Higgins Black Calligraphy Ink, 2.5 Ounce Bottle (44314)

Be sure to clean your pen, or the flow will be interrupted.

Love this ink. The color is beautiful. Not waterproof and can be used as a wash or in a brush pen. Most of all the new plastic lid is great. The old one has rusty metal lid.

I'm sure this ink is great. However, this is not ink for fountain pen use. Returned this item

I've used the drawing ink years ago and is much darker than this calligraphy ink. Bought this specifically to use in my fountain pens to get back into pen and ink drawing but found out the black is more of a darker Paynes gray. As a result, I decided to experiment mixing it with some Noodlers Dragons Napalm and what a wonderful result!! It creates a non dead black that dries so beautifully for drawing. I highly recommend mixing with other colour inks.

I use for pen and ink over watercolor paintings. Flows nice from a crow quill pen. Easy to control lines and dries quickly.

It's a really beautiful ink that gives more of an aged vintage vibe. It's a bit on the thinner, faster flowing side so I wouldn't use this on really absorbent paper as it will really bloom but on something like cotton paper, it's fun to use.

I have the black ink, it was OK. Got this Sepia ink and it's useless. Color was ok, but it is thinner than even fountain pen ink. You try to load it on a nib and it all immedoately drips off. You put the pen on the paper and get a puddle, you try to write and cannot even finish two words because it has all just run down the nib and spreads all over the paper. This product is basically a scam.

I may have misunderstood the type of ink I was getting, because this sepia is incredibly watery and soaks thru even thick, heavy weighted card stock. I’ve shaken the bottle up, left it as is, none of it matters it’s essentially unusable. It’s too bad. I like the color.

Just tried some sampling of it and it seems a pretty nice ink. Dries in a minute or so on decent cartridge paper and is then fairly waterproof. After a few more minutes it is waterproof so doesn't give you much time to work with for sketching. Will have to try it on Bristol board sometime, it has a shinier surface and make give more working time to wet with a brush. Very pleased with it otherwise and it comes at a very reasonable cost.

Cette encre s'adapte bien au dessin, comme à la calligraphie!

La he comprado para rellenar mi pincel Pentel y resultó muy buena, su resistencia al agua la hace excelente para técnica de acuarela, y se hace permanente sobre el Linoleo para trazar más fácilmente para hacer mis grabados, ADVERTENCIA, no la usen en plumas fuente, porque se seca dentro del sistema, la metí en una Jinhao como prueba y dio mal resultado, pero para dibujo con pincel es de lo mejor.

This ink is for dip pens and brushes, not fountain pens. I ordered them for fountain pens due to incorrect product details.

Writes beautifully, very dark black and so far has been fountain pen friendly. I’ve found it difficult to find an ink ok for fountain pens and waterproof - this is brilliant, plus a very reasonable price too. Very happy with my purchase and adding to my subscribe list.
