How to use

Shake gently before use if the pigment has settled. For line work, load a dip pen or brush and test on scrap paper to check flow and tone. For washes, dilute the ink with distilled water to the desired intensity and apply in layers, allowing each layer to dry. Rinse tools promptly after use to avoid pigment build-up. Use on suitable paper designed for ink to prevent feathering and excessive bleed-through.

Usage recommendations

Use with nib holders, brushes or compatible technical pens and pair with heavyweight, ink-compatible paper. Store the bottle upright, capped and away from direct sunlight to maintain pigment stability. When combining with other media, test adhesion and lightfastness on a sample first.
