Pelikan 4001

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pelikan 4001 is a series of fountain pen inks by Pelikan. It got its name this way: Writing ink formulas were in book number 4 and the first formula was recorded as 001.

According to fountain pen enthusiasts Pelikan 4001 is generally considered to be "safe fountain pen ink"; it does not stain or clog fountain pens very easily.

Pelikan 4001 has been manufactured in many colours, but currently it is available in about ten, in bottles and cartridges: Royal Blue, Blue Black, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red, Brilliant Green, Brilliant Brown, Violet, Turquoise and Pink. All colours except Pink are available in 30 ml and 62.5 ml bottles. All colours except Brilliant Brown are available in "international cartridges", both short and long size. Royal Blue and Brilliant Black are also available in 50 ml, 250 ml and 1 litre bottles. Royal Blue can be easily washed out from clothes and textiles.
