Hamburg Gum Arabic for Calligraphy Ink 20ml

Hamburg Gum Arabic is a traditional ink medium used by calligraphers and artists to improve the performance of calligraphy inks. Supplied in a 20ml bottle, it allows precise adjustment of ink viscosity, flow and adhesion when working with dip pens and brushes.

Improve Ink Flow & Control

Adding small amounts of gum arabic increases ink body and stability, helping ink adhere more effectively to paper while improving line sharpness and stroke consistency. This is particularly beneficial when using fine or flexible calligraphy nibs.

Hamburg Gum Arabic is especially useful when preparing traditional powdered inks such as Hamburg Mahogany Powder Ink and Hamburg Ebony Powder Ink, helping achieve smoother flow and improved writing performance.
