Review: The calligrapher's ink - This is THE ink for your dip pen based on 45 years of personal use. It can also be used on a brush. It is waterbased-permanant. Gum arabic can be added to thicken small batches in an inkwell, and water to dilute/lighten it. Care must be used in selecting paper and envelopes as some fibers may tend to bleed. This is not the ink's fault.
Review: Proper ink! - Vibrant and nice stay

Vibrant and nice stay

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good ink but not very dark
*by C***M on March 30, 2024*

This Higgins Eternal ink works best with dip pens. The ink just isn't dark enough for me. Compared to my other fountain pen inks this one looks watered down and is not very dark.
