    Customer Questions & Answers

    • Question : How do you use this ink?
      Answer : There are multiple ways to use this ink. It can be used for calligraphy with a dip pen or for sumi-e paintings with a brush, sometimes mixed with water. Do not use it with a fountain pen or a brush with an internal reservoir, as it will clog them up.
    • Question : What color is this ink?
      Answer : The ink is pure black.
    • Question : Can this ink be used for fountain pens?
      Answer : No, do not use this ink with fountain pens as it will clog them up.
    • Question : Is this ink archival?
      Answer : The information regarding archival quality is not mentioned on the bottle. For calligraphy, to get archival quality use artist quality gouache, dilute it to the right strength, and add a few drops of gum arabic.
    • Question : Is this ink waterproof?
      Answer : Once the ink is dried, it is waterproof.
    • Question : What is the best solution to wash this ink off of the nib?
      Answer : A windex/water solution can be used to wash this ink off of the nib. If the ink is completely dried on, spraying it with windex and letting it soak for a minute helps to make the cleaning process easier.
    • Question : Does this ink need to be diluted?
      Answer : No, this ink does not need to be diluted when used with dip pen calligraphy. It can be poured directly from the bottle to smaller receptacles and used directly.
    • Question : I have a lot of fibers floating in the ink...Anyone else experience this?
      Answer : It could be a chemical reaction if the ink is old, or it could be filter material. You can filter your ink before using it or ask for a new bottle.
    • Question : Does this ink use vegetable- or animal-based oil?
      Answer : No, it is water-based.

    開明 SY 5067 Inks Editorial Review

    This ink is a popular choice for calligraphy and Chinese painting. It's pure black, water-based, and waterproof once dried. It's not for use with fountain pens but works well with dip pens and sumi-e brushes. The ink is opaque and can be used full-strength for painted backgrounds. It has an odor that some customers find offensive but others grew to appreciate. Some customers have experienced fibers floating in the ink, but they were able to continue using it or filter it out. The ink is fluid, doesn't skip, and is easy to clean off nibs. It's a great value and a good practice ink for beginners. Overall, customers are very pleased with the ink's quality and performance.
