Higgins Eternal Ink originates from the 1880s. As a timeless, archival-quality ink, it’s designed for those who demand the highest standards in their writing and artistic endeavors. This rich, jet-black color flows smoothly and consistently, offering a flawless experience for calligraphers and writers alike.
Its deep pigmentation ensures crisp, permanent lines that won’t fade over time or with exposure to sunlight. The ink dries quickly, reducing the risk of smudging. Its resistance to water level makes it less suitable for multi-media works and should be used as a top layer when used with colored ink, watercolor, alcohol markers, and other fine art materials. Unlike Black Magic, Eternal Ink remains somewhat water soluble, even with prolonged dry time.
