Write and Draw Ink - Octopus Fluids
The special feature of the 38 colours of water-based Write & Draw writing and drawing inks is that they are pigmented. In addition, they dry waterproof and smudge-proof. The inks meet the requirements of a document-fast ink and are particularly lightfast thanks to their pigments. This is a really important aspect for artists, as dye-based fountain pen inks or paints fade quickly.
The inks are also mostly highlighter resistant, depending on the highlighter and the application. The writing may smear slightly if applied several times. The colour can be intensified by applying several coats after drying.
Thinning with water is also possible, but is only recommended to a small extent and only for colouring (use with a brush). Diluting with water will impair the writing properties and water resistance.
Areas of application:
- Writing
- Drawing / Sketching
- Handlettering
- Colouring
- Watercolour painting
- Marking
- Mixed media
- Calligraphy
- Etc.
Tools and equipment:
- Brush

- Glass pen
- Fountain pen
- Pump marker
- Etc.
Colour range:
The colour palette comprises 38 shades: some very transparent and light pastel shades and some very colourful intensive colours, plus a deep black and an opaque white. Those who work with the colour wheel will notice that the Write & Draw spectrum, with intermediate shades, is arranged relatively evenly around it.
When filling in the fountain pen, a few things should also be observed:
- Shake the jar well before use and use an (adjustable/rotatable) ink converter.
- Use for 2 to 3 hours without loss of intensity
- Clean the fountain pen immediately after use
Cleaning and care:
The water resistance of the Write & Draw Inks is created with the help of a cross-linking binder, so we recommend cleaning the writing instrument directly afterwards. For drawing, we recommend a smooth, wipeable base under the painting surface, which can be cleaned with isopropanol/ethanol or our special cleaner after the work is done.
