Zig Manga Sumi Drawing Ink, 60 ml

I am a beginner @ Calligraphy and I Used this ink on 75gsm cheap paper -- with Oblique Pen holder n Zebra G nib -- it Does not spread at all. If ur in India -- best suggestion is go for this ink with NO second thought and the best Paper OVER all would be 100gsm : Bilt Royal executive Bond Paper. (( Parker ink not really for calligraphy n stuff -- but Parker ink spreads like crazy even on 100gsm coz its very think ink. -- but this Sumi ink of Kuretake does not )). I am really really really happy ..ahahaha... njoy guys.

There is nothing to dislike about this product. It works right on every kind of paper. The pigmentation, the thickness of ink is just perfect. The only thing which pinches you is the price of this product, but still worth it.

Got this last month and the ink is great. It dries really quick and doesn't bleed in any paper. Make sure you don't keep the lid open for long. It'll dry quick. Also wash your nibs after use or it's hard to remove the stain.

Nice product, especially for calligraphy beginner. Thickness of the ink is amazingly perfect & also dries very fast. It works very good with Automatic Calligraphy Pen.

Happy with the quality of the ink. Good results.

I am fairly new to these type of inks and a beginner in using nib pens for drawing. But until now this ink has nice round thickness to it and the colour black is also good. Edit: Here is an artwork I did using this ink, nib pen and brush only. Well for the whites I used gelly pens which is for an another review.

I love this ink! I love the finish. It is waterproof which makes it even better to use it with other media such as water colors and photo inks. It's a must have for people who love line work and hatching.

It said it would dry quick. Doesn't really.
