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.

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