I71. Kaimei Sumi Ink
I71. Kaimei Sumi Ink.
This hard to find Artist Grade Sumi is Gemma Black’s favorite ink. She enjoys its distinct and pleasant scent and notes that it will produce very fine hair lines. For pointed pen, she uses it straight from the bottle. For broad-edged work, she dilutes it 2/3s ink and 1/3 water. The one oz size comes in a wide mouth glass jar. Try this new Sumi calligraphy ink.
Choice of sizes:
1oz (30ml) $5.00
6oz (180ml) $10.95
60oz (1.8L) $75.00

I70. Moon Palace Sumi Ink
Moon Palace Sumi
The Ink is now in a bottle with a Gold Label
While the packaging is a bit different , this is the highly sought after and highly recommended Japanese Sumi Ink. For both broad edge and pointed pen work. Dries waterproof. A great calligraphy ink.
"I like Moon Palace better, but both Moon Palace and Best Bottle are beautiful inks. The Moon Palace has a slight sheen to it, which I like. Michael suggested this ink to me so please tell him I said "thank you". I just finished a job of 200 invitations with Moon Palace and the ink is beautiful. I did not dilute the ink.
A client just brought me invitations (slick paper) to address. This bride knew going in to this that I probably couldn't do pointed pen. However, for fun, I tried the Sumi inks and to my surprise they worked pretty darn good. I usually have to use a sharpie on slick envelopes, yikes!!!"

I43. Best Bottle Sumi Ink
Best Bottle Sumi Ink
This new (to Western calligraphers) Japanese
sumi ink is good both for beginners and for professional work. Smooth, rich black. Hard to find. One of the popular sumi inks for calligraphy. 6.75 oz, 200 ml bottle.
"The Best Bottle Sumi Ink truly is the best bottle. You can write three to four times longer with a pointed pen nib before the ink dries between the tines enough to alter the writing (this compared to Moon Palace)." C. M.
My test for any ink is to see if it will produce sharp thick and thin strokes at less than one sixteenth inch body height with a #6 Mitchell nib. Stick ink passes that test while most bottled inks don't, especially waterproof inks including sumi ones. The brown bottle sumi [Best Bottle] is non-waterproof, and I find it is better than others. –S.W.
