## 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.

Review: Horrible Experience - This ink is more like glue to my fountain pen—ruined it. And, the ink was still too pale to serve its purpose. What a waste! DO NOT USE IN FOUNTAIN PENS.
Review: This can’t be India ink - I have red and black which are Th perfect consistency. Purchased locally. This white ink dried to fast it’s watery and thin and it takes several dips to write a word. I have to apply multiple layers of the ink inorder for the white to look white. Expected a better quality product. I don’t blame BomBay they didn’t make it but their name is being used on a product they didn’t produce.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this cover black Sharpie pens when inking and make a mistake?**
A: I just experimented by drawing a line with a black Sharpie. I then went over the line with white India ink. The ink is opaque and covered the Sharpie line completely. Hope that helps.

**Q: Is this an alcohol ink?**
A: No. All Dr. Ph. Martin’s are water-based. However, you can add alcohol to Bombay to transform it into a product very similar to standard alcohol ink.

**Q: Does anyone know if this is considered archival quality ink?**
A: Yes Bombay ink is considered archival quality.

**Q: Will this in work with rubber stamps?**
A: Yes however it will require cleaning before it dries on the rubber stamp or after with a cleaner like rubbing alcohol.

### ⭐ This can’t be India ink

### ⭐ I threw it away....
*by J***D on July 6, 2020*

This white ink was awful. I use Brause calligraphy nibs, and the ink wouldn't flow at all. I ended up trying my white gouache, thinned with water, again. It flows beautifully, and my white lettering on dark paper is lovely once again.
