Pelikan 4001 Fountain Pen Ink — 62.5 ml Bottle

Pelikan 4001 is the everyday ink Pelikan has made for its own fountain pens for generations — well-behaved, quick to flow, and easy to rinse out of a piston. A piston-fill Pelikan leaves our shop dry; this is what fills it. Royal Blue is the traditional color for signing an original so it reads as an original beside a photocopy; Brilliant Black for everything else; Blue-Black for the lawyer who wants the look of an old ledger.

Fits: any piston-fill fountain pen — our Pelikan M200, Souverän M400, Souverän M800, Souverän M805 and Souverän M1000 — and any cartridge pen fitted with a converter, including the Pelikan P205 and the Estie Fountain Pen.

A 62.5 ml bottle fills a Souverän M800 some forty-five times.
