## Description

Black Star Matte India Ink in a 1.0 oz glass bottle with dropper

Review: Lovely ink, unlike other indian ink - I have been trying out various black inks in my search for the blackest ink I can find. This is pretty good, an attractive cool satin black. For line drawing it looks much like any other black ink. When brushing, it is a lovely deep black, far blacker than Pelikan or Higgins ink. (I haven't compared it to W&N yet). However, where it really shines is when playing with wet on wet drawing. The ink blooms much more extensively and beautifully than my other inks when applied to wet paper, forming an even matt surface with a slight satin sheen. It also dries quickly. If you are looking for a particularly matt ink, I'm not sure this is it. When brushing out to large areas of black, it covers well but has a distinct sheen. If I want a matt surface, I now use Kuretake Zig Cartoonist ink.
Review: Excellent for modelmaking too! - Ink was used to create the outlining on a Borderlands-style model project, and was a joy to use. Low viscosity combined with super-dense pigment means that even over the trickiest surfaces, a fine brush was able to put the ink exactly where it was needed without any runs or pooling, and once the model was "outlined", no cleanup was needed. It made this BorderHammer Technical project super-fun and is a good choice for anyone painting their builds in a comic book/graphic novel/cel-shaded style.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lovely ink, unlike other indian ink

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for modelmaking too!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good ink- almost perfectly waterproof
*by W***L on 20 June 2021*

I do a lot of linework illustrations and use a lot of coloured acrylic inkwashes on my work. So having an ink that is waterproof is pretty important to me. Even though it is not perfectly waterproof the amount of bleed off from the ink once it has settled is so minimal that its negligible. Its not frustrated me in the past like other inks so I'm happy to use it in my work. I'm also very happy with how smoothly it flows in my Pentel Fude brush pen. It is a very vibrant and strong black ink and I will definitely be buying more of this in future.
