I like calligraphy and this water-soluble ink cleans up easily but plenty black without blue overtones. It is also recommended for making hardwoods such as streaked ebony jet black. Recommended!

I bought and used this India ink because it's water resistance works well with my water color art. I am quite pleased with it

This was easy to use and apply. Resulted in a great look. Take care to ensure certain parts of your fretboard are taped off as it can easily stain light woods under the dark fretboard. Good value

I like this ink a lot. I've been experimenting with it and found that the fact that it's not water proof, can work in my favor. The Hawthorn Tree was done with a fine mist, and the shading on the Birch trees was pulled from the tree's left side, inward using a slightly damp brush. It's good stuff. Because it's not waterproof, I coated both of these drawings with KRYLON DIVERSIFIED BRANDS K01311007 Matte Finish Spray Paint, available here on Amazon. The Matte finish also works great.

I got this pen and ink for my 12-year old son. He loves theM. He did note that the ink that came in the pen seemed to be a better quality ink than the ink in the bottle. The refill ink from the bottle was not as dark and sharp-looking, but he still likes it.

I've used fountain pens and calligraphy pens for decades, so I've owned this ink a few times. The last time I bought it, I was hoping that it would be better than I remembered. Not really... it's just kind of watery and not a bold black. That might be fine for other people, considering what you're using it for, but if you want a bold black or something thick, this isn't it. It's black enough, and a decent consistency for fountain pens, and not as likely to clog them as some other inks, but it is not thick or jet black.

Could have cost a little less, considering the amount of ink in the bottle itself. Other than that the product was good and arrived on time.

Muy buena tinta, es negra de verdad, no grisásea. El envase podría mejorarse para disminuir riesgos de derrames, aunque se entiende que así mantienen su producto a buen precio.

Works smoothly with my fountain pen my father gave me, and my do pen. I was iffy given the price but have had no issues (it even arrived frozen because of the cold snap and had to be thawed before using and still works wonderfully). I'm ordering other colors now.
