Just tried some sampling of it and it seems a pretty nice ink. Dries in a minute or so on decent cartridge paper and is then fairly waterproof. After a few more minutes it is waterproof so doesn't give you much time to work with for sketching. Will have to try it on Bristol board sometime, it has a shinier surface and make give more working time to wet with a brush. Very pleased with it otherwise and it comes at a very reasonable cost.

Writes beautifully, very dark black and so far has been fountain pen friendly. I’ve found it difficult to find an ink ok for fountain pens and waterproof - this is brilliant, plus a very reasonable price too. Very happy with my purchase and adding to my subscribe list.

Cette encre s'adapte bien au dessin, comme à la calligraphie!

Did not like this ink at all. The Sumi ink is more consistent and ready to use. This ink had to be adjusted to correct the viscosity which is annoying when working on a calligraphy project.

This ink is not black at all. It's more of a dark grey if anything and requires you to really layer it on if you want it to be black, but it doesn't stink or have a weird stench, is waterproof and cheap.I'd recommend this for practice use or maybe normal writing. For art pieces if you'd like a grey wash this is good ink for that.(This is also not India Ink)

La he comprado para rellenar mi pincel Pentel y resultó muy buena, su resistencia al agua la hace excelente para técnica de acuarela, y se hace permanente sobre el Linoleo para trazar más fácilmente para hacer mis grabados, ADVERTENCIA, no la usen en plumas fuente, porque se seca dentro del sistema, la metí en una Jinhao como prueba y dio mal resultado, pero para dibujo con pincel es de lo mejor.

for replacement ink in my pilot parallel pen this works great. it is a little light in color more of a dark grey than black. for dip pens i prefer to mix this with half speedball ultrablack india ink to water that down a little bit and darken this up.
