1. Pigmentation and Color Intensity

One of the main advantages of this ink is its high pigment concentration. Unlike cheaper alternatives, this red ink maintains its intensity even after drying completely:

• Rich Red: The color is bright and clearly visible on both drawing paper and tracing paper.

2. Versatility and Application

Although the name specifies drafting, this product is much more versatile:

• Technical Drafting: Ideal for graphs, diagrams, and accents in drawings.
• Calligraphy: Perfectly suited for nib pens, allowing for both fine and thick lines.
• Illustration: Artists value this ink for its layering capabilities and water-mixability for lighter tones.

3. Ergonomic Packaging

The 20 ml bottle is designed for practical use. The plastic body ensures safety—it won't break if accidentally dropped, and the airtight cap prevents the ink from drying out prematurely. The small capacity is convenient for carrying to lectures or work.
