Pelikan Drawing Ink A Black

Product Review (submitted on 10 April 2015):

I use Pelikan "A" with dip pens, brushes, and airbrushes. The rich black pigment is consistently the darkest and most opaque I have ever used. The vehicle dries to a matte finish with no shellac reflections as happens with some other brands. For extra fine mapping or crow pen use I mix in a drop of ox gall due to the slightly higher viscosity of the ink straight out of the bottle. Whether for final artwork or for reproduction, Pelikan "A" is the best india ink I've used.
