Product Description

Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India inks offer powerful color in a convenient dropper-stopper glass bottle. These highly pigmented India inks not only remain lightfast and permanent, but are also totally waterproof when dry. They adhere to nearly all surfaces and are non-clogging when used in pens. Inks can be diluted with water and used with brushes in traditional watercolor techniques or in dip pens, technical drawing pens, and airbrushes. All colors are brilliant and transparent, except black and white, which are opaque and have excellent covering power. Each set includes 12 different colors in 1.0 oz (30 ml) glass bottles with droppers and a custom mixing palette. Available in 24 colors.

It's a Tiny Bottle of Ink

The quality of ink is really good. I used it for my calligraphy and art, but the quantity of ink is very small compared to what others are selling.

I use this ink for fishing rod labeling. Works well on lighter colored rods. Does not bleed when finish is applied.

Only truly permanent ink I’ve found

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on June 19, 2022

This is a dark black ink. It is truly permanent and smear-proof. Also, it does not show through to the back of the page. It is a great shade of black.

Not waterproof on clothing

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 13, 2022

Verified Purchase

I dyed a large portion of my hoodie with half of a vile of this ink. Once dry, the ink looks like it bonded with the fabric pretty well and wasn't going to go anywhere, which is great.

Loan and behold when I washed it two weeks later, every bit of ink ran out. Every last bit. It looked like Venom was running down my drains. I had to strain the hoodie a couple of time to get the ink out. I'm not sure if dying cotton was intended for this product but this definitely does NOT dye 100% cotton fabric. In my case a hoodie.

Brilliantly Black

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on August 6, 2016

Verified Purchase

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.

Non clogging in fountain pens

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on July 29, 2020

Verified Purchase

I did not used it with water, i only used it in my fountain pen from faber castell, and everything seems fine. Ink dries very quickly on the paper, black is very very very opaque, for that price its really really worth it. I have not noticed any clogging, so its really good! But I have bad news for people who wanted to use this ink with alcohol markers - alcohol markers are smudging the ink. So you have to use the ink on top of a marker you cant use it as linework. But it works absolutely great with watercolours and gouache so at least that!

Good stuff for airbrushes!

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on June 13, 2020

Verified Purchase

I do airbrush paintings and had previously used gouache paint, which is quite thick and requires the addition of some water to dilute it enough to not block the tiny nozzle in the airbrush. This ink however can just be used "as is" and being a fairly thin liquid works perfectly when undiluted in a .15mm airbrush. (teeny weeny nozzle :-). I bought black just to try it, but will now probably get loads of other colours... oh deep joy!

Great quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on November 28, 2018

Verified Purchase

I have not bought this for drawing, but for fixing imperfections on photographic lenses and their barrels to amend flare issues. It is very dark and absorbs light hitting on it, great to accompany flocking material or for reaching areas where flocking material cannot be installed. It applies easily and can be removed with ethyl alcohol. My only small issue is that it is not 100% water resistant on lenses - but anyway it is not a product made for such usage.
