DELETER's Manga ink BLACK 2 is a water-based, very dark black ink for dip pen and brush. This deep black ink is perfect for 'Beta Shading' (blacking out). This comic ink is resistant to alcohol-based markers and works excellent with DELETER's NEOPIKO-2. High quality drawing ink dries quickly with matte finish and gives a rich dimension to your artwork and illustration. Very dark, solid black ink easily covers over blue pencil draft lines. It's also great for digital coloring as it scans the black lines very cleanly so you can save on editing time. Shake well before use, and clean your nib pens and brushes after each use. Made in Japan.
