Why we love this ink: it's delightfully waterproof! I've never encountered a more waterproof ink, to be honest.

Ziller Soot Black is my go-to for projects like this watercolor map! I use Soot Black to write the calligraphy and make the illustrations first, then I paint over everything with watercolor. No smudging!

We only stock items in the TPK Supplies Shop that we love and use ourselves, and Ziller Soot Black ink is one of those supplies! It’s the most waterproof ink that I’ve ever come across, and that’s the reason I use it for all my projects that may come in contact with water. Here are some attributes of this ink:

It’s fantastic for projects that combine watercolor and calligraphy or illustration, like watercolor maps!
Since it’s totally waterproof, it’s ideal for creating envelope calligraphy in humid areas or places that tend to get a lot of rain.
This ink dries nice and matte, without any shine. Because of that, it tends to scan well.
