1 X Chinese Calligraphy Black Ink (yi de ge mo Zhi) 100G

I have just recently purchased my first caligraphy pen and realised it came without ink. I guess they all do... anyway, after looking for reasonably priced caligraphy ink, this one had the best reviews. It arrived quickly and was very reasonably priced. The only issue I have is filling my cartridge. ( my fault). This bottle has a cap with a small hole for squirting the ink out. The the cartridge doesn't fit. Simple enough, I squirter some into a 1 oz. Disposable cup and filled the cartridge from that. No problem! The ink itself works awesome in my pen. It does not drip , clump or clog and writes beautifully. I am very happy with this and will definitely purchase it again in the future. Sorry my pic is so blurred.

Love the price for the quality of this product. I am a calligrapher and watercolor artist and honestly finding good ink is a challenge. I specialize in Arabic calligraphy and the nature of the form of writing makes rather heavy use of ink- meaning that you often end up putting a thick layer on the paper. For this reason, I have to find ink that is not watered down as such inks start to bleed into the fibers of the paper. But this ink is perfect! On good paper, I can use it by itself without the fear of it bleeding through. On normal or thin paper I will mix it with one part gum arabic to 5 parts ink. The gum arabic thickens the ink and makes it more shiny. Good amount of ink in the bottle as well. Will definitely be trying the other colors soon!

I love being able to do my calligraphy and your ink is just right

Our calligraphy event is great success! The bottle can write many characters worth the value

Other reviewers have noted a peculiar smell with this ink but I have to say, while it does have a very mild "chemical" odor, the smell is faint (at least as nearly as I can tell) and isn't particularly offensive. It doesn't smell "gross" or anything. It's a generous supply of ink for the price and that nozzle cap thing is great for filling a small ink well right out of the bottle. You can also remove the entire red plastic cap if need be. It's a nice deep black and it's packaged attractively. No complaints. :-)

Originally for my Chinese calligraphy class, I had purchased a cheap calligraphy ink from a local Michael's. It was for Western style calligraphy and had not been nice, it was very thin and when dried was not black in color.THIS ink from the one I bought from Amazon was very thick and rich, so to speak. It coated my calligraphy brush very well and helped it hold the nice pointed shape. It did not dry quickly so whenever I paused, I didn't have to worry about the brush drying out. The ink also looked very appealing on paper, very dark and solid.

👌

This is a good ink, friend recommended it. The bottle is really small. I used to buy bottle twice as big from Houston China town for half the price.

Very good quality ink. It does have a strong smell, (all Japanese inks do) but it does fade quite quickly. This one glides on and a little goes a very long way. Will but again.

Diese Ink kenne ich schon als Kind, das ist immer noch die Beste was man finden kann.

Perfetto. Non avevo mai usato inchiostro giapponese per le mie calligrafie a pennello e devo riconoscere il salto di qualità. La carta di riso lo assorbe in modo differente ed inoltre ha un profumo inebriante. Consigliatissimo

Muy rápido el envío y muy buen producto

Great ink. Smells good tooA bit thick for copperplate. But feel free to dilute the ink with water n it works just fine
