Review on πŸ–€ Higgins Black Calligraphy Ink - 2.5 oz Bottle (Model 44314) by Jennifer Roberts

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Not suitable for calligraphy on vellum

I bought this ink for a calligraphy project on vellum. Unfortunately, I had a deadline and this project looked terrible with this mascara. Everything looked fine at first, but after a minute the ink spread on the parchment, making the inscription look dirty. Also, it's so thin that when dry, the calligraphy looked as if it had been done in a washing machine and the ink looked watered down. I've used speedball ink in the past with predictable results. Obviously, not all calligraphy inks are created equal. I do not recommend.

Pros
  • Flowing, fade resistant, pigment based
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Works as it should. Doesn't clog the pen points.
