Kwadron Ink - Kwadron Ink

Kwadron's First Ink A Specialty Black

Kwadron launched its first own-branded ink in November 2024. The needle maker known globally for cartridges and traditional needles entered the ink category with a single SKU: Kwadron Inx Enriched Black. Kwadron's black tattoo ink is an all-purpose carbon-based black for lining, shading, and filling. Eikon stocks both the 4 oz and 8 oz bottles, the complete Kwadron ink range available in Canada.

One Bottle, Three Jobs

Inx Enriched Black handles lining, shading, and filling in the same bottle. Kwadron positions it as their blackest ink on the market, built on ultrasonic pigment dispersion. The brand calls this process Sonic Diffusion Pigments, industry-standard ultrasonic milling under a trademarked name. You get a water-based black that shakes before use and ships ready for the machine. No mixing with other brands per the safety data sheet.

What Eikon Stocks

Eikon carries the Enriched Black in two sizes: 4 oz at roughly $21 CAD and 8 oz at $30.75 CAD. Kwadron's second ink, Inx Outlinex (a lining-only black), is not stocked. If you need a dedicated lining black, Eikon's roster includes Eternal Lining Black and Solid. The Enriched Black sits mid-to-upper pricing, similar per-ounce cost to Eternal Lining Black, above budget blacks.

Composition and Compliance Notes

Kwadron ships two variants of Inx Enriched Black: an EU REACH-compliant version and a non-REACH Canadian/US version. Eikon ships the non-REACH bottle. The only published safety data sheet describes the EU variant, composition specifics for the Canadian bottle (preservative system, trace-metal tolerances) are not publicly documented. The EU variant lists a water-based carrier with carbon pigment, paraben-free and phenoxyethanol-free preservatives, and no hazard classification under CLP. The non-REACH bottle may differ.

Handling and Shelf Life

Shake before use. The safety data sheet instructs not to mix with other brands, and Kwadron lists no recommended diluent. Use within 12 months of opening. Viscosity is not published; no data exists for thick, thin, or flow grade. The EU safety data sheet classifies skin and respiratory sensitisation as not classified, with the standard note that patch testing is sensible for clients predisposed to reactions. Sterilisation method is not published for either variant.

Artist Context and Pricing Tier

Kwadron Inx is roughly 18 months on the market. Independent artist consensus has not yet formed, no substantive forum, review-site, or video coverage exists. One named endorsement is on file: Al Hartshorn, a 90s Ontario tattoo veteran and Black & Grey specialist, reports the Kwadron ink for tattoos is "ultra black" and "super smooth." He moved to Inx Enriched Black as his daily driver for both lining and shading after testing it. That's the single real working-properties signal for the non-REACH Canadian bottle Eikon ships.

Bestseller and Discount Notes

Kwadron Inx sits in the specialty black tier alongside other heavy-pigment lining and shading blacks in Eikon's catalogue. It's not a volume bestseller, it's a single-SKU specialty pick from a needle-house brand artists already know. Pricing reflects mid-to-upper positioning. Eikon runs volume discounts across tattoo supplies, piercing needles, and body jewelry. Power supplies, tools, and PMU needles also qualify. Check the cart for current discount tiers on bulk orders.
