Pebeo - Graphic India Ink

Graphic India Ink

Achieve deep black illustrations that clean up easily with soap and water

Soap and water cleanup transforms India ink from permanent worry into practical tool. Pebeo's Graphic formulation maintains rich opacity and deep black pigmentation while remaining water-soluble during application and cleanup, rinse brushes and pens immediately after use without harsh solvents or dedicated cleaners.

The satin finish splits the difference between flat matte and glossy sheen, providing visual interest without overwhelming your linework or creating distracting reflections under gallery lighting. Opaque coverage means clean blacks over pencil sketches or light-colored papers without requiring multiple passes or building up layers. The ink flows smoothly through technical pens and brushes alike, handling everything from precise architectural details to expressive brush calligraphy.

Paper, cardstock, and cardboard all accept this ink readily, making it suitable for finished illustrations, preliminary studies, or experimental work where you want professional results without committing to permanent materials. The formulation dries to a water-resistant finish, so completed pieces won't smudge under normal handling or light moisture exposure, though extended water contact will reactivate the ink.
