help Ziller Soot Black Ink FAQ
What is Ziller Soot Black Ink best used for?
Ziller Soot Black Ink is an exceptionally opaque, carbon-pigmented ink favored by pointed-pen calligraphers. It is ideal for creating high-contrast, crisp hairlines and dramatic broad strokes on wedding invitations and certificates.
Does Ziller Soot Black Ink contain shellac?
No, unlike many traditional opaque black inks, Ziller's formula is widely celebrated because it is shellac-free. This means it flows reliably through fine nibs and is much easier to clean out of dip pens than heavily bound alternatives.
Do I need to prep my nib when using Ziller Soot Black Ink?
Yes, as with most calligraphy inks, you should wipe the manufacturer's clear oil off new nibs using a bit of saliva or rubbing alcohol. Once the nib is properly prepped, Ziller ink will adhere perfectly and flow smoothly.
Is Ziller Soot Black Ink waterproof when it dries?
It is highly water-resistant once completely dry due to its heavy carbon pigment base. However, because it is water-based and shellac-free, it is always best to keep finished pieces away from excessive moisture or rain.
