Review: Super pleased! - First time buying this ink. It is a great buy and really great quality. I am very pleased!
Review: Pour spout! - I'm so happy it has a pour spout! Make sure you have cleaning fluid on hand, as things ink will stain something fierce even with just soap. Cleaning can be a chore if you're not familiar with the process. This ink is also highly water-resistant when dried, making it great for use in watercolour or printmaking. Remember that carbon-based ink is in a strange category of colours that can vary from very pale to very dark depending on if you wish to dilute it or not. Carbon ink will not turn blue or red when diluted like pigment-based black inks and paints will. SuperBlack is on the darker end of blacks, and dries to a nice, neutral, matte black. It's maybe the 2nd closest you can get to Culture Hustle's "Black 2.0" for the price. It's also made in the US, so that is kind of a bonus.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can i use it for a bar counter top?**
A: We purchased this product for the dye not the bottle. I think the over all dimensions and shape of the container would make it much too small to use it for a countertop, even on a small bar. I could visualize the potential to precariously balance a shot glass on the top of this bottle but I do believe that this would become increasingly difficult after the consumption of each shot of liquor. Now I may be interoperating your question incorrectly but a little part of me is curious if you were thinking about using this to color/or dye an existing bar top. Success would entirely depend on the material the bar top is made out of. Wood/stone/laminate and if it was sealed or raw. If this was the question you meant to ask I cant give you a good answer. One thing is for sure, this product (physically) definitely will not make a good bar top, countertops I feel, have the greatest potential to make the best bar top.

**Q: Can this be used with a pentel brush pen?**
A: No! you can not want use this ink on your pentel brush pen it will clog it and will be dificult to clean to the point you will have to buy a new one. this ink is for dip pens o brushes you will clean after use the ink.

**Q: can i use it for calligraphy by fourtain pens?**
A: No, it can clog a fountain pen.  It works very well with dip pens as long as you keep them clean.  I've used it diluted in waterbrush pens (for portable ink wash drawings) but haven't yet tried it straight for brush calligraphy.  (If you want a good waterproof black fountain pen ink try Noodler's Bulletproof!)

**Q: is  it non-toxic?**
A: Please read Product description more carefully. It says, non-toxic

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I have a love hate relationship with Speedball Super Black
*by R***K on December 30, 2016*

I have a love hate relationship with Speedball Super Black. But honestly, this stuff is a little underrated. It's okay for brush inking, and pretty good if you let it condense. For nib use, though, it flows great (one of the better flowing inks I've used... and I've used a LOT of inks). I also use this ink a lot when blending inks for brush use, and it makes a great base. Not only that, but it doesn't bleed on any of the higher qualities papers I've used that are more prone to bleeding with certain inks (like Ultradraw). Dollar for dollar, you can't beat this stuff. It's my go to back up ink. It's easy to get, works well enough, and comes in big quantities.
