Review: Superb ink for use with dip pens - I'm a professional illustrator and visual art educator, specializing in drawing: I've worked with pens and pencils for over forty years. For my purposes, this ink is far and away the best India ink I've found for use with a dip pen. It's very liquid, so it flows nicely across paper surfaces. I use a variety of substrates, so it's important to have a bottle of ink on my drawing table that isn't clumpy or sticky - especially upon drying. This ink dries surprisingly quickly, and is quite opaque and matte upon drying. If I fill a large shape using a brush, there are few, if any, marks that show... I really appreciate the graphic quality of a solid, opaque black. Dry marks just look amateurish - the finish of this ink is very professional. The best surfaces for my use of this India ink are 100# Strathmore Smooth Bristol Board and other smooth or plate papers. It's also quite waterproof upon drying. If the illustration I'm working on requires washes of watercolor or other watermedia, some inks reactivate and pollute the bright or light colors with puddles of leaky black ink. Not this stuff! Once it's dry, it stays put and does NOT reactivate. That means it's easy to erase pencil construction lines. And washes of color go down cleanly.
Review: Dark and Lovely - This ink is super black, dries relatively fast. Even it being my first time using ink like this, first time using a dip pen, I didn't smudge a thing on the page, so that's a win for me. The best part is when it does dry, (quickly, i may add) erasing the pencil doesn't lighten up like Microns do. I heard the angels singing as I erased the underlying graphite. Still as black as my soul. I'm really happy I chose this ink, and I cant wait to make more awesome things with it. The matte finish is also just beautiful, should do well for scans too. I purchased this ink because I believe illustrator Yuko Shimizu uses it, and I thought if she chose it then it must be good. I was not disappointed!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great inks!
*by C***Y on October 31, 2020*

I use Dr. Martin’s Radiant watercolors and love them so I thought I’d give this ink a try after being disappointed by the Speedball brand. These inks are great! They’re blacker than black a.k.a. awesome and are for really real waterproof as advertised! They also do well with markers! 10/10 recommend. P.s. I use them with a Nikko G-nib. Haven’t tried them with any brushes yet.
