Dr. Ph. Martins Bombay India Inks are highly-pigmented, jewel-like colors that offer watercolor qualities while remaining lightfast and waterproof when dry. Bombay inks are non-clogging and flow freely from brushes, technical pens, dip pens, or airbrushes. All colors are semi-transparent except black and white; these two colors are extremely opaque and have excellent covering power. Bombay india inks are excellent for layering and adhere to almost any surface, including paper, wood, vinyl, plastic, and more.
Non-toxic. 1 oz bottles. Colors below are approximate but are not exact matches to the true ink colors.

I love this India ink!
This is one of my favorite inks. It's lightfast, lays down smoothly and can be used with a dip pen or a brush without issue. I prefer pigment based inks instead of dye based inks so the Bombay line is my go to. Just be aware that the white ink is more opaque so if you mix white into other Bombay colors you will get a slightly opaque mix. Also, I would recommend giving the bottle a few gentle shakes prior to using since the pigment likes to drop to the bottom. But don't shake too hard or the ink will be full of bubbles.

Not what I think of as Sepia
Color is muddy with green/grey undertones. Quite a glossy finish when dry. Walnut ink is far more beautiful, gives better hairlines, and better variation in color.
