Why choose Raven?

Raven is the obvious choice for signatures, forms and line drawings that must not run. In Raven, pigment particles sit on the surface of the paper rather than soaking in like dye, which helps the colour stay sharp and resist water once dry.

Good habits with Raven

Because Raven is a pigment ink, it rewards a little care: keep the pen in regular use, cap it when not writing and clean it with water every couple of weeks. In return, Raven gives you colour that resists water and fading.
