Pelikan 301010 drawing ink black 30 ml

Unlike ordinary bottled inks that fade or feather on quality paper, the Pelikan 301010 is a pigment-based India ink formulated for technical drawing, calligraphy, and airbrush work. Its high carbon black content delivers deep, opaque lines with a matte finish, while the waterproof, lightfast formula ensures your work remains crisp and reproducible for years. The 30 ml glass bottle is compact yet generous, and the ink flows smoothly from dip pens, ruling pens, and airbrushes without clogging.

Highlights

• Pigment-based India ink with carbon black for maximum opacity and covering power
• Waterproof and lightfast when dry – ideal for archival and reproduction purposes
• Fast drying, matte finish on paper, cardboard, and tracing paper
• Not suitable for fountain pens – designed for dip pens, technical pens, and airbrush
• Made in Germany with consistent quality and smooth flow

In daily use

Shake the bottle gently before each use to disperse the pigment evenly. Load your dip pen, ruling pen, or airbrush and work on a clean, dry surface. The ink dries quickly to a flat, non-reflective black that resists smudging once cured. Clean tools with water immediately after use; dried ink can be removed with a suitable solvent. Because it is waterproof, you can apply watercolour washes over the dried lines without bleeding. The 30 ml volume is enough for dozens of drawings or lettering projects, and the glass bottle preserves the ink’s consistency over time.
