## Description

Brand New

Review: Satisfied - Good quality and worth the money.
Review: GREAT trouble free ink for dip or Parallel Pen calligraphy! - This is my fourth bottle of Moon Palace ink. I fill my small container straight out of the bottle for my copperplate calligraphy, although I sometimes add a couple of drops of water if it thickens a bit while sitting open. It is a smooth, very black ink that writes beautifully with a dip pen. It will not destroy nibs like inks that contain a lot of shellac, and is easily washed away with water. This ink has a great consistency and clings to my pointed nibs so well that I do not even need to add gum arabic. It has an earthy, natural fragrance which I like the very much, although some reviewers object to it. I have recommended Moon Palace ink to others in my calligraphy classes and they love it too, although the teacher prefers gouache which is more expensive and has to be mixed to a perfect consistency with water and gum arabic. The size of this bottle is really generous, especially considering that it is so inexpensive! (Not for fountain pens and not waterproof.) My bottle's label was entirely in Japanese. It does not dry particularly fast, so I sometimes dry it with a hairdryer for a few seconds if I am working on a project. Moon Palace is great for practice on heavy premium 32 lb. printer paper which I buy in reams of 500 to print my guidelines on. I also use it in my Pilot Parallel Pen by filling empty cartridges or the entire handle.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I guess I am just a dummy, but how do you use this ink?**
A: Well there are several ways I think. I use it for calligraphy and own a dip pen for it. I know it's also used for sumi-e paintings using a brush, and for that it's sometimes mixed with water. Do not try putting this ink in a fountain pen or a brush with an internal reservoir because it will clog them up.

**Q: What color is this ink?**
A: Pure black!

**Q: can this be used for fountain pens?**
A: No, do not use this with fountain pens. It will clog them up.

**Q: Is this ink archival?**
A: If you can find someone who can read the bottle, the info might be there 😁  If you want archival quality for calligraphy, use artist quality gouache, dilute it to the right strength, and add a few drops of gum arabic. Hope this helps!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great for my beginner calligraphy!
*by M***T on August 21, 2018*

I've spent the past few beginning months using Dr Ph Martin's india ink for my calligraphy. After switching to this - the difference is HUGE! Generally I'd have to dip my pen about 3-4x per line of practice, and wipe my nib thoroughly after each line due to the (thickness/quick drying?) of the india ink. With this Sumi ink, I can complete almost an entire line without having to re-dip, and I don't have to wipe my nib after each row. I understand that india ink vs. Sumi ink is an apples to oranges comparison, but for practicing letter forms - this ink is perfect. Large quantity, cheap price, and smooth enough to not frustrate the noobs. Even more handy, you've got the no-drip nozzle cap which is awesome. The only possible bad thing I can see is the smell. You will either love it or hate it. At first whiff, I was mostly disgusted and thought it smelled like weird diaper funk. Don't ask me how, but now all I can smell when I write is an earthy wet dirt smell with a dash of eucalyptus oil. I actually find it pretty pleasant now!
