Review: Excellent color, very nice smooth flow. - Don't let the pale tan-brown color dot in the product image fool you, this isn't "crayola" sepia-brown as some ink noobs may be expecting, but a superb rendition of true Cuttlefish Sepia ink color tone. The somewhat metallic brown with a purple-red undertone is indeed correct for sepia ink. Actually, as my wife said, it looks like dried blood. Spot on. Depending on the light and paper, this can look brown, dark copper, burgundy, or almost black. This is a great color, very smooth flowing and skip-free. It's nice in any standard nib and really comes into its own with a stub or soft nib where some subtle shading kicks in. This is my general-purpose ink, dark and classy enough for professional use but distinctive enough to catch the eye. I like to keep some on hand and in my work pens as it's impractical to bring an ink bottle to meetings and such, but a cartridge can be discreetly swapped when needed. Be aware when you rinse this it will run a dark red and any paper towels you blot your nib on will soak up a terrifying "wound-bandage red" so be sure to alert your family or they may think a terrible accident has occurred :-) There are other similar bottled Sepias out there but this is great ink, awesome color, convenient cartridges. And if you need true browns, look at some of the Pilot Iroshizuku inks, they are top of the line and there are some nice true browns available.
Review: Good for Metropolitan - Pilot makes great pens, and great ink. Works well in my Metropolitan fine tip.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is the ink archival and fadeproof?**
A: It seems to be fade proof but I don’t know about archival.

**Q: Is this ink waterproof?**
A: No. Any ink that is put into fountain pens, needs to be water soluble, else the ink will dry and the pen becomes totally useless

**Q: Will this fit in the Pocket brush pen?**
A: The pilot pocket brush pens of the cheaper variety $4-12 are not refillable.  The more expensive pilot brush pens -$60-70 are refillable but take a different cartridge then the IC50.  
The pentel pocket brush pens are all refillable but take the pentel cartridge rather then the pilot.

**Q: Would this ink work for pilot's parallel pen?**
A: Should fit any Pilot pen that takes their ink cartridges. I have no personal experience with this, however.

Pilot makes great pens, and great ink. Works well in my Metropolitan fine tip.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It turns pink when water activated.😝
*by K***Y on January 12, 2026*

I got these because I’m in an art group on Facebook and we were doing a month long series of drawing with fountain pen and then taking a water brush to use move the ink around to paint them. Someone had the PRETTIEST color of pink I’ve ever seen. I asked her what it was and it was this sepia. Interesting that this sepia turns pink when water activated. I love it!
