Product Overview
Add a breath of menthol?fresh elegance to your dip pen collection with Sailor’s Dipton Creamy Mint Ink.

Crafted by Sailor in Japan, it belongs to the Dipton “Creamy” line—formulated especially for dip pens and glass pens.
Key Features & Benefits
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Color / Appearance | A soft mint pastel green hue, solid and clean, with no sheen or shading. |
| Opacity & Coverage | Richly pigmented and opaque—designed to stand out even on dark or black paper. |
| Consistency / Texture | Creamy, smooth flow that deposits a steady, even line. |
| Ink Type | Pigment?based (not dye), meaning it is more opaque and may require more careful handling/cleaning. |
| Intended Use | Exclusively for dip pens or glass pens — not suitable for use in fountain pens (risk of clogging) |
| Volume & Packaging | 15?mL in a small square/round glass bottle. |
| Origin | Made in Japan, by Sailor — known for high standards in ink and nib manufacture. |
Writing & Artistic Applications
-
Ideal for Dark Papers: Because of its strong opacity, Mint works beautifully on dark-toned, black, charcoal, or toned journals.
-
Calligraphy & Embellishments: Excellent for decorative letterforms, flourishes, highlights, and overlays.
-
Mixed Media & Layering: The creamy pigment can be used in mixed media settings (e.g. applied over watercolor or layered effects), though always test compatibility first.
-
Expressive Qualities: Its steady opacity and pastel tone make it suitable for both delicate strokes and expressive script.
Usage & Handling Tips
-
Shake Before Use
Pigment particles naturally settle, so gently roll or invert the bottle (don’t vigorously swirl) before dipping. -
Dip Pen Only
Use with traditional dip pens or glass pens. Do not use inside the feed or reservoir of a fountain pen—pigment inks can clog and damage the feed system. -
Quick Cleaning
After use, rinse the nib thoroughly with water and dry it immediately. For stubborn pigment residue, use a soft brush or mild pen cleaning solution. -
Storage
Store upright, sealed tightly, away from extreme temperature changes and direct sunlight. -
Compatibility Testing
When combining with other inks or media, test on scrap paper first, especially because pigment inks may behave differently than dye?based inks.
Safety & Warnings
-
Keep the cap tightly closed when not in use to prevent dust contamination or drying.
-
Avoid contact with skin or eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
-
As with many Sailor inks, there may be a distinctive chemical odor (some users note a faint “paint?like” or phenol smell) — this is generally considered normal within the Sailor family of inks.
-
Because this is pigment-based ink, if left to dry inside delicate pen mechanisms, it may be difficult or impossible to flush out fully.

Usage & Handling Notes

-
Cleaning After Use: Always rinse the pen nib thoroughly after each use with water to prevent pigment buildup.
-
