Fountain pens are our speciality, so here at The Writing Desk we are proud to stock what is undoubtedly the largest range of bottled fountain pen inks in the UK. If you thought that coloured fountain pen ink was a thing of the past and that all you could buy now was black or blue bottled ink then think again! At last count we had over 800 different bottled inks to choose from making us the leading fountain pen ink shop in the UK. Just use the filters on the left (bottom on mobiles) to optimise your selection.
We recommend staying far away from nameless ink vendors, but if you want to experiment with super cheap inks, here are some options that people around the fountain pen community have tested and recommended. Just make sure to test them with an inexpensive fountain pen with a steel nib before you put them into anything fancy.
(Notes: As with the previous update to this list, we are running into some real pricing headwinds. The Esterbrook Estie, which is similar to the Leonardo, is creeping up to $195 as a starting point. The new versions of the Montegrappa Elmo are well beyond $200 now, when they were formerly a lock for this list. And that list keeps growing. Right now, the Pilot Custom 92 (in certain colors) is one of the best fountain pen deals on the planet, but I hesitate to add it to the list because the product line seems dormant. We will continue to see a lot of change here for the foreseeable future. (Updated 11/15/2022))

I have always loved the look and the mystique of fountain pens. As a writer, I have a sentimental attachment to the written word, and all things that go with it. I've always had a bizarre fascination with stationery stores. I own far too many notebooks, and while you would have to drag me kicking and screaming into a shopping mall, I'll happily spend money on office supplies. As such, maybe it was a foregone conclusion that I would some day grow fond of fountain pens.
If you're like me, you'll read a lot, you'll feel lost, and you'll be intimidated. And then eventually, after months and months of reading stuff that you barely understand, you'll decide to take the plunge and buy a pen and see what happens. You'll make some mistakes, but eventually after some trial and error, you'll start to realize just what these fountain pen aficionados are so crazy about. Or, you'll give up because it's too much hassle and regret having waster your money.
That's why I decided to write this. My goal is to give someone who wants to try fountain pens for the first time a step-by-step guide on how to go from true beginner to early-stage addiction in a single concise article, all the while removing some of the intimidation and false starts that come with plunging in on our own.
I could write a whole glossary just on the terms and terminology used in the fountain pen world, but that's not my goal here. My goal is simply to give you the most basic definitions you'll need to understand the rest of this article. I want to focus on things that someone who doesn't know much about fountain pens wouldn't know, while not getting into details that are unnecessary for someone just getting started.
The nib is the part of the pen that touches the paper, and that the ink comes out of. On most pens it will be stainless steel, and on higher end pens it will be gold. By changing a nib, you can completely change the experience of writing with a pen. One of the first decisions you'll have to make when buying a fountain pen is the size of the nib's tip.
On most standard fountain pens, nibs can come in various points from extra fine to bold. The tip of the nib will determine just how much ink is released, and the thic
