Daytone Extra Fine Fountain Pen Ink 15 Colour Set

(The review is gonna be long; stay with me)These inks are freaking amazing. Though most people bought these for writing, I, on the other hand, bought 'em for inking work in drawing. I used manga nibs (Tachikawa G). Though the nibs don't hold the ink much properly as they would hold the actual manga inks, but it's enough.I was scared that I would face the problems of opening 'em for the first time like other people did, but nope! They changed the packaging! Grateful asf.As for the bleeding, it just depends on the paper, really. Make sure to use thicker GSM paper, and it will be more amazing if it's hot pressed (for cold pressed, the paper kinda comes off piece by piece/ layer by layer because of the sharpness of the nib).What's more amazing that you can mix the inks and make beautiful shades :). If you are using them with nibs/brush and keep changing colour (for that obviously you have to clean the nibs/brush again and again in the brush/nib cleaning water jar/glass), then the jar/glass water will be most beautiful thing you ever see. You will be in awe. I will share the photo of this next time I start a project.I actually haven't drawn much using these but here are some doodles and some writing. Also a colour swatch!The colour swatch paper is 300 GSM and cold pressed. In the lower part of the swatch, colours are aligned in terms of their value (darkest to brightest; left to right). The red doodles and handwriting one is ivory sheet (I don't know the GSM :( ). And the khaki paper is 140 GSM. Note that it's bleeding ON THE PAPER, NOT THROUGH IT, not only because of the low GSM, but khaki paper is usually suitable for graphite and charcoal.The camera is not doing justice to these, but anyways- I Hope this review helped you. Have a great day and shop wisely!

I bought it with little expectations but it was better than what i imagined. Some colours i thought would be pale r quite saturated indeed. Only trouble is with the cork/ nozzle .Good to try out new colours to have an idea before buying costlier inks.Only downside is the fading issue with some colours and feathering issue with some others. Need quality check. But for this price it is good

These are super! Vibrant! High pigment saturation! I used a diluted version for tie-&-dye and it turned out brilliant. I painted with these and they were bright and eye-catching! The price is steal for the quality. Go for it and they are of' course great in pens as well.

Fresh review coming through + FAQs answered:I have never used inks before. I recently wanted to try out dip pens( for calligraphy) but the set I had from a long time ago needed a bottle of ink.So after some research I found some answers:1)Fountain pen ink can be used in calligraphy pens, fountain pens, dip pens and brushes.2)But calligraphy ink CANNOT be used in fountain pens. They WILL clog the fountain pen.3) Inks can be water resistant or waterproof.Water resistant means that it won't completely mix with small amounts of water but if the amout of water is more( like you spilled water on the page) it will mix .Water proof, means fully waterproof. It can withstand alot of water.Now for the REVIEW:As a first timer, I haven't bought other inks like Windsor & Newton, Camlin or Parker but I wanted multiple colours at a worthy price so I decided to buy these Daytone inks.THEY ARE VERY VIBRANT AND YOU GET EVERYTHING YOU ARE PROMISED.I used both the dip pen and a normal paint brush to use the ink.The colours are opaque ,vibrant and the inks are water resistant. You can add water to the ink( if you are using a brush, don't add water to the bottle) and make lighter ink washes too. I tested it all, they make even washes. Even if while using the ink if one area has a blob of ink, it evens itself out.When using a brush, it acts as an amazing brush pen. The ink flows beautifully and smoothly.Do keep in mind that some inks are very ink heavy so they spread out a bit, especially using a dip pen but that depends on the paper. I used an 80 gsm paper I think.VERDICT:Buy it. If you want a whole range of ink colours that are vibrant and don't want to spend a lot of money. It's worth it. I've never heard of Daytone but seeing the reviews here, I have it a shot and wow. I love it.Colours: 5/5Vibrancy: 5/5Range: 5/5 ( yellow, brown and various hues of reds, blues and greens)Worth the price: 4/5 ( the delivery charge is a little heavy so it deterred me from buying this, atleast in the beginning)Quantity: 5/5Product as expected:5/5Packaging and delivery:5/5

To start with, I read a lot of reviews here as well as the other places the comments weren't totally encouraging. Then I asked a friend of mine at IG whom I had seen using Daytone ink. She gave me a bit of confidence and I purchased both ink pens (15 of them) and this set of ink.The ink was vibrant, a bit watery, true to colour mostly. I have attached the pictures of the various colours apart from the primary ones. I have no complaints so far.Also it stained my fingers very well which explains why it is rich in pigment. A plus point for me.Difficult to open the air tight stopper. Wish it was more easier and came with some droppers for the light colours.You can see my clean my ink pens, and my love for ink pens and me using daytone inks, at instagram / abujoist.

These are amazing not just for writing but other crafting work too ! I naught them to color my handmade clays and these im is are incredible! Except of scarlet, coral and magenta color when I add it in clay it turn orange no matter how much I add ! But they lookamazing for basic work and art also they bleed in 2part resin and gives a really pretty tint to it ! I am amazed ! 10 on 10 will buy again

Product is good in quality. But for a day today use no need for go this much color options.. purchase individual color according to the need and choices.... Ink flow is nice. Writing part and dryness is also good. Color shade is also good...

Excellent ink quality and value for money. We , the few remaining die hard Indian Fountain pen enthusiast may surely try this made in India product. Ink quality, colour quality, ink flow are just awesome. I love it.
