Review:
Pilot Iroshizuku Kon-Peki is a deep blue ink that is one of the brighter Iroshizuku blue inks. It comes in a decorative 50 milliliter bottle that will last for months, even with frequent use. The ink itself is black, but as it moves back and forth it leaves a blue hue on whatever material it is encased in. This causes the ink to have a unique look in the bottle and demonstrator fountain pens. The pictures in this review show Pilot Iroshizuku Kon Peki used in a TWSBI Diamond 580RB fountain pen with a fine nib on a Rhodia notebook sheet.
While the ink may be too bright for use in professional settings, it flows smoothly, dries relatively quickly, and does not have any sheen or particles that could clog a fountain pen. It can be paired with demonstrator pens (such as the Kaweco Al Sport and TWSBI Diamond 580RB pictured) and blue non-demonstrator pens with relative ease. It is relatively easy to clean from the pens, as long as it has not stayed dormant in a pen for months at a time.
For the aforementioned reasons, Pilot Iroshizuku's Kon-Peki ink is recommended by Lion Stationers. It can be purchased from the following vendors:
