Glass Bottle A warm black, this is a true artist’s ink. Non-waterproof black holds precise pen line work as well as bold strokes and delicate brushwork. It differs greatly from black watercolor in that watercolor displays more water solubility and transparency than non-waterproof black ink due to the gum arabic binder. Non-waterproof black ink is semi-opaque and staining: dry edges may be softened, but are not completely lifted. This non-waterproof formula allows for seamless blending, shading, and washes — ideal for artists who seek to create depth and dimension in their work. The ink’s reactivity to water enables delicate transitions and soft gradients. This ink is forgiving, allowing for corrections and adjustments. Its carefully balanced, carbon pigment formula is the lightest of the Higgins India Inks, but can be layered to create dense areas of black, as well as diluted to create subtle shifts in the lightest gray tones. Bottles contain dropper to make ink easy to dispense without the risk of spilling. AP Non-Toxic, conforms to ASTM D-4241 and Made in USA. ## Features - A warm black, this is a true artist’s ink.

Testei em papel deleter normal (não o kent). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Love *by on Reviewed in the United States 4 January 2026* Black India Ink has been a fantastic addition to my art supplies for class projects. The deep, rich black pigment delivers an intense, consistent tone that really makes line work and illustrations pop. Whether I’m doing detailed pen-and-ink drawings, mixed-media pieces, or brush washes, the ink performs reliably every time.One of the biggest strengths of this ink is its smooth flow and opacity. It doesn’t streak or fade when applied, and it offers great coverage even with light layers. It dries fairly quickly (which is great for fast-paced class sessions), and once dry it stays put without smudging — perfect for students who are still mastering control and technique.I also appreciate how versatile it is: it works wonderfully with dip pens, brushes, and technical pens alike. Cleanup is easy with just a bit of water, and the bottle is sturdy and easy to pour. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent *by on Reviewed in Canada 6 February 2026* Clean and beautiful ## Frequently Bought Together - Higgins Black India Pigmented Drawing Ink - for Artists and Students - 1 oz.
