Calligraphy inks are typically pigmented, which means their color is derived from not dissolved dyes but from finely ground up solid matter, similar to paint. The inks are characterized by lightfastness, vividness and high quality. They are also compact so that they stay on paper and do not “run”. They are easily applied by pen, brush, steel brush, airbrush, they are free-flowing, and waterproof when dry.
Extra tip: Similar to oil and water, the particles settle over time so the inks need to be shaken. Besides having an outstanding result, you will also protect your fountain pen which will not clog up!
