I wanted a drawing ink that I could use in my foundation pens and paint with watercolours after, and this was exactly what I was looking for. It’s a bit on the pricey side compared to the Diamine inks I’m used to, but definitely not as expensive as other inks out there. I have found that you need to make sure that the ink has been properly dried for a few hours otherwise the ink still can have a tendency to run if you try to paint over it too soon. I did read somewhere that it might be best to have dedicated fountain pens for this waterproof ink so I have Lamy pens with different sized nibs that I use with this ink and nothing else, but honestly it rinses out fine with just water that I probably wouldn’t have a problem switching between different inks. Haven’t needed to use an ink flush fluid or anything. I wouldn’t let the ink dry in the pen though just to be safe. Will definitely use again and even try different shades in the range. Highly recommend. Review: Expensive but one of the few waterproof inks you can put in a fountain pen. - Although this ink is expensive you get a good size bottle and it’s one of the few options out there for waterproof ink you can use in a fountain pen making it suitable to use for line and wash or mixed media. Lovely colour for people who don’t want to use a pure black. The bottle hasn’t ever leaked on me. ## Features - WATERPROOF INK for writing, drawing and colouring. Suitable for fountain pens, glass nibs, calligraphy nibs, brushes or brush pens. Perfect for artists, calligraphers, frequent writers, urban sketchers, graphic artists, architects and designers. Intermixable, dilutable and eraser-proof. - 38 BRILLIANT COLOURS with high luminosity, including an opaque white for dark backgrounds and a particularly intense black for drawing accurate outlines or hair-thin lines. The drawing ink dries waterproof in short time and can then be coloured with watercolours or another shade of Write and Draw drawing ink. - FINEST PIGMENTS guarantee high light fastness and ensure a good, even ink flow and a razor-sharp typeface. The drawing ink meets the requirements for document-fast ink according to DIN ISO 12757-2 and DIN ISO 14145-2 and is vegan. - SUITABLE FOR FOUNTAIN PENS, as produced without shellac. Provided the fountain pen is not allowed to dry out, it can be cleaned with warm water. For intensive cleaning, we recommend the Write & Draw special cleaner. - MADE IN GERMANY: Developed and manufactured in the laboratory of the Dresden-based ink manufacturer Octopus Fluids GmbH & Co. KG. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0BG5YQTSB | | Best Sellers Rank | 149,602 in Home & Kitchen ( See Top 100 in Home & Kitchen ) 49 in Drawing Media/Inks | | Brand | Octopus Fluids | | Brand Name | Octopus Fluids | | Container Type | Bottle | | Country Of Origin | Germany | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 473 Reviews | | Ink Colour | Black | | Item Volume | 50 Millilitres | | Item volume | 50 Millilitres | | Manufacturer | Octopus Fluids GmbH & Co.
