Sailor Dipton Ink Bottle (Bubble gum - 15 ML) 13-1801-203
Product Overview
The Sailor Dipton “Creamy” line is Sailor’s series of opaque, pigmented inks developed specifically for dip pen / glass pen use — not for use in fountain pens. Bubble Gum (code 13?1801?203) is one of the pastel / creamy shades in that line. Onlinemantra describes it as a “light blue pastel creamy ink” with rich pigmentation and good opacity even on dark paper.
Papeterie Makkura characterizes Bubble Gum as a “creamy, opaque, light blue pastel ink” that is “particularly visible on dark and black papers,” and notes that it has no sheen or shading, giving a solid, intense color.
Yoseka Stationery also lists it in their catalog as a pigmented dip?pen ink in a 15?mL bottle, part of the Creamy series, good for layering and creative art use.

-

Functional & Behavioral Notes
-
Opacity & Visibility: Because it is a pigmented, opaque ink, Bubble Gum maintains visibility even when used on dark or black paper surfaces.
-
Shading / Sheen / Effects: This variant is reported to have no shading and no sheen — its output is consistent, uniform, and solid in color.
-
Water Resistance: Not water resistant — exposure to moisture may cause smudging or washout.
-
Use Limitations: Must not be used in fountain pens due to its pigmented formulation, which can clog pen feeds or damage internal parts. Suitable only for dip pens or glass nibs.
-
Mixing / Handling: Pigmented inks tend to settle — shaking or stirring before use is recommended to restore uniform dispersion (common practice for pigment inks). (Implicit from “pigment ink” nature)
-
Application / Use Cases: Ideal for calligraphy, decorative writing, drawing or overlays on dark or colored papers due to its opacity and pastel tone.
