Sailor Storia Mix Ink Bottle (Solvent - 20 ML) 14-1009-000
The STORiA MiX Solvent is a specialized diluting / blending liquid designed specifically for Sailor’s STORiA MiX pigment ink system. It allows users to expand their palette by creating lighter, more pastel, or brightness?tuned versions of STORiA MiX inks through controlled dilution. This solvent is not a standard fountain pen ink, but rather a complementary fluid formulated to mix only with STORiA MiX pigment inks.
Because STORiA MiX inks are pigment?based, the solvent is engineered to preserve the water and light resistance of the pigment formulations (i.e. it doesn’t degrade those properties when used properly).
Color & Visual Behavior
-
The solvent itself is clear / transparent — it has no color of its own.
-
When mixed with STORiA MiX pigment inks, it lightens or “washes out” the pigment, producing paler, brighter shades while retaining the original pigment’s character (hue, resistance).
-
It does not behave like a dye or additive pigment ink — its purpose is dilution / blending, not color.

Use Cases & Functionality
-
Custom Color Mixing / Blending: The solvent enables you to dilute strong pigment inks so as to reach lighter pastel tones or more nuanced shades without losing stability.
-
Preserves Pigment Qualities: Because STORiA MiX is a pigment-based ink, the solvent is carefully formulated to maintain water resistance and lightfastness even in diluted form.
-
Do Not Use with Other Inks: The solvent is incompatible with Sailor’s conventional STORiA ink line (13?1006), or likely with other brands’ inks. Mixing across lines is explicitly discouraged.
-
Precision / Controlled Use: Because the solvent has no pigment, your final color depends fully on the ratio of ink to solvent. This means careful measurement, small batch testing, and good stirring / mixing practice are key to reproducible results.
Practical Tips & Considerations
-
Start Small / Test First: Use small volumes (e.g. pipettes or micro syringes) when mixing so you can test progressive dilutions without wasting pigment ink.
-
Mixing Order Matters: Add solvent gradually to the pigment ink rather than trying to “thin” too fast, to maintain control over color and prevent over?dilution.
-
Storage & Evaporation: Because it is a solvent, seal the cap tightly after use to prevent evaporation or contamination.
-
Cleaning & Maintenance: When you use diluted pigment inks, ensure the pen / nib is cleaned thoroughly if switching back, since residual pigment may deposit.
-
Cap It Immediately: To limit exposure to air and maintain solvent integrity, always recap immediately after use.

Functional Purpose & Behavior
-
This solvent is used to dilute / lighten STORiA MiX pigment inks, allowing users to produce paler, brighter shades or custom intensity levels.
-
Importantly, the formulation is designed so that dilution does not degrade the water resistance or pigment / lightfast properties of STORiA MiX inks.
-
The liquid is clear / colorless and has no pigment of its own; it’s solely a blending vehicle. (It is called “?? ????” — exclusive diluting liquid)
-
It is volatile / prone to evaporation, so the cap must be closed tightly after each use.
-
Only mix the solvent with STORiA MiX inks—do not mix it with other inks or use it outside its intended system, as that may lead to degradation or unexpected behavior.
Usage Notes & Important Precautions
-
Use in authorized Sailor / STORiA MiX systems only (Sailor fountain pens, dip pens). Use in non?compatible pens or systems may cause clogging or functional issues.
-
As with all pigment?based inks / mixtures, regular cleaning / maintenance of pen feeds is vital to prevent buildup.
-
When mixing, add the solvent gradually to the MiX pigment ink to achieve the desired dilution. Homogeneous mixing is key to consistent color results.
-
Avoid mixing with conventional STORiA inks (13?1006) — the manufacturer explicitly forbids such cross?mixing.
-
Because the solvent evaporates easily, if the cap is left open or loosely sealed, it may concentrate or degrade over time.
-
Do not use for drawing / marking on any surface not intended for writing — it is a specialty component, not a stand?alone ink.
