New and improved! Inspired by the very best Japanese pigment inks, it’s waterproof*, lightfast, and beautifully intense.

Because this is a pigment-based ink, it behaves a little differently from dye-based fountain pen inks.
Whether you’re sketching fine linework, writing pages of notes, or layering watercolor washes over the top, this ink is designed to stay crisp and smudge-free.

Compatible with all Tom's Studio pens – The Lumos, Wren, Field Mouse and Fountain Pens. If you’re using the finest fineliner tips in the Lumos (0.4 and below), here are a few helpful pointers:
  • If you won’t be using your pen for more than a few days, remove the tip and reservoir, rinse thoroughly with water, and allow everything to dry completely before refilling.
  • Avoid storing your Lumos vertically (tip up). Ink can flow away from the nib, leaving it less saturated and more prone to drying out – even when capped.
  • If pigment ink dries inside a tip or reservoir, it can’t be revived due to the pigment particles. Simply replace the tip and reservoir and you’re back in business.
Whether you’re sketching fine linework, writing pages of notes, or layering watercolor washes over the top, this ink is designed to stay crisp and smudge-free.

*Waterproof? Almost. This ink is highly water-resistant once fully dry. It will hold beautifully under a light to moderate colour wash. Very heavy, very wet overwashes may cause slight movement, so we always recommend testing before committing final marks to the page.

Pigment Black dries a matte charcoal black. It's worth waiting a couple of hours before applying washes over the top of the ink to be sure that it is completely dry.

Be sure to cap your pen when not in use. Please do not store your fountain pen for long periods of time with this ink, as it may clog the feed. We recommend rinsing your tips out weekly.
