Black India ink - 1 fl oz

Higgins Non-Waterproof Black Ink offers artists exceptional versatility for creating depth, dimension, and expressive artwork. Unlike waterproof inks, its water-reactive formula allows for smooth blending, shading, and delicate transitions. Artists can achieve soft gradients, make adjustments, and layer the ink for bold, rich tones or subtle gray variations. Designed for pen and brush applications, this semi-opaque ink maintains precise line work while accommodating bold strokes. First produced in 1880, Higgins ink remains a trusted choice for artists, calligraphers, and illustrators.
