How long does 1ml of fountain pen last?
If you use a fine nib on your fountain pen, the ink in your bottle will last approximately 1.6 times longer than if you use a medium nib. I conducted an experiment to determine how many pages I could write using 50 milliliters of ink, and I will present the results below.
With a medium nib, a bottle of fountain pen ink containing 50 milliliters will last 1250 pages (A4); with a broad nib, it will last 1000 pages; and with a fine nib, it would last 3200 pages. You will receive approximately fifty refills out of each bottle on average, and depending on how frequently you write, you may be able to use the same bottle for a number of years.
This is about equivalent to 140,000 words when using a broad nib, 165,000 words when using a medium nib, and 380,000 words while using a fine nib. In other words, presuming you have your first draft published, you can write anywhere from one to three novels using just one bottle of ink.
It is dependent on the type of cartridge, converter, or pen that you use to determine the exact number of refills. In the following section, I'll go through the specifics of how many refills you'll receive for each type.
Because the precise number of pages will change based on the nib size, the type of paper, and the qualities of the ink, I've devised an experiment in which I test three distinct nib sizes in order to provide an answer that is as definitive as possible.
Consumption of Ink for Three Different Nib Sizes
Before delving into the specifics of the experiment, I'd first like to provide a high-level overview of the findings from the testing. Find below a thorough explanation of the results.
When using fine nibs, the amount of ink used is significantly reduced. My testing has been done with a fine nib, which is so little that it may be classified as extra fine. Let's go on to the next step and figure out how much ink we go through for every ten pages:
