The Pro Gear Imperial Black comes attractively packaged in a Carbofine presentation box picture below. In homage to the pen's design, the box itself is realized in varying shades of black, including the inside velvet lining. A bottle of Sailor Black ink is also included. 

Sailor has begun including the following notice with all pens sold with the Black Ion-Plated nib: "Please note the 21k solid gold nib on this pen is specially ion-plated to give the unique color. Only Sailor inks should be used with this pen to avoid damage to the nib plating. Any damage to the nib caused by the use of other branded inks, will not be covered under the Sailor standard warranty."
