Higgins India Inks

Higgins India Inks are a trusted choice for artists seeking rich, permanent, and versatile black ink. Made with micro-pulverized pigment (PBk7) suspended in a shellac solution, these inks deliver deep, opaque tones with a matte or semi-gloss finish, depending on the surface. They are waterproof, lightfast, and fade-resistant, making them ideal for illustration, calligraphy, comics, and mixed media work. Compatible with dip pens, brushes, and airbrushes, Higgins India Inks can be used full strength for bold lines or diluted with distilled water for tonal washes. While some formulations are fountain pen-safe, most are not recommended for fountain pens due to potential clogging.
