Deep black (油烟墨 Youyan Mo oil soot)

Premium black China inksticks are made from oil soot, as may also be known in English as lampblack.
Oil soot black inks are recommended for both calligraphy and painting. The type of black is deep, sophisticated, bright while not overwhelming.  All types of oil soot inksticks are made with very similar raw materials. High grade inks may have added aromatic oils such as musk and borneol (widely used in Chinese medicine) or gold leaf.  For more glossy versions see also the Super Glossy black (Tung, Turpentine) range.
