Pros & Cons
Pros

The bottle is small but you really just need 2-3 drops in the marker's barrel to refill it. This ink is a game changer for me. My absolute favorite ink is the bee's knees.
Waterproof and great with watercolors, acrylic, line work, sketching and more. The dropper is a smart touch. It is very waterproof though.
This stuff is archival af. Pricey but absolutely worth it. One complaint is that i wish i could buy 8-10 fl.
I'm a watercolor artist who likes to do ink lines or details under their watercolors. None of my paintings with this have ever chipped, flaked, or faded. For really large areas of black, windsor newton gouache is still best in terms of consistency.
Cons
This is not waterproof despite it says it is. It's not fully opaque and when photographed it still occasionally reflects some light.

Packaging/appearance
I recently bought this item to refill some of my pigma micron pens and the ink doesnt look to have any flaws in packaging
Its also just washed out of the brushes i use with it after a normal brush cleaning
It does dry thickly on the nib though and clogs it relatively quickly
Competitiveness
Im really pleased with how this ink works in my arteza water brush
This stuff is charcoal black and twice as black as the competing brand

If i fill a large shape using a brush there are few if any marks that show

Dry marks just look amateurish the finish of this ink is very professional

If the illustration im 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
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Once its dry it stays put and does not reactivate
