It dries in 20 seconds in a medium nib on Rhodia and has a dry flow. Van Dieman’s ink is made in Australia.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAustralia is the world's largest producer of truffles outside of Europe, and Tasmania was the birthplace of Australian truffles, when Tim Terry unearthed the first Tasmanian truffle in the winter of 1999, the result of 8 years work. Along with fine wine, south seas salmon, an array of stone fruits, berries and exotic herbs, truffles make up a part of Tasmania's extraordinarily high quality culinary produce. This ink is the second black in the Van Dieman's Range, and has a noticeably brown hue when shading, with an oily black sheen on certain papers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbout Tassie Seasons\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTassie Seasons is the fifth series in Van Dieman's expanding collection of Tasmanian Fountain Pen Inks. These sixteen inks encapsulate the changing colors of Tasmania, with four inks dedicated to each season. Tassie Seasons is a mix of dark and light, warm and cool, every-day writing worthy and artistically minded colors, including two shimmer inks.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTasmania is the only state in Australia with a truly temperate climate. Winter exhibits colorful festivals in the south, generous snowfalls in the central highlands, and foggy days in Launceston from July through to September. Cool and breezy spring days unveil a kaleidoscope of native flowers, vibrantly plumed birds and stunning butterflies. An abundance of local produce arrives in the summer, to be enjoyed with a day at the many beaches, and followed by the ominous summer storm. In Autumn enjoy late seasons figs and pepperberries and marvel at Australia's only native deciduous tree at the turning of the fagus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis is a 30ml bottle of Dye Based Ink\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThis ink is suitable for dip pens, brushwork and all fountain pens\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"174\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" border=\"0\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol span=\"2\" width=\"87\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"47\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl63\" height=\"47\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl64\"\u003eVan Dieman's\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"47\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"47\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInk Name\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eBlack Truffle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"47\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"47\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eAustralia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"115\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"115\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDry Time\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003e20 seconds in a Pilot VP medium nib on Rhodia\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eDry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShading\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"69\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"69\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheen\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eBlack sheen in large swabs only\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShimmer\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"47\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"47\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLimited Edition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"47\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"47\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWater Resistance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr height=\"24\"\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl65\" height=\"24\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIron Gall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd width=\"87\" class=\"xl66\"\u003eNo\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Van Dieman's","offers":[{"title":"30ml Bottle","offer_id":32758575202409,"sku":"","price":27.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4ml Sample","offer_id":32758575235177,"sku":"","price":7.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0648\/5185\/products\/SwatchSeasonsWinterBlackTruffle.png?v=1614814403","url":"https:\/\/vanness1938.mom\/en-ca\/products\/van-diemans-tassie-seasons-winter-black-truffle","provider":"Vanness","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
