For a manga artist who carries their tools or works in a compact setup, this is the ink that completes the Tachikawa system. The wide-mouth bottle opening makes nib loading clean, and the ink dries fast enough that most artists can erase pencil guidelines without waiting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTechnical properties\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eJet Black dries matte rather than glossy — which is correct for manga linework that will be scanned, as matte surfaces produce less reflection and more consistent tonal values in reproduction. The formula is waterproof once dry and resists standard soft erasers applied over dried ink. It does not perform well as a brush fill ink for large areas — that use is better served by IC Type 2 or Nicker Ultimate Black. For dip pen linework it is clean, consistent, and predictable.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tachikawa Pen Co","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53295296774472,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/inkwellartsupplies.com\/products\/tachikawa-jet-black-ink-15ml-manga-drawing-ink","provider":"Inkwell Art Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
