De Atramentis Archive Ink 45ml

De Atramentis inks are exclusive handmade inks made in Germany.  This Archive ink is permanent and waterproof and is suitable for use in fountain pens, making it  perfect for sketching.  The De Atramentis Document colours and the Archive ink can be mixed together to create any number of waterproof colours and the Document Ink Thinner can be used to dilute the inks to further expand your colour pallete. 

Our ink testing was completed on Clairefontaine Triomphe paper with a TWSBI medium nib.  The ink was dry and smudge proof after 2 minutes on this paper, but please note that the drying time may vary on other papers especially if they have been sized.  The water test was completed once the ink was fully dry and showed no smudging or movement of the ink at all.

Availability
If an item is in stock, the words "In stock" will be shown. If an item is out of stock, the approximate number of days before we get another delivery will be shown instead.

Nib choices for fountain pens
If we show the pen with the default nib selection shown in stock it means we have stock of that pen. If you select another nib size and the website doesn't say "in stock" we can usually supply that pen immediately as we keep extensive supplies of nibs from all our manufacturers.
