ZIG CARTOONIST BLACK INK 60

Great ink. Bought this for Inktober, and used it to great effect, both with dip pens and with brushes. I also did some really fun techniques where I laid down a line and sprayed with water. I’ve not actually tried this with Copic markers, but I would be very surprised if this ink was ‘Copic safe’, judging by how well it reactivates with water.. I could be wrong, though.

Firstly, in the picture I quickly brushed some ink onto very cheap sketchbook paper and despite the amount of ink being uneven it dried fairly matte to my surprise. If that had been Dr Ph. Martins bombay(a fine ink for the price) you definitely would see harsh brush stroke marks. I image this is due to it being fast drying.The first ink I used was pentel pocket brush pen and I was trying to get a cheaper ink that had a similar look. Watermans was really watery and then Dr Ph Martin Bombay was great for the price but still wasnt matte and fast drying like pentel pocket brush pen ink. Now this one is fast drying, matte and cheap so I am very happy. I'm currently trying it in a brush pen to see if it will clog or not. I will be okay using traditional brushes if it ends up clogging over the next few days though.

Daughter is artistic and didn't like the quality of other inks. She says this one is good

Great in. Use it for inking comics. Nice and dark. Highly recommended. I use this with a quill type pen and love it!

Good product
