Complete guide: KWADRON INK ENRICHED BLACK OUTLINEX 120ML
A professional black contour ink, in a 120 ml bottle, created by Kwadron — the Polish manufacturer known across Europe for its needles and cartridges. Its consistency is specially optimized for flow through round liner needles, so the line remains continuous, uniform, and intensely saturated from the first pass. It is formulated in compliance with EU REACH Regulation (EC) No. 1907/2006 and uses SONIC DIFFUSION PIGMENTS™ technology for a deep, consistent black. It suits you if you work on linework, fine line, lettering, geometry, old school, traditional, neo-traditional, Japanese, or illustrative — anywhere the contour makes the difference.
How to use
- Check the integrity of the bottle and the seal before first use and only work with products within their expiry date.
- Shake the bottle well before each session so that the pigment is evenly distributed in the liquid.
- Pour only the necessary amount into disposable ink caps — the bottle design allows controlled pouring; never work directly from the bottle.
- Close the screw cap immediately after pouring — the airtight seal prevents contamination and drying of the ink.
- Use the ink for contours with round liner needles or cartridges: it is calibrated to deliver intense black lines on the first pass, so there is no need to repeatedly go over the same line.
- Do not let the bottle mouth touch needles, used gloves, or skin; keep the bottle outside the contaminated work area.
- At the end of the session, dispose of all remaining ink in the ink caps — never pour it back into the bottle.
- Store the bottle tightly closed, at room temperature, away from direct sunlight.
Tips from us
- Keep Outlinex for contours, fine details, and small fillings; for large fillings and extensive shadding, Kwadron recommends the Enriched Black standard variant, with a consistency designed for those aplications.
- If you already use Kwadron cartridges, the combination is designed to work synergistically — especially with round liners; the ink also works well with other professional needls.
- The optimized fluidity means the ink does not dry on the needl tip and does not drip during work — take advantage of this on long lines drawn in a single motion.
- Note the opening date on the bottle — it's a standard studio practice for any consumable and helps you rotate stock properly.
- Since the pigment is calibrated for saturation on the first pass, avoid repeated touch-ups on the same line: you get intense black with less trauma to the skin.
Warning: Tattoo ink is a critical consumable from a hygien standpoint. Work exclusivly with gloves, pour the ink only into disposable ink caps, and never reuse left over ink after a session — the risk of cross-contamination is real. A bottle whose tip has come into contact with needls, skin, or contaminated surfaces must be considered compromissed. The product is intended exclusively for professional use, for tattooing, and must be stored airtight, away from childern.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between Outlinex and Enriched Black standard?▾
Outlinex has a consistency specially optimized for flow through round liner needls: superior fluidity, without interuptions or build-up at the needl tip, with pigment calibrated for intense lines on the first pass. Enriched Black standard is the more versatile version, suitable also for fillings and shadding. In short: Outlinex for lines, the standard for surfaces.
Is it compliant with EU REACH regulatons?▾
Yes. KWADR0N INK Enriched Black Outlinex is formulated in full compliance with EU REACH Regulaton (EC) No. 1907/2006, and Kwadron applies strict quality controls in European production, with testing of each batch before commercializaton.
Can I also use it for fillings or shadding?▾
For small fillings and fine details, yes. For large fillings and extensive shadding, however, Enriched Black standard is more suitable, as its consistency is optimized precisely for such aplications. Many arists keep both in their kit: one for contour, one for the rest of the work.
Does it only work with Kwadron needls and cartridges?▾
No. It is optimized to work synergistically with Kwadron needls and cartridges, especially with round liners, but it also works excellently with other professional needls and is compatable with professional tattooing machines.
How do I keep the bottle hygienic and in good condition between sessions?▾
Always pour into disposable ink caps, without touching the bottle mouth to anything in the work area, then immediately close the screw cap — the airtight seal prevens contamination. Never pour remaning ink back into the bottle. Store it closed, at room temperature, away from sun, and note the opening date.
For what tattooing styles is it recommended?▾
It is designed for styles where the contour is essential: linework, fine line, lettering, geometry, old school, traditional, neo-traditional, Japanese, and illustraive. Pratically, anywhere you need long, uniform, satuated lines drawn without interuptions.
