Description of πŸ–ŒοΈ Walnut Ink Crystals by Tsukineko: 2 Ounces/Jar - High-Quality Crafting Essential

Just like walnut ink but in dry crystal form. You choose the shade you want by how much water you mix in. Mix 1 teaspoon of crystals with 1/2 cup of hot water. Add more or less water for the shade you want. Contains 2 ounces of Walnut Ink crystals.

This is the best product I have found for tea stained paper.

This is the best product I have found for "tea stains" on paper and fabric (and on my hands). The color is exactly what I was looking for. Other products I've used have given the paper either a slightly orange or purple tint. This product does neither, and a little goes a long way.

Pros
  • Best
Cons
  • Ugly Packaging

The bottle came not at all like the photo in the advert. It contains walnut crystals but is a trademarked image. The product itself works well but is obviously very thin. With the dip pen stylus, immersion is constant. I ordered some gum arabic to see if that would help. It's amazing that you can customize your ink by adding more or using less. I mixed some nice shades of brown.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • There are new competitors

"Tsukineko" appears to be a brand of "IMAGINE Crafts" or "IMAGINE Crafts" products with a white "Tsukineko" to be label. In any case, the crystals I received are working as expected. The recommended ratio is 1 teaspoon to 1/2 cup of warm water, but you can tell by eye. Too dark? Add more water. Too easy? Add more crystals. No warm water? Add/mix and wait 20-30 minutes. If you need writing paper look for Inkjet Premium32, 32lb, 100 Bright - comes in packs of 500 sheets…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
