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) $15.95
60oz (1.8L) $75.00
