These incredible German-made sketchINK® inks are lightfast, permanent, waterproof, archival, and available in vibrant colours – Carmen is a bright shade of yellow.

Typically, pens with feeds like our Fountain Pens shy away from waterproof or pigmented inks as these often cause clogging. However, thanks to the nano pigments in sketchINK®, they have a wonderfully smooth flow, making them suitable for both calligraphy and fountain pens!

Please note that sketchINK® is not suitable for use with the Lumos, Lumos Mini or the Wren).

Each bottle holds 50ml of this lovely ink, to keep you writing, drawing or doodling for longer.

sketchINK® is compatible with all Tom’s Studio calligraphy pens (the Flourish, Carrot, and Bloom) and fountain pens (the Studio and Studio Pocket).

Please note that it is not suitable for use with the Lumos, Lumos Mini or the Wren).

This glorious ink can also be diluted with water, to create washes and to achieve greater coverage and shading.

We aim to process your order within 1-3 working days. Please note that this increases to 1-4 working days for orders that include any personalisation, such as engraving.

Absolutely amazing

My favourite ink. Hands down- I love the color, love the saturation, love the versatility. I use my lumps mini, the bullet journal tip, and this ink for my day planner. Even as a yellow it’s easy to read.
Adore!!!

Not quite yellow... but still beautiful!

Not sure if they've changed their formula since photos of the swatch were taken, but Carmen leans a lot more into a bright orange than a yellow. Don't get me wrong it's absolutely stunning and I love that it's permenant, but it's a bit of a shame that it's so orangey :( Photo is of a swatch with varying water levels, next to the 'Deep Black' ink from the Tom's Studio team.
