Sailor Dipton Ink Bottle (Lemon - 15 ML) 13-1801-206
Bright as a sunlit zest, Lemon is a pastel yellow pigment ink in Sailor’s Dipton “Creamy” collection, designed especially for dip pens and glass pens. Encased in a compact 15?mL glass bottle, this ink delivers vibrant contrast even on dark paper surfaces, enabling striking calligraphy, decorative accents, and layered artwork.
Features & Characteristics
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Color / Hue | A soft but bold pastel yellow — reminiscent of lemon curd or fresh citrus peel. |
| Ink Type | Pigment?based (opaque) rather than dye — it deposits particulate color rather than being fully soluble. |
| Opacity / Visibility | Strong opacity — designed to stand out even on black or dark-toned paper. |
| Sheen / Shimmer / Effects | None. Lemon in the Dipton Creamy line is described as having no sheen, no shading, no shimmer — a clean, solid tone. |
| Volume | 15?mL |
| Reference / Code | 13?1801?206 |
| Intended Use | Exclusively for dip pens or glass pens. Do not use in fountain pens, as the pigment nature may clog delicate feed mechanisms. |
| Origin | Made in Japan |
Performance & Behavior
-
Flow / Texture
The “Creamy” ink formulation gives it a smooth, steady flow that lays down color cleanly. Because pigments tend to settle, users should gently invert or roll the bottle before dipping. -
Consistency / Stability
Being pigment-based, the ink particles may gradually settle; consistent mixing or gentle agitation is recommended to maintain color uniformity. -
Drying Time & Smearing
Drying times may be moderate, especially on more absorbent papers. Because it’s opaque, thick layers may take longer to fully set before they resist smudging. -
Compatibility
Works best on smooth, high-quality paper — particularly dark or colored stocks — where its opacity and brightness can shine.
Usage Guidelines & Tips
-
Shake or invert before use
Never assume the pigment is evenly distributed — gently mix before dipping to maintain color integrity. -
Use only with dip or glass pens
To avoid clogging or damage, refrain from using this ink in fountain pens. Its pigment solids pose a risk in small feed channels. -
Clean tools after use
Promptly rinse the nib or pen tip after each use to remove residual pigment. Use clean water and, if needed, a soft brush or mild pen cleaner. -
Limit exposure to dust / light
Keep the cap tight and store upright to prevent contamination or drying. -
Test first on scrap paper
Before committing to an artwork or lettering, try a swatch to observe behavior, opacity, or layering.
