🖤 Higgins Black Calligraphy Ink - 2.5 oz Bottle (Model 44314) Review

According to my experience, this product doesn't live up to its hype. The ink is too thick, leading to smudging and blotting. The only good point is that it's easy to transfer on paper. However, the poor quality of the ink won't let you create beautiful lettering. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone who is serious about calligraphy.

This ink is not black at all. It's more of a dark gray if you want it to be black and requires you to really layer it if you want it black, but it doesn't smell or smell funny and it's waterproof and cheap. I would recommend this for practical use or you can write normally. If you want a gray fill for artwork, this is a good ink for that (it's not ink either).

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…
