Our Range of Indian, Fountain and Calligraphy Inks
We offer one of New Zealand’s most varied selections of writing and artist inks. You’ll find:
- Fountain pen ink: From Ferris Wheel Press, Lamy, Octopus Fluids and Graf von Faber-Castell, you'll find everything from classic blacks and office-friendly blues to beautifully collectable shades that make writing feel a little more special.
- Indian ink: Trusted products from Speedball, Winsor & Newton, Dr Ph. Martin’s and Kuretake. These inks deliver strong, opaque blacks suited to illustration, outlining, lettering and technical work.
- Acrylic ink: A broad palette of Liquitex acrylic inks - highly fluid, richly pigmented paints with an ink-like consistency
- Drawing & Calligraphy Inks: A versatile range designed for expressive linework, detailed drawings, and beautiful calligraphy, offering rich colours, smooth flow, and excellent control.
- Speciality Artist Ink & Accessories: Shimmer inks, highlighters, resin inks, alcohol inks, cleaning solutions, and inkwells from makers we love.
