## Description

About waterproof: The liquid ink is Chinese traditional ink, which specially for Chinese traditional artworks such as painting and calligraphy. It's waterproof surely, because traditional artworks used to be done WET mounting for stocking, and needs to color many times. The premise is: The ink must be COMPLETELY dry first. In Chinese paintings process, we usually use a hair drier. After drying the artwork with a hair drier, it's ok to wet or pomo or color again and again on the dry ink. Try to use a hair drier please? It's really a good tool in Chinese artwork process :) Happy creating!

Review: Ausgezeichnete Flüssigtinte - Die Tinte ist schnell geliefert worden und war gut verpackt. Je nach Anwendungsgebiet lässt sich die Flüssigtinte mit Wasser verdünnen. Leicht verdünnt ist die Tinte immer noch pechschwarz und lässt sich gut auftragen. Auch verschiedene Nuancen an Grautöne sind dadurch spielend leicht möglich. Ich finde den zweiteiligen Verschluss ebenfalls gut gelöst. Die Flüssigkeit lässt sich ohne groß kleckern herauströpfeln oder wenn man den ganzen Deckel entnimmt entleeren. Ich bin auf jeden Fall zufrieden und würde die Tinte wieder kaufen.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: My item came with an addition of a tiny jar of gooey black ink looking something. What is it?**
A: It's ink paste. Lquid ink is not easy to take along with especially by plane. But ink paste is ok to take by plane. Just adding water to mix with ink paste, you'll get liquid ink then. You can control ink thickness by yourself. Thickness depends on how much water you add.

**Q: Can this be used in a fountain pen? Thanks**
A: The short answer is no. Most sumi ink will clog up fountain pens although there are a few specialty pens and some special sumi inks that are being manufactured nowadays (personally I keep my inks separate) best bet for your fountain pen's health is not to use sumi ink. This ink is great for quill pens, dip pens and of course brush painting.

**Q: Is this mz001 hmayart black sumi liquid ink thick enough to use for thin calligraphy paper, please?**
A: Sure！This ink is specially for Chinese calligraphy and Chinese painting on thin xuan paper such as calligraphy paper and painting paper.

**Q: Does this ink contain Shellac? I am looking for one that does?**
A: Yes. Chinese traditional ink includes some different kinds of glue to keep and lock in ink. White Shellac is one of them.
