What do you know about marbling ink, Japanese Suminagashi?
281835
There's a very nice little book called "Suminagashi: The Japanese Art of Marbling : A Practical Guide" by Anne Chambers and Akira Kurosaki that tells you pretty much everything you need to know about how to do it. The Innovation Marbling Kit contains inks. You'll need to experiment with papers to find the ones that take the ink impression off the water best, and it takes a little practice to float the ink, but it's a fun craft.

Dear RoxAnne, Thank you for your Amazon inquiry of Blick Art Materials. The Set B of 60 ShinHan Touch Twin Brush Marker set I have found the following information to help answer your questions: The ink is made from purified ethyl alcohol that is non-toxic and virtually odorless. An ergonomically designed body allows multiple grips, and the innovative, durable nib design ensures maximum firmness over time. If you need any further assistance, please let us know. Thank you, Karen S./Blick Art Materials

Soy ink is a kind of ink made from soybeans. As opposed to traditional petroleum-based ink, soy-based ink is more environmentally friendly.

Claims to be Japanese. I see no reason to suspect otherwise. It's a very nice piece!

First, I wouldn't buy a TWSBI again. Junk. Please read my review. I use Noodlers Ink, blue. Works great in all my other fountain pens.

Sorry to say Japanese, I can't understand it. But I've been able to figure most of it out and it's great, a must have for all collectors of the series and Yugi-Oh fans!

Hi, No, the red ink paste is not water based. Most likely the cinnabar is mixed with castor oil as a base.

I suppose you could mix it, to bring a UV glow to your writing. Noodler's also makes the White Whale ink. It's white and has the same glows-in-UV property as the Blue Ghost, but is explicitly made for mixing with other inks. This will let you lighten an ink to your taste, while also providing a UV glow, which might be handy to validate a signature.

The pilot iroshizuku series is probably one of the best inks I've found and is all I use now.

This ink is high depth black ink that also lends it self to shading. KURO SUMI Black will not fade or bleed out as other inks sometimes do. It is top of the line for black tattoo outline and lettering. I wont use any thing less, and that is what my customers expect.

It's made in Japan so the medium nib is a bit finer than, say, a German medium nib, but it's a gorgeous writer, starts every time with almost every ink I've put in it...Noodler's, Private Reserve, Parker. It also comes with a squeeze fill converter as well as a cartridge. I own two and will be buying more. They perform as well or better than pens costing three or four times the amount.

If you don't want that ink converter, then go and look at the ink called Jinhao. I refill my own to.

This is a medium to high grade ink for any type of pen with nibs. Stains the skin permanently so use an ink blotter. The colors are amazing and I can post a drawing when I get back from vacation if you want to see the vibrancy.

Noodlers is fountain pen ink, but so far, I've only tried one called bullet proof. I have it in 3 of my pens and have not had a problem. However, if you have very expensive pens, be sure to verify this for yourself in a cheaper pen. I have some terrific pens from China called the Hero - 8 horses and it was only about $7.00 free shipping. Anyway, Goulet Pens.com or something like that has everything you'd ever want to know about pens and inks if you are still in doubt. As far as the waterproof. I have to let my drawings dry really well before applying color because it does bleed. Sometimes for me, that's good because I also do ink washes and apply water on a brush right away to get that bleed. A lot of artists are recommending Noodlers Lexington Gray ink. I hope this helps.

Hi. I know. This pen make me frustrating every single day. I just put it in the garbage can. I bought new sailor fountain pen. sailor make great quality fountain pens. (expensive or chip It doesn't matter.) all sailor pens are great. I bought extra fine nib pen and medium pen. both are so good. I ordered Amazon and those were ship from Japan.

KuroSumi lists New York Tattoo supply as an authorized vendor. Sounds legit to me!

Yes, they are surprisingly bright. These Japanese pens are definitely more opaque than the ones you can buy in the US.
