De Atramentis inks (top 7 sellers)
These are our most popular DA Document* inks:
-
Document Black: Our #1 seller, is a high flow, fast drying, waterproof and archival ink. It is a proper black, with no offensive smell. A joy for writing or sketching in mono.
-
Document Brown, Urban Grey, & Urban Sienna: Popular for sketching. Brown because it's not black, grey for concrete, and sienna for sandstone. Non-black colours work well with watercolour.
-
Document Blue: A reliable, everyday blue for handwriting. Looks professional and works on paper stocks that are slow drying (Rhodia) or feather easily (Field Notes).
-
Document Blue Grey: Sometimes stock is labelled fog grey, but more blue. Sits between Document Blue and Document Dark Blue.
-
Document Cyan, Fuchsia (Magenta), Yellow: Use these three with black to mix any CMYK colour.
-
Document Dark Red: Red pigment is more likely to clog a pen, so waterproof reds often look weak. Not this one!
-
Document Violet & Purple Violet: The violet is more blue leaning and purple violet is more purple. Both look great on cream toned paper.
