J. Herbin Inks and Sealing Wax: J. Herbin created "The Jewel of Inks" at his shop on the Rue des Fosses Saint-Germain in Paris in 1700. French school children since the age of Napoleon have used Herbin inks, and Herbin's French Violet is the signature color of handwritten French documents. The Art Box carries a variety of Herbin inks including the special Invisible Ink, Opaque White, Gold and Silver, and the "D" inks, which are pH neutral, lightfast and waterproof. (The "D" refers to the old French unit of measure, "la Demi Courtine".) Each elegantly labeled bottle has an integrated pen rest. The "D" inks are also available in cartridges to fit your favorite pen. We also carry the Herbin Precious Inks, naturally scented with Mint, Lavender, Vervaine, Rose, and Violet. Because of their natural pigmentation, these inks work beautifully with nibs and glass pens, but are not recommended for fountain pen use. Herbin also makes a nice line of traditional and new style sealing wax, the latter is unlikely to break in the mail since it is more flexible. Traditional and contemporary colors are available. Made in France. The Art Box carries open stock.

Rotring Art and Calligraphy Pens: These pens are crafted from the finest select stainless steel and individually hand finished. Each pen comes with two cartridges of black ink. The extremely high quality of these pens is evident the first time you use them. The ink flows beautifully onto the page and they feel wonderful in the hand. With the optional cartridge converter, you can use your favorite fountain pen ink with the Rotring pens. Made in Germany. The Art Box carries open stock.

Sumi Ink and Pens: Our wonderful assortment of Sumi painting and calligraphy supplies includes traditional ink sticks and stones, premixed ink in bottles (in black and vermillion), bamboo sketching pens and Sumi brushes. Sumi painting and calligraphy is a marvelous experience with these terrific tools. Made in Japan. The Art Box carries open stock.

India Inks: The Art Box carries a variety of India Inks from the ubiquitous Higgins India Ink to Speedball India Ink.  We also carry FW's intensely pigmented acrylic-based Black India Ink. Not actually made in India. The Art Box carries open stock.

Pigma Micron Pens: Permanent India Ink in a graded nib pen, these marvelous pens give you total control for all drawing techniques. Graded from .005 to .08, the line they make is so solid and black, so uniform and even, you'll feel like a draftman from the minute you pick it up. Here at Creative Framing and The Art Box, we have used these pens for the last 15 years to draw the black lines on our french mats. Made in Japan. The Art Box carries open stock and sets in black and colors.

Metallic Pens and Markers: A wide range of Metallic Markers from different manufacturers are available at The Art Box. We have gold, silver, and even copper in a variety of tip widths from bold to micro.

Highlighters and Specialty Markers: The Art Box carries Highlighters in two tip sizes and three colors. We stock wet erase Vis-A-Vis markers, and dry erase Expo Markers in sets of 4 and 8 colors.

Children's Markers: In addition to a line of Crayola Markers like Washables and Classic Markers described in our Kids Stuff section, The Art Box also carries Pentel Color Pen markers. These student grade markers are inexpensive and have a very nice point. The colors are beautiful, and they are washable. Made in Taiwan. The Art Box carries sets.
