Connoisseurs! And ink connoisseurs have many things in common with discerning oenologists. As with wine-sampling sessions, in a certain sense the creation of a new ink or colour is a special moment when the ink is "tasted", submitted to different tests and assessed for quality like a vintage wine. One talks about consistency, clearness, lighfastness, saturation, nuance, tones, colours and viscosity. One talks about the combination between ink and paper, and ink and nibs. As you can notice ink is much more than a just a colour, it makes a world of difference.

Graf von Faber-Castell has released 6 new coloured inks in a beautiful 75 ml glass bottle with a choice of clear cobalt blue, sensual garnet red, soft moss green, hazelnut brown, pure stone grey and intense carbon black. The ultimate accessory to accompany the Graf von Faber-Castell writing instruments. Available now in the Boutique.
