India Inks
India Inks are deep, rich black inks traditionally made from carbon black and a binding agent, known for their permanence, waterproof finish, and intense opacity. Favored by illustrators, calligraphers, and comic artists, India inks flow smoothly from dip pens and brushes and dry to a bold, matte surface. While black is the most common, many brands also offer a range of colors. Ideal for fine line work, washes, and graphic art, India ink is a versatile studio essential for expressive and archival-quality work.
