all products of the drawing & lettering lines(Super Pigmented Acrylic Drawing and Calligraphy Ink, Nibs, Pen Cleaner, Pen Holders -they have an oblique pen nib holder and offer also calligraphy products for left-handed people and a cartooning pen set the Speedball Textbook, Elegant Writer, Calligraphy Fountain Pens and ink cartridges).Here is the up-to-date list of vegan-friendly Speedball products: They checked my list, and the information about all the other products is still valid. The Super Black India Ink is unfortunately not vegan, it contains shellac. maybe someone can think of a better way to seal the container? In my opinion, Speedball should have included a separate gasket in the lid to ensure a tight seal.Ī Good Quick-drying Black Ink, Maybe Too Fast?Speedball has gotten back to me. I like that it flows freely and I can get incredibly thin lines, but I'd recommend with my notes from above. I'm not feeble but it is VERY difficult to open the container after a few days of inactivity, adding to the fact that you end up with ink on your hands. Yes it seals, but it also glues the lid to the bottle. You have to tear off the seal and I suspect, keep it as a gasket for the lid, however, mine tore, so I tossed it, leaving only the plastic lid. The ink comes sealed with a paper seal inside a plastic lid, similar to most bottled medications.
The second loss of a half star came with the lid of the container. Not even trying to get it flowing on a scrap piece of paper would work. Clean the nib, re-dip and continue was the only solution I could find. When drawing with a fine nib pen, pausing to ponder your next line or even to answer someone's yes or now question causes the ink to stop flowing. the cupcake was inked with Speedball Super-black and the Avocado with Liquitex Professional Acrylic Inkīoth deliver a nice line and the Speedball black seems to dry a little faster than the Liquitex, however, therein lies the problem, and hence the loss of a half star in my rating. It has a wide base and narrower opening, so clumsy me is less likely to accidentally knock it over than the Liquitex.īoth inks deliver a true black, as you can seen in my photos for comparison. I saw this Speedball product that is also a Carbon Black so I thought I'd try in and compare the two.įirst off, I like the shape of the container. The teacher recommended any ink that had "Carbon Black" in it, and specifically Liquitex Acrylic Carbon Black. I bought this ink when I started an online course for drawing subjects in Ink.
