Selected User Reviews For Historic Iron Gall Black Ink for dip pen, 1 oz
Ink is incredible. I've been using fountain pens since 1986, and I just got a dip pen a few weeks ago. I don't do calligraphy, and this is the first and only iron gall ink I've ever used. It is superior in quality to all of my fountain pen inks. I've never seen such a deep black color before - On paper, it appears to be black soot! The ink appears grey and watery at first, but it eventually turns soot-black. after 3 minutes, it turns black The time is 4 minutes. My $10 dip pen writes better than all of my fountain pens, which is hard to believe. My dip pen is used to take notes at home as well as write letters and thank you cards. I suppose I'm addicted to dip pens now, and I'm kicking myself for not using them sooner.
In November of 2015, I purchased this item. I don't always use it, but I've been getting a lot of spiritual requests lately, and most of them involve using real vellum calf skin. I draw out my art design after the calf skin has been fully prepared. I've switched to a non-toxic gesso. I got my fancy real 24k gold from Wehrung and used either instacoil or Jerry Tressler's raised guilding size method. Billmeier is a German architect and designer. which is a company based in the United States that has been in operation for longer than I have. The most nerve-wracking moment occurs after all the gold and fancy painting. That's all there is to it when it comes to scripting. I work with pre-made templates. cut/pre- johnnealbooks johnnealbooks johnnealbooks johnnealbooks johnnealbooks Then put this amazing ink to work on some paper. I recall being concerned and constantly practicing with the quill and ink on various papers. If it weren't for this ink, I truly believe that. Some customers want a rustic look, and my work would not fit that description. They want it to have an antique appearance to it. Some are simple names, while others are passages from the newspaper that should be passed down. It was simply done in a more opulent manner. I mostly work with 5x7 (calf skin is expensive to buy but even more difficult to make). If I can find some pictures, I'll post them. They're usually on an SD card that came with my camera. Any dip pen artist, calligrapher, or restorer, on the other hand. I strongly advise you to experiment with this ink.
The color of this ink appears to be blue. The color is black in the bottle, gray when applied, and black when dry. It's thin enough, though, to allow for some excellent line width distinctions. The only strange thing about it is that it has a worcestershire sauce-like aroma!.
This ink has a nice consistency to it. It's a little thinner than I expected (this is my first time using iron gall ink), but it's very easy to work with and produces a better result than I anticipated.
In comparison to regular ink, I never expected it to look so good. I've used a lot of Sumi-e inks and other artist inks in the past. This stuff dries to a magical level of black, but it's not e ink. I'll try to remember to take pictures of it once I've finished working with it.
Amazingly black traditional oak gall ink, just like William B. Washington used to sign the Declaration of Independence. Travis was the one who penned the famous letter from the Alamo. This stuff leaves a great black mark on paper, and I'm overjoyed to find it for sale, especially since it's made about as far as I can throw a football from our log cabin. May the sun rise gently on the creator of this wonderful old recipe ink, and may he have many days, few troubles, and a happy life. Thank you very much!.
For your reproduction colonial forms and letters, an original recipe creates superior writing ink. I'm not going to buy this ink from anyone else.
This ink quickly became my favorite for small to tiny lettering when I first started doing dip pen calligraphy. It's thin and fluid, goes on gray, and dries to a rich, sharp black. The results are lovely, with lovely line contrast and hairlike upstrokes.
