it. The color is kind of a boring gray but sometimes it fits my mood. And unlike other inks it works perfectly in all my pens. Really nice viscosity. Really nice when I have to put my signature on a pile of documents an inch thick. What it lacks with its melancholy gray it makes up for in its ease of use in every pen I own, even the difficult ones.

[@brandoncompton2814]

I’ve gone down this rabbit hole of fountain pen world for the past month, kon-peki was one the first inks I bought. I have it in my Edison Collier right now and it writes like a dream. Even the yama-budo ink is fantastic - I’ve got it in my Pilot Custom 74 right now, Pilot makes a solid pen as well. I just ordered a Custom 823 a few days ago after seeing all the hype from KZbinrs about it. Love your videos! Keep them coming!

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you very much! I appreciate the kind words. I think you will love the Pilot 823. It is extraordinary. Do let me know what you think of it when it arrives. All the best.

[@jamesmiddleton2856]

Ah, I'm going through my collection, 10 pens at a time, and seeing how close I can get them to writing to my idea of perfection. After doing the basics with tines, nibs, feeds, et al, there are several inks: writers blood, some sailor colors, and three kwz inks that serve the function that kon peki serves for you. It is so satisfying when an ink lets a pen glide on the page and gives you those mysterious colors. Ink, pens, and paper are our world. Perhaps with time, my ideal won't be as wet. Time is an issue I should probably deal with, i.e. with dry time, but that's down the road, ease of writing and reading first. Great video on an important to us topic.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you, James. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I love how this hobby raises some questions that make us reevaluate things we already have. Wish you all the best.

[@thecowfy]

Thanks for that rapid reply. I'm an artist,& I'll use a wash on ink work at times. I've been using Noodlers bulletproof black. It's 'almost' good enough, but I have to be careful. There is at times what I believe is a certain amount of what's called feathering when I apply watercolor to heavy. I'm going on 'heart of darkness' next. Always looking for less restriction.

[@HemingwayJones]

Makes sense. If I hear of any others, I will pass it along. All the best.

[@alexandrelins8808]

Hi! I’m new in the fountain pen world and I’d like to know if there is any problem using those ink in Lamy 2000 and Safari pens? Inks in general can be used in any pen?

[@HemingwayJones]

Hello and Welcome! You are embarking on an amazing adventure. I am happy for you. So, this ink is safe for all fountain pens. Not all inks are. Dip pen inks, India Inks are not. Just make sure an ink is made for fountain pens. To use it in a Lamy Safari you need a Z28 converter; very easy to find. The 2000 will suck it right up. Stop by again with any questions. Cheers!

[@HemingwayJones]

Sac Killer is an awesome phrase. I had issue with Private Reserve too. Generally, Quink and other old formulas seem to be safest. Another reason to prefer piston fills. I also pay attention to Ph in ink and try to keep it near water. Take care and all the best.

Hi Hemingway, I'm a new subscriber, and I am loving your channel! I will try to help you with your French pronunciation from time to time. Since this one could get you in hot water, I will help. LOL! Poussiere de Lune means Moon Dust. Lune is the French word for Moon. Poussiere is the French word for Dust. The literal translation from French to English is of course, Dust of Moon. I have my own strange way of helping people with their French pronunciation that at least helps most get close enough... So... Pouss as in Pa(poose), Y'air like you were going to say Yes, but instead you put the "Y" at the beginning of the word "Air". The "E" in the word "de" in French sounds like a a very subtly finessed combination of saying "oo" and "uh" at the same time. You will just have to practice tha sound. As for "Lune" which in this case is not a bird, but can be pronounced good enough when pronounced like the name of the bird as "Loon". Thus: Poose Y'air de Loon. Voila Monsieur! Bon soir mon ami, Lisa

Thanks so much for following along! I appreciate it. Thanks for the kind advice. All the best and Happy New Year.

[@optimalforager]

Late to the comments, but kon-peki (which means perfect) is the colour, iroshiziku (which means colour drop) is the range and it is made by pilot. But yeah, I use it with many of my pens (lamy 2000 and diplomat aero are favorite pens) and it is my favorite ink and has my favorite colours. Sumptuous is the word I would use to describe these inks and nothing anyone can say will make me change from this brand now...

Welcome and thanks for the great addition. Happy to have you here.

[@jess53nz]

Glad i found your newer videos first, i like their styke more. This one seems more hyperactive, more cuts etc. Maybe thats the tiktok way, i dont have it. I started with iroshizuku inks but moved to diamine after finding an old inkvent calendar, now they are my fav brand. I like broad and sometimes the iroshizuku can be a but much, especially on not so great paper. I've found colours i enjoy way more in diamine too! And you just cant beat the price!

[@HemingwayJones]

I think that you’re spot on with that. I had a lighter tone when I first started doing them and a quicker pace. I was so used to doing 20 second videos that I didn’t know what to do with the longer format. I am also a big fan of Diamine.

The "ou" is like u, but the german "u" not the english "ju". Just an "u". Then the "è", with the accent to the back, is pronounced like a double "e", a bit elongated. I apologize for the English on my site ;o) Ah sorry, the single "u" in french ist speaking like an "ü" which you don't have in English, or do you?

I’m watching. 😂

[@HemingwayJones]

Hi Theresa! Thanks so much! I am so glad that you watched this! I need to revisit my early videos! Thank you.

[@TheresaRobertsonLROL]

@@HemingwayJones I've been sick for the last couple days so I think I've watched all your videos now. Keep them coming.

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you! I appreciate it. You have seen the whole evolution from my earlier stuff. Thanks!

Poussière de Lune = POO - see - HEIR DE LUNE (Moon dust)

[@himanshukhuntia4293]

You tend to drift away from the topic all the times or just this vedio ? Anyways .. good review 👍

[@HemingwayJones]

Thank you! That was an earlier effort. I make some good points and say what I wanted to say, but I do cringe a little when I look back, Check out one of my more recent videos. There is an evolution for certain. Thanks!

[@williamforester9848]

I watch your channel and feel we have a number of similar interests. In that light, I know you will enjoy the Wikipedia treatment of Iron Gall Ink used for over 1000 years and by our Founding Fathers. Take a look. Bill

[@HemingwayJones]

That sounds wonderful. I will seek it out.

[@fossilimprint2954]

No one is watching,... 3,534 views as I type this comment. ;-)

[@HemingwayJones]

Haha! Thanks for reminding me of this! It is adding up. In those days, only 200 or so saw any one video. It was liberating though too. All the best.

[@nmfixed]

Fork it, you got excoriate right, I think let the rest go

[@nmfixed]

Also, how is Watuhrman not your favourite ink brand? Serenity Blue for you!

[@HemingwayJones]

There is that. Thanks!

[@HemingwayJones]

I’m a big fan of Waterman. J Herbin Sapphire gets my top spot though. All the best.

[@MrGyges]

Ink ? My life ? Er, wow

[@HemingwayJones]

I don’t understand your question. Can you restate it?

[@MrGyges]

@@HemingwayJonesSorry, I was being a touch arch. The Herbin inks are shimmering inks and best used in TWSBIs and the like. You did well to employ the kon peki Waterman inks are clean & easy to clear out of grumpy pens. Again, apologies for the obscure intro

[@HemingwayJones]

@@MrGyges Thanks. No worries. It’s interesting how different inks react with different pens. All the best.

He might want to do some research before making a damned fool out of himself on the internets. Or maybe not...

[@HemingwayJones]

I stand by everything in this. I think the fool here is obvious. Go start your own channel. How is this for a name, "The Gate-Keeper Troll?" I think you could get some mileage out of that.
