    Esterbrooks IMOP give you the best bang for the buck and are not to bad aesthetically either.

    Pelikan ink is very safe in latex sac pens as is Sheaffer and traditional Waterman ink.

    I learned the hard way using some modern inks that melted the sac- live and learn.

    I use exotic, modern inks in my converter pens, but still flush as they can eat the feed.

    Vintage Sheaffer is one of my favorite safe inks as it had better water resistance to current Sheaffer ink.

    In fine nibs that can run dry Sheaffer also has great flow, but of course you are limited in color choice.

    Diamine from what I have used is very safe as well for sac pens.

    Of course mostly all currents inks are safe for vintage pens if you flush them every time, however I forget which ink is in what pen and just keep the safe bet if I forget and leave ink in for a while🤯
