About the product

Speedball Super Black India Ink

Super Black India ink is a classic opaque black India ink for calligraphy and drawing with dip pens. It is recommended for use on absorbent surfaces such as paper and board. It is a free flowing, non-clogging ink that is permanent and water-resistant when dry.

This India ink delivers "solid blacks" at a competitive price, praised by customers for art projects and paintings. One customer noted it "rated A" for achieving a really black color. The ink performs well for various artistic applications. However, some concerns were raised about the plastic bottle design causing ink flakes and splatter issues during dipping.

  • For my purposes, this particular India ink rated 'A'.
  • I found this product to be excellent for doing my large animal paintings.
  • Solid blacks. A competitive price.

Solid Blacks & Reasonable Price….when available

An established brand I’ve used for decades. Solid blacks. A competitive price. The supply on the shelf can be a little frustrating as it can be unavailable for periods. I buy the 946ml bottle.

Can't wait to try it...

I love this ink. My only disappointment is that I had to order bamboo dip pens on Amazon because Opus didn't have any. I'm still waiting for them to arrive and can't wait to try them out with the ink..

I found this product to be excellent. I use it for doing my large animal paintings. The finished product looks like a sketch when finished.

Plastic bottle isn't great, but ink is nice

I was surprised that the bottle was plastic and not glass. I thought all little ink bottles were glass! I think due to the plastic bottle, there are always flakes of ink falling off the top of the bottle every time I open it. And also possibly due to the plastic bottle, every time I open it and dip my nib in for the first dip, ink sprays out. I think these two "negatives" are due to the plastic bottle rather than glass, as I've never had these things happen with glass ink bottles. The ink itself is wonderful, I just don't like the container for dipping nibs as I use this for dipping.
