Bistre Ink

Most inks use dyes as colorants, which makes them very thin and not very lightfast. We use pigments in a rich shellac base, which makes our inks uniquely lightfast and brilliant. They dry to a water-insoluble film, and can be diluted with water for water-color like effects, or Shellac Ink Diluter / Vehicle, for brilliant, glossy, transparent applications. Shake well before use. May be thinned with a small amount of demineralized water.
