Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Inks

Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Inks 30ml

Winsor & Newton Calligraphy Inks offer the widest colour range available for use with a Dip pen or Fountain pen.

The range consists of 18 colours, 14 vibrant colours covering the colour spectrum and 4 extra colours - Matt Black, White, Gold and Silver. All colours are available in 30ml bottles.

Brilliance of Colour - carefully chosen pigments ensure maximum brilliance of colour. Single pigments have been used wherever possible to make clean colour mixtures.

Maximum Versatility - 14 of the colours (blue capped bottles) are suitable for use with a dip pen, fountain pen, technical pen and airbrush. These colours are fully intermixable.
4 of the colours (red capped) are suitable for Dip pen and brush (including mixtures using these colours). These colours are opaque. Black and white are Matt.

Permanence - All colours have a permanence rating of AA or A.

Non Waterproof (improved flow) - The Inks are non waterproof ensuring they are non clogging and have good flow characteristics when used in a Fountain or Dip pen.

Brushes for use with Calligraphy Inks - All water colour brushes can be used with Calligraphy Inks.

Paper for Calligraphy Inks - For practice work with Calligraphy Inks, bank layout pads are recommended. (see pads section)) For finished pieces, any paper that will not feather, bleed, scratch or wrinkle is suitable. Smooth cartridge paper or hot pressed water colour paper (Arches HP) will allow a pen or brush to move evenly and smoothly over the surface with minimum breakage.

However, rough surface papers (Arches CP) such as cold press or medium watercolour paper will also give a broken effect and ragged edge to the pen or brush stroke which may be desired by some Calligraphers. AS draw and wash pads smooth or textured would also be suitable.
