Review: Excellent ink for DIP PENS on cheap absorbent copy paper - Excellent ink. No feathering even on cheap absorbent copy paper. As with all India inks, DO NOT USE IN FOUNTAIN PENS, it WILL clog. This ink is made for dip pens. My only complaint would be that due to the nature of this ink and the bottle, the lid can sometimes be very hard to open. It can also leak a lot. So be sure to keep it upright and try not to leave the lid area wet with ink. Can take quite some time to dry. I've found this ink to be very dark, slightly darker than sumi ink.
Review: Great ink for calligraphy - I'm really new to calligraphy and have only just started in the past few weeks. It was all a bit difficult in the beginning to find the right nibs and the right ink. I have found that some ink I bought was way too runny and would just ruin all my efforts of learning to write with a dip pen. This Speedball ink was actually the fourth black ink I bought and I can honestly say that it's the best of all of them I have tried. If you are just learning I can only recommend it, specifically together with a good nib (for example the Nikko G nibs). Learning calligraphy can be very frustrating at first so getting the ink right the first time is a huge help.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can I use this ink for fountain pen?**
A: NO! Never use India Ink or anything that’s not water based in fountain pens! Stick to the ones made by pen manufacturers and ones labeled fountain pen ink. India ink can clog fountain pens and the clean process decimates the pen. Do not listen to anyone who says otherwise, the answer is straight no.

**Q: will this work in platinum carbon desk fountain pen?**
A: No. Do not put this in a fountain pen.

**Q: Can it be thinned with water? I'm going to use it to "age" wood for a modeling project!**
A: Yes. It mixes well with water.

**Q: can this be used in lets say graffiti markers**
A: I honestly cannot answer that...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb ink.
*by K***Y on 30 November 2017*

Love it, it has a warmish hue when graded out. Permanent, yes. Bottle as mentioned is flimsy and has no weight, so be wise and empty asap into a sturdier bottle/jar. Always shake, or better yet, stir well before use with a coffee stick or similar, this is after all pure carbon pigment particles suspended in shellac and water; it will settle with prolonged 'un-use'.
