TalensIndian Ink 490ml

This is a top notch ink for fine art at a reasonable price. Talens makes a number of well known fine art products, including Amsterdam acrylic inks. This India ink is superb on paper. It waters down well, has a nice sheen and excellent pigment grind. On film and hard surfaces (epoxy, ACM panel) it adheres well but gets glossy. More expensive but more refined than Speedball India, more viscous and darker than Higgins India, nearly as black as Higgins Black Magic (but far cheaper per oz/ml). It's right up there with the best inks from Koh-i-noor, Sennelier, etc.

I've been looking for ink that is both waterproof AND copic-proof and I finally found it!I've tried many different brands and have done many tests and this ink works best with my method of drawing. With this ink, you can do inkwashes, watercolor, copics all over the inked lines without having to worry about smudging. It's GREAT!The bottle on the other hand is very poorly designed. The lip or spout doesn't really work. Ink tends to drip on the side of the bottle when you pour it. Also I've had times where a bubble would form in the hole basically preventing it from pouring and then the bubble pops splattering ink on you.I recommend using another bottle or container if you're going to buy this ink.

Came much quicker than expected. Which was helpful.

Everything was perfect.

Encre de chine de qualité. Mais attention au bec verseur ! Vous allez en mettre partout. Enlevez ce bec en caoutchouc et versez directement dans petite bouteille pour ensuite dessiner.

Inchiostro un po’ troppo liquido per l’utiiizzo di stampe monotipo su tavoletta, scivola troppo.Non è colpa del prodotto che in se è buono.

This is great ink. I use it mainly to paint tattoo flash. Amazing price, before this stuff I was paying £3.50 for a 15ml bottle of Indian ink, but this was £17ish for 490ml - crazy value! Apparently it's the industry standard for lining and spitshading tattoo flash so I'm glad I found it here.My only tiny issue is that you need some other container to decant it, I use a cleaned out candle tin with a lid and I only pour out as much as I need for the project. Not big enough a problem to drop a star though. 🙃

Ok
