Review: My go to ink - I've been using this exact ink for my work for over 10 years now and it is my favorite ink to use. It's smooth, thick, dark, waterproof once dry, and fantastic for traditional dip pen nibs. I go through a lot of ink, so the price is right in the affordable zone too. I've tried other inks out there and honestly I just keep coming back to this one. For those who are not used to India ink, I will let you know that this ink has a glare once dried, so photographing it can be a bit difficult depending on what lighting you have available. Review: Good ink - Just started experimenting with scrimshaw. Seems like a good ink to me. ## Features - Bombay Black in a 1.0 oz glass bottle with dropper - Vibrant India inks made from the finest ground pigments - Lightfast, permanent, and waterproof when dry - 24 unique colors available across two different sets - Made in the USA ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0026I10AI | | Best Sellers Rank | #11,643 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #16 in Drawing Inks | | Brand | Dr. Ph.

Martin's Bombay India Inks are designed for fine art use on paper, canvas, and other associated mediums. They are not designed for tattooing or use in dermal or subdermal applications. Please visit your local tattoo shop for advice on supplies and application of safe tattoo practices. **Q: What is your favorite dip pen nib for this ink? My blue pumpkin nib hates it - either dumping too much, or railroading, with very little in between.** A: Hi. Would suggest perhaps one of the speedball sets, has dip pen holder and selection of nibs. With Kind Regards Sue McGarrigle The Society for All Artists **Q: Can it be used for a quill?** A: Yes, although you may want to purchase a smaller well/bottle to keep the rest of the quill clean and to keep your ink from drying out. They are about $1 on Amazon. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My go to ink *by L***T on December 14, 2025* I've been using this exact ink for my work for over 10 years now and it is my favorite ink to use. It's smooth, thick, dark, waterproof once dry, and fantastic for traditional dip pen nibs. I go through a lot of ink, so the price is right in the affordable zone too.

Seems like a good ink to me. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliantly Black *by E***B on August 6, 2016* I ADORE Dr. Ph. Martin's inks. The colors are true to how they appear in the bottle (once any sediment has been properly shaken up and suspended), truly waterproof, no fading. The ink doesn't run and bleed everywhere, it works with every nib I've tried (quite a range, every modern leonardt, almost every modern speedball, several others), and almost every paper (anything your nib scratches to bits is obviously out of the question). It is a thicker ink than many others you might find--it flows beautifully, smooth without breaks, but you don't want to, say, leave it in a roundhand nib with a reservoir untouched for ten minutes. It is ink. It will dry. But that just leads me to another plus--it's easy to clean out. Once dry it flakes off nibs at the touch of fingernail, not counting unfortunate grooves. It responds well to nib cleaning solution, abd of course when wet (again, not counting grooves where any ink would get stuck) it wipes right off with paper. I've also found that it come out of my scrap cloth with little effort, but don't go spilling it on your carpet or favorite white shirt and expect it to come out. I just mean that the scrap I use for cleaning isn't darkly or noticeably stained from these. They also are wonderful in painting, and again waterproof, so you can do things like soaking a drawing in tea to make it appear aged without worrying about losing the drawing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Dr. Ph.
