The description mentions it, but generally, all fountain pens cannot take pigment ink. Pigments are solids floating in the liquid. Solid particles + fountain pen = clogged pen. It says these are ultra-fine pigments, which may be friendlier, but if anyone's buying these to use in a fountain pen, I would recommend triple-checking with others.

darkfelinePlatinum are a very well respected (Japanese) maker of fountain pens. These pigmented inks are specifically designed for fountain pens. While you are correct that most pigmented inks - particularly the old fashioned india ink type inks - are completely incompatible with fountain pens, the new nano-tech pigmented inks such as these and those made by Sailor (Japan) and De Atramentis (Germany) are safe (if maybe a little more high maintenance than say Waterman Blue). While I wouldn't leave a pigmented ink in a pen for 6+ months, leaving it to dry out etc, I've never had any problems leaving the Sailor nan-ink in a pen for several months.
