Higgins Black India Ink
Higgins Black India Ink is the first ink Higgins produced in 1880. Micro-pulverized black carbon is suspended in a shellac solution to create a deep charcoal pigmented drawing ink. Reknown for its rich color and fluid consistency, Higgins India Ink has been a favorite among artists, calligraphers, and illustrators for over 140 years. Artists depend on Higgins India Ink for its reliable ability to make consistent bold and expressive brush strokes and delicate pen work. Celebrated not only for its permanence and waterproof qualities but also for its ability to produce a full spectrum of shades, from light to dark for high-contrast work, depending on dilution.
