Vibrant Inks with a Brilliant Finish

Sennelier Shellac-Based Inks offer intense color, exceptional flow, and a fast-drying formula that makes them a favorite among calligraphers, illustrators, and mixed media artists. Made with natural pigments suspended in a shellac base, these inks deliver rich, satin-to-brilliant finishes depending on application thickness—perfect for projects that demand both elegance and vibrancy.

Whether you're using a dip pen or brush, these inks provide smooth, consistent coverage and can be easily blended or thinned with a shellac-based reducer for a wide range of effects. Their quick-drying nature and water resistance make them ideal for detailed line work, expressive washes, and even experimental textile applications. For increased lightfastness, a coat of Krylon UV Spray Fixative helps protect and preserve your work over time.
