Long / Narrative Description (for listings, catalogs, etc.)

Introduce your calligraphy, illustrations, and creative works to a new dimension of color with Sailor Dipton Ink – Berry (15?mL). Part of Sailor’s Creamy series of the Dipton line, this ink brings together vibrant opacity and a soft, creamy texture, specially designed for use with dip pens and glass nibs.

The Berry shade delivers a pastel violet tone with strong coverage — even on dark or black paper, this ink holds its ground with clarity and brilliance. Unlike translucent dyes, its pigment-rich formula gives a bold, flat color that shows up consistently without shading or sheen, creating elegant, uniform strokes.

Because it’s made for dip pen use, Berry lets artists, calligraphers, and illustrators layer, overlay, and build depth in ways that typical fountain pen inks cannot match. Whether you’re scripting on dark card stock, creating highlights on illustrations, or doing decorative borders, Dipton Berry stands out.

Inside a compact 15?mL glass bottle, housed in a sleek paper box, this ink carries Sailor’s reputation for quality — from the precision nibs to the expressive ink lines. Just shake gently before use (pigment inks tend to settle), dip your pen, and apply. Because the ink is pigmented, regular cleaning is essential to prevent clogs in sensitive nibs.

Note: This ink is not suitable for fountain pens. Use only with dip pens or glass pens to avoid damage or clogging. Sailor confirms this in its specifications.

Bring Berry into your creative palette and enjoy opaque pastel violet strokes that shine with presence, not shimmer.
