A new limited fountain pen ink line from TWSBI! This frosted glass bottle contains 18ml of Orange fountain pen ink.

The series name 1791 comes from a famous book written in 1791 in China, called "The Dreams of the Red Chamber". TWSBI picked names for each of these inks in Chinese from this book. In English, the names just describe the color of the ink, however, in Chinese, it comes from 6 famous buildings described in this book.

A truly legible and dynamic orange

Of course when I find my perfect orange ink, it's a limited edition.
Well, I hope they un-limit it because this is exactly the burnt, but vibrant orange that I've been seeking for quite some time now.

Goes down lighter, but gets darker as it dries.

Goes with my Orange Jinhao Shark pen

Have a set of different Jinhao Shark pens. This ink matched the orange one perfectly. Now I can color like a kid again.

Love the color

Love the color, I have to try other colors now. Life beyond Black

Very orange but I guess that is what you’re buying

A perfect orange

This is a perfect orange ink! It is exactly the color I imagine when I think of orange. I've had samples of other orange inks and thought I didn't like orange ink, but this is lovely. I got it to match my Monteverde Regatta Mondrian and it works well. I can't imagine a better orange ink.

Pretty Color

I think I love TWSBI inks almost as much as I love their pens. The color is a lovely, pure orange. I like the smaller bottles so I can have more of a selection. As always, the service was amazing and the inks were bagged separately to avoid ruining the whole package if there was a mishap in transit.

Never disappointed

My experience with Goulet pens is always a good one. I would continue doing business with Goulet pens even if the prices were higher than other places simply because of the customer service.

Not as vibrant as I was hoping

Based on the swatch shown I expected something very vibrant. It's a nice orange, but did not pop off the page as I expected it would. The nib I'm using it with is a medium but I think it would be more suited for a broad or stub if you are aiming to really get that orange color. A fine nib, or even a smaller medium (TWSBI medium is what I'm using with it) just isn't quite broad enough for that wow effect.

Happy customer

Great service, great ink, pretty bottle. Thank you for the video on how to turn a Platinum Preppy into an eye dropper pen!

Electric Orange

I like the jello-look of this ink, it's bright, bold, and very orange!

TWSBI Orange

I bought this ink to match with an orange diplomat traveler, and I am very pleased. It's a nice vibrant orange, and I find it pleasant to use.

One of my favorite inks

I wasn't expecting much from this ink, but I really like it. It is one of my go to inks now. It's like Noodler's Dragon Napalm but darker and richer, in my opinion. The bottle is pretty cool, too. I like it so much that I bought a second bottle at another retailer since Goulet was sold out. I hope TWSBI adds this color to their standard line-up of inks. *Note I didn't check water resistence, but I couldn't submit the review without indicating something in that category, so I picked medium.

TWSBI 1791 Orange

Great color. I'd put it in the red-orange category similar to Noodler's Dragon Napalm but warmer but not as golden yellow as Pilot iroshizuku Yuyake. It is very wet in a Lamy Al-Star medium nib pen. Flows well and once dry doesn't seem to smear or bleed very much with a brush and water. Cool little bottle and I feel like it was money well spent.

Great ink

Currently my favorite ink, it produces a great gradient between light and dark strokes

Frequently Asked Questions

Which pens can accept this ink?

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink. You can also refill an empty ink cartridge from bottled ink using an ink syringe.
