Calligraphy Inks

Inks

Calligraphy inks come in a wider range than most people expect, from dependable everyday blacks to iron gall, sumi, coloured and metallic inks, spanning more than ten colour groups.

You can filter by the characteristics that matter in practice - water resistance, and whether an ink is pigmented or dye based - to narrow things down to what suits your work. If you are not sure where to start, our guide to choosing the best ink for calligraphy talks it through.
