Sailor Studio Ink Bottle (464 Green - 20ML) 13-1210-464

The Sailor Ink Studio 464 Green is one of the vibrant offerings from Sailor’s Ink Studio series, a carefully curated collection of 100 unique dye?based fountain pen inks.  This 20?mL bottle gives you a modest but richly pigmented amount for daily use, rotation, or sampling. 

The bottle is crafted from glass in a compact, square design, making it both elegant and functional.  For convenience, each bottle includes small converter labels (stickers) to help you mark which ink is loaded in each pen. 

Color & Visual Character

Color 464 is often described as a green / turquoise / teal hue — somewhere between green and blue, with a lively and fresh aquatic character.  In swatch tests, it shows a “mid to light blue-green” tone, and when diluted or blended with water, it can feather into faint bluish edges.  Under certain conditions, subtle shading or halo effects may appear, though the color tends to remain relatively even in normal writing. 

It is not a shimmering or glittery ink — there are no particles or metallic sheen in the formulation. 

Technical Specifications & Behavior

• Ink type: Water?based dye ink (non?pigmented, not iron gall) 

• Volume: 20?mL per bottle 

• Bottle dimensions: Approximately W?34 × D?34 × H?58 mm 

• Weight (full): ~?94.0 g 

• Packaging: Supplied in a paperboard box (about 37.5 × 37.5 × 61 mm) 

Performance & Usage Notes

• Flow & “Wetness”: In many user reports, 464 is somewhat wetter than average — it delivers solid saturation.  Because of this, extremely dry?flowing nibs may reduce its vibrancy or subtle shading.

• Drying Time: On more absorbent papers it dries reasonably well; on slower or high?quality/hot?pressed papers, it might take a little longer.

• Shading / Halos: Some halo or slight variations in tone may appear under heavier or wet strokes, though it’s not heavily shading in typical writing. 

• Feathering / Bleed / Edge Effects: In swatch test to water, the ink shows a tendency to feather or bleed a bit at the edges into bluish hues. 

• Safe for Pens / Clean-up: As a dye?based ink, it is formulated to be safe for most fountain pens and relatively easy to flush. Still, regular cleaning is advisable if the pen is left unused for extended periods. 

• Water Resistance: Low — the ink is not water resistant, and contact with water can cause smudging or washout. 

• Freezing or Stability: No special freeze resistance or permanence claims are made by the manufacturer. 

Use Cases & Appeal

• Perfect for those seeking a fresh teal/green tone that stands out without being overly exuberant.

• Great for journaling, creative writing, mixed media, sketching, or accenting.

• The 20 mL size encourages ink rotation and experimentation.

• The converter labels simplify managing multiple pens or colors over time.

Sample / User Impressions

• Some users have praised 464 for its rich, saturated yet legible color in both fine and broader nibs. 

• In swatch reviews, it is identified among the “grey greens” or “blue?greens” group, showing a mid?tone aquatic personality with edge coloration in tests. 

• One user on a fountain pen forum mentioned seeing 464 as a desirable match for a “jadeite glass green” look. 

• Enthusiasts also note Sailor’s attention to detail in consistency and pen?safety across the Ink Studio line.
