" ... It's not as black as Dr. Ph Martins Hicarb India ink but it is good and dark. ... The ink is very fluid so it does bleed a bit on more textured paper but it's nice on smooth bristol. ... "
" ... This pen is the equivilence of using a quill ink pen, but is much easier, mess free, and comes with a replacement cartridge. ... "
" ... The barrel is nice and comfortable to hold and the ink cartridge lasted longer than I expected. ... Changing the cartridge is simple - cartridges are only around $5-7 for a two pack. ... "
" ... the cartridges seem to run out fast though, but i just bought 12 refills for a total of about $8, so at least the refills are cheap. ... "
" ... The ink doesn’t smudge, either. ... Still, even with only one extra cartridge I think this was well worth the price. ... "
" ... Ink could be thicker for Chinese calligraphy but a great compromise for a pocket safe brush that doesn't need constant dipping in an ink well or pot. ... And push really firmly to seat cartridge to start ink flowing into brush, wait for ink to saturate brush before gently flexing loaded brush. ... "
" ... The ink is rich and the brush kept nice and straight. ... "
" ... Ink is a rich black. ... "

" ... This pen is waterproof, but allow to dry completely or it will smear/smudge - drying time varies and I normally leave my art piece to dry overnight. ... "
" ... And ink is very even, and doesn't really blotch up or smudge, if given appropriate drying time. ... "

" ... Although it does not dry as fast as I am imagining but still great!! ... "

" ... It's the perfect size for travel and the ink dries quickly on the page. ... "

" ... I have found that in order to keep my lines solid and avoid the dry brush effect, I can't move too quickly. ... "
