The Berry colour

Berry is a rich, fruity violet with a smooth, creamy body, ideal for headings, illustrations and decorative calligraphy.

Made for dip pens only

Dipton inks are richly pigmented and creamy, which is what makes Berry so opaque. That same body means Berry must not be used in fountain pens. Use Berry with dip pens, glass pens or brushes, and rinse your nib with water after use.

Tips for using Berry

Stir or gently shake the Berry bottle before use, as pigment can settle. Layer Berry for deeper colour, and let it dry fully before touching the page. Berry looks especially striking on dark and black paper.
