Pigment-rich, waterproof*, and lightfast – what’s not to love?

Great news: my amazing pigment-based waterproof ink works perfectly in a fountain pen as well as the Lumos. This means UV rays don’t stand a chance; nothing is being dulled here! You can confidently lay watercolours or other inks on top without fear of bleeding.

Made in the UK, this ink rivals the finest American, Japanese, and German equivalents.

*Waterproof? Well, almost. Our ink is highly water-resistant, meaning it’ll stay true under a colour wash – provided you’ve given it time to fully dry. But if you go in heavy with a very wet overwash, you might notice some smudging. Unlike true waterproof inks (which often contain plastic binders), we’ve formulated this one to work beautifully with the Lumos – balancing flow, performance, and durability.

A brilliant new player

There are several black pigment inks available and all have their niche. This one is dryer than most, extremely waterproof and because it dries quite quickly forms pleasing washes on paper. You must carefully cap the pen but it is NOT like some iron gall inks which clog. Overall it is well behaved and survives dilution well. It is not as expensive as some. A firm contender.

The ink is a deep black that has held fast under my water color washes. I’ve let it sit for a few minutes and have found no bleeding or smearing! I’m thrilled to have a reliable ink to use in my new luminos pen as I dive deep into the urban sketching world!
