Thanks so much for showing the ink-comparison vid.
Time's moved on a bit since I last drew with pen-and-ink, and these days I find they're putting all sorts of silly 'improvers' into the basic ink you buy from the shops, that make it waterproof / go funny colours when you try to shade it by getting it wet.
So I've been having some trouble finding a drawing india-type ink that can be used in a fountain ('art'-type) pen - and what you've shown is exactly what I wanted to know about the Pelikan Fount India ink - ie. that it'll smudge instantly once you wet it - actually what I want it to do, so that's a huge help.
