Review: Excellent Sumi Ink - I absolutely love this ink. I used it in my class with Connie Solera. I learned so much about this wonderful ink. I used a whole bottle but this time I ordered the big bottle. Worth every penny!! Great price. I really didn’t smell anything. It is very durable. It dried well. It’s smooth and very functional. Thanks for sharing a great work of art with us. I will continue to buy this.
Review: Great Calligraphy Ink! - Great ink! Dark and easy to work with. It flows easily and dries rather quickly. Easy to clean off of hands and nibs with soap and water. Windex will clean it off of nibs easily. Left handed users beware that it will smudge easily, especially if it is applied too thickly. Was highly recommended to me and I pass it along to you!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this ink work well on tracing paper?**
A: Depends on a number of things, including the quality tracing paper (quality vellum works fine) and the application of the ink (heavy brush app or a nib pen might not work so hot); I'd recommend just using a lightbox and a heavier stock, personally.

**Q: Has anyone used this ink for calligraphy (nibs C-3, C-5, etc.)?**
A: Yes, this ink can be used for calligraphy.

**Q: Is the neck opening of this bottle wide enough to get a calligraphy dip pen *with flange* in?**
A: If they haven't changed the design, absolutely.

**Q: Is an inkwell necessary.....can I dip straight into the ink bottle?**
A: I shake mine and dip, however when it gets low there are bits of coagulation that fell off the side of the bottle.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Calligraphy Ink!

Great ink! Dark and easy to work with. It flows easily and dries rather quickly. Easy to clean off of hands and nibs with soap and water. Windex will clean it off of nibs easily.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Ink
*by A***4 on June 28, 2025*

This ink is incredibly powerful. Dries to a shine and flows well from a nib or brush. Super intense pigment. I use it for everything from calligraphy to detailing on watercolors (no weird reactions with watercolors). You cannot go wrong with this ink. The bottle seals up tight and the lid is sculpted to double as a pen/brush holder. I used it for the calligraphy in the attached watercolor.
