Pure Pens Ink - Saltire Blue

The Pure Pens Ink range was first launched in February 2018. The idea behind the ink was to provide a high-quality series to customers, which was affordable, and also told a bit about the company in the process.

With Pure Pens a proud Welsh company, developing Celtic-themed inks seemed entirely befitting. Many of the inks tend to sit in between other ink producers' main colours, giving fountain pen fans another unique palette to add to their collection.

There's something really quite comforting in the Saltire blue shade- named after Scotland's St Andrew's cross flag. It evokes images of the Celtic scenery and is an equally homely and characterful shade.

The ink possesses a purple-red sheen which shows where the ink pools. Otherwise, the blue of the ink sits somewhere between royal and navy. It lays down an especially rich tone when you combine it with a wet nib- the wetter the better!

The ink comes bottled in a retro-shaped 60ml bottle, which is hand-filled, hand-labelled and hand-sealed!
