## Description

Made from highly opaque, carbon black pigment, Speedball Superblack India Ink offers excellent reproduction quality on absorbent surfaces with optimum lightfastness. Easily applied by brush, pen, steel brush or air brush. Free-flowing, non-clogging and waterproof.

Review: Pour spout! - I'm so happy it has a pour spout! Make sure you have cleaning fluid on hand, as things ink will stain something fierce even with just soap. Cleaning can be a chore if you're not familiar with the process. This ink is also highly water-resistant when dried, making it great for use in watercolour or printmaking. Remember that carbon-based ink is in a strange category of colours that can vary from very pale to very dark depending on if you wish to dilute it or not. Carbon ink will not turn blue or red when diluted like pigment-based black inks and paints will. SuperBlack is on the darker end of blacks, and dries to a nice, neutral, matte black. It's maybe the 2nd closest you can get to Culture Hustle's "Black 2.0" for the price. It's also made in the US, so that is kind of a bonus.
Review: Super pleased! - First time buying this ink. It is a great buy and really great quality. I am very pleased!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use it for a bar counter top?**
A: We purchased this product for the dye not the bottle. I think the over all dimensions and shape of the container would make it much too small to use it for a countertop, even on a small bar. I could visualize the potential to precariously balance a shot glass on the top of this bottle but I do believe that this would become increasingly difficult after the consumption of each shot of liquor. Now I may be interoperating your question incorrectly but a little part of me is curious if you were thinking about using this to color/or dye an existing bar top. Success would entirely depend on the material the bar top is made out of. Wood/stone/laminate and if it was sealed or raw. If this was the question you meant to ask I cant give you a good answer. One thing is for sure, this product (physically) definitely will not make a good bar top, countertops I feel, have the greatest potential to make the best bar top.

**Q: Can this be used with a pentel brush pen?**
A: No! you can not want use this ink on your pentel brush pen it will clog it and will be dificult to clean to the point you will have to buy a new one. this ink is for dip pens o brushes you will clean after use the ink.

**Q: can i use it for calligraphy by fourtain pens?**
A: No, it can clog a fountain pen.  It works very well with dip pens as long as you keep them clean.  I've used it diluted in waterbrush pens (for portable ink wash drawings) but haven't yet tried it straight for brush calligraphy.  (If you want a good waterproof black fountain pen ink try Noodler's Bulletproof!)

**Q: is  it non-toxic?**
A: Please read Product description more carefully. It says, non-toxic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Super Black Dining Table Tutorial
*by A***R on October 9, 2020*

What Amazon genius came up with “sheerness” as as an option? Seriously? Anyway, I used this super black India ink to make a super black dining table made from red Oak. Don’t even think about opening the bottle without gloves on. Also, anything the ink touches it will stain...for all eternity. If applying to wood, the secret is to continue wiping until it starts to haze over. The idea is to create a uniform thickness in the layer(s). If you allow the ink to pool or allow thicker layers to dry then it will blotch. These blotches will still be visible underneath a topcoat such as polyurethane. It would be visible when you see reflected light on the surface. It’s important to do only 1-2sf at a time because it flashes so quickly. Think shellac. If you have blotchy areas I suggest using a gray 3M pad and “sanding” it with the grain until it disappears. Worst case scenario, if you start seeing the wood through the ink, you have to reapply some ink to that area and just wipe until it hazes over and it will disappear. Once completely dry (in only a few minutes) lightly blend the new area in with the gray 3M pad and it blends nicely. Make sure the entire surface looks uniform after buffing with the same 3M pad then you can wipe it with a barely damp microfiber towel followed by a super dry microfiber towel. The damp microfiber towel will turn black quickly but since the finish is dry this actually washes out of the towel. The dry towel removes all of the fine debris from the wood grain. I used two coats of water-based matte polyurethane. I sprayed a light first coat followed by a very gentle 320 grit sanding, wiped with the microfiber towel then a second very wet coat. It leveled beautifully with no marks or fish eye or anything. I had planned on a third coat but after the second coat I was completely satisfied. Let the heavy coat dry overnight before you decide if you like it or not. The water-based-poly tends to look gray for a little while. With this larger bottle I was able to do two coats on the bottom and 2+ coats on the top of a 3 x 6 table and I still have an inch in the bottle. As a sidenote, I went to the dollar store and purchased one of those dish scrubbers that has the slightly abrasive oval pad with the hollow handle that you would normally fill with dish soap. Plus I bought a two pack refill of the scrubber ends. I would squirt 1-2 tablespoons into a plastic dish, soak the scrubby sponge and apply it to the wood in circular motions to fill all of the wood grain and then pulled the ink with the grain until it hazed over and looked uniform. Keep pulling out the darker areas as this indicates a thicker layer and then it will start to haze over. You have to move quickly or else it will dry. I can’t stress this enough. After a minute you will get the hang of it. Fun project!
