PenBBS grew out of China's largest online fountain pen forum, which began producing its own pens and inks for the community in the mid-2010s. Its inks are released in numbered seasonal batches, with each color carrying a catalog number and a name drawn from Chinese literature, history, places, and nature. The huge, ever-rotating range spans well-behaved workhorse colors as well as shimmer and sheen formulas at a modest price.
