Our reformulated inks now have better flow, less feathering and bleeding, and higher quality dyes. We have also minimized the number and quantity of additional chemicals added, and all our dyes and additives are approved for food and cosmetics.

This ink resembles the incredible web of the Golden Orb Spider. Golden orb webs are massive to behold, with a shimmering yellow colour. The silken fibers of these webs are so soft, yet so strong, that they are the only spider thread ever used to make textiles for humans. A single garment was made, stronger than Kevlar, yet softer than silk, from over a million collections of thread from Golden Orb weaving spiders. And not a single spider was hurt in its making. This ink shades incredibly well from the faintest yellow to almost orange, and has a high quality golden shimmer not previously used in ink, that creates a perfectly even distribution of shimmer throughout, while also holding well to the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003eInk Data and Recommendations\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p4\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eComing Soon\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Van Dieman's Ink","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40007805141034,"sku":"","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0091\/2198\/8667\/products\/GoldenOrbWeb_5a6ab6c5-862f-44a5-983e-48b4da60ef39.jpg?v=1649483141"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0091\/2198\/8667\/collections\/image.png?v=1684849939","url":"https:\/\/www.vandiemansink.com.au\/collections\/van-diemans-bottled-ink.oembed?page=11","provider":"Van Dieman's Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
