Pros & Cons
Pros
The shades and colors you can coax out of this ink are perfect and the orange is pure sunset heat. It shines best in low light settings of course but is also clearly visible with a uv light in a bright setting. There are two main black inks for those ... Read More
Waterproof, water resistant, archival ultra-black ink that will withstand the worst papers. Erasing my penciled guide lines did not smear or affect the ink. Only issue is that it smudges even after weeks of drying on regular paper.
It works fantastic with standard nibs and is a very wet flow (as one would expect) with my ultra-flex nib pen. In conclusion it's ink, that is well pigmented and blended, flows nicely on all my nibs.
I'm a beginner but just think this is the best ink i've ever used. I like using demonstrator fountain pens and so having an ink that doesn't stain/stick to the sides is a win.
Cons
Sketch turns greyish from bleed, linework fades. The only way i can see to use this product is to first do the watercolor/ gouache painting, then once dried, do the outline/details sketch.
All it needs to do is write without feathering. Caveat emptor/buyer beware. The entire selling point is that it doesn't feather!
Highlights
Quality
It is waterproof and permanent for most uses and is a big improvement over the ink in the cartridges if you have the converter
It works fantastic with standard nibs and is a very wet flow as one would expect with my ultraflex nib pen

Price
This is great ink at an affordable price
This is an awesome ink at a good price
Not overly expensive and works well with the pen
I bought the cheapest one i could find on amazon and had no issues with it
Shipping
The pipette was longer than the box shipped in so it was just shoved in there bending it
Put in a big enough box to ship
Packaging/appearance
Ink box came wrapped in some plastic wrap so if the bottle had broken the ink still would have leaked
Competitiveness
I went to two different art stores in rome looking for a replacement and i couldnt find anything that actually worked as well
Overall i like it though i wish i had more ink to compare it to as i am new to the hobby
I loaded this ink into several fountain pens of different brands with mixed results
