●dye ink
The ink used in the coloring material contains dyes and has the property of dissolving in water.
It is easy to handle and less prone to issues within fountain pens.
Currently, many fountain pen inks are dye-based inks.
Due to their water-sensitivity, they tend to smudge when wet and are also susceptible to fading (discoloration) caused by light exposure.

●pigment ink
This ink uses pigments that have the property of not dissolving in water.
It exhibits superior water resistance and lightfastness compared to dye-based inks.It produces more distinct strokes than dye-based inks, making it less prone to smudging and show-through.
However, regarding the water resistance of "KIWAGURO," "SEIBOKU," and "SOUBOKU," it does not guarantee complete resistance to water (no dissolution in water whatsoever).
For example, if rain comes into contact with an envelope addressed with "KIWAGURO" ink, the text itself will not wash away and become illegible.
However, the wet ink may dissolve in water, causing the envelope to become dirty.
This is because as a pigment-based ink for fountain pens, it is designed with some degree of water solubility to ensure ease of cleaning and minimize issues during drying.
Additionally, please keep in mind that the water resistance of the ink's strokes can be significantly influenced by the type of paper used.

In many cases, the nib is clogged due to ink components that have hardened due to drying or foreign matter.
Please clean your fountain pen before use.
