Speedball - Super Black India Ink Pen Set

Super Black India Ink Pen Set

Draw intricate details with crow quill precision and deep black ink

Crow quill nibs demand ink that flows without flooding, maintains intensity through the finest lines, and dries permanent. Speedball's Super Black India Ink delivers exactly that performance. Dense carbon pigment suspension creates opaque lines that won't fade or turn muddy over time, while carefully balanced viscosity feeds smoothly through delicate nibs without clogging or feathering on quality papers.

This starter set pairs that proven ink with genuine crow quill components: a classic red No. 102 holder and matching nib known for extreme flexibility and hairline capability. The combination handles everything from botanical illustration's whisper-thin stems to dramatic calligraphic swells. Shellac-based formulation dries waterproof, allowing ink washes or watercolor layering over finished linework without reactivation.

The 12ml bottle provides substantial working volume for a compact set, enough for dozens of drawings while maintaining portability. Whether you're exploring traditional pen and ink techniques for the first time or need reliable travel materials, this set assembles the fundamentals without excess. Just add paper and start drawing.
