Product Details and Overview:

Ayan Lamp-Black Ink (Black Soot Ink) is specially formulated to meet the needs of today's artists while staying faithful to traditional formulas.

• Flawless Flow: Thanks to its ideal consistency — neither too watery nor too thick — it holds on the reed pen or brush tip and transfers to the paper in a controlled way. It lets you draw uninterrupted lines and outlines. If desired, it can be thinned with water and adjusted to personal preference.
• Deep Blackness (Outline Quality): With its "Black Soot Ink" character it provides a fully opaque, matte, saturated blackness. It gives perfect results in the outlines drawn to make patterns stand out in illumination and miniature.
• Easy Correction: By the nature of traditional lamp-black ink, it lends itself to correcting mistakes made on sized (ahar) papers.
• Practical Use: Thanks to its special glass bottle and integrated dropper, you can easily add as much ink as you need to your inkwell without spilling or wasting it.

• The Art of Calligraphy: Use with a reed pen in all script styles such as Thuluth, Naskh, Ta'liq and Riqa.
