Pilot ink question

[sbl212]

Is the ink used in Pilot's cartridges same as their bottled inks?
Like this one ---> http://www.gouletpens.com/Pilot_Namiki_Black_60ml_Ink_p/pn69200.htm

Also the ink in the cartridge smells (like rubber or plastic?) that I don't smell in my other inks. Anyone know what that is?

Thanks!

Question #2:
Biocides. Generally speakin' inks have stuff in them to prevent molding.
Pilot has a strong smell. Some inks do. Some are more pleasant to the nose.

Question #1:
Probably the same. They look the same to me. :hippie:
