Review: Best bang for your buck black paint and ink you could ask for. - Richly dark yet watery enough to be easily grey if need be. It’s perfect for testing new brushes and paper! The size is big, you really don’t need as much as you’d think because of how high quality the ink is. Perfect for bordering and calligraphy, and possibly dip pens but I have yet to try them.
Review: Easy to Use - This Daiso Sumi Calligraphy Liquid Ink is a reliable choice for calligraphy enthusiasts. The ink flows smoothly and the color is rich and vibrant, making it perfect for both beginners and experienced artists. It washes off easily, which is a huge plus when working with delicate materials or cleaning up after use. The ink is also easy to use, with a consistency that makes it ideal for brush or dip pen calligraphy. For the price, it offers great quality and performance. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a dependable ink for their calligraphy projects!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: how many bottles in one pack?**
A: It is 1 bottle, they do not come in packs.

**Q: Can i use this ink with a dip pen (Gnib)?**

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great ink
*by A***. on June 7, 2021*

I love the way this ink writes. It's smooth, doesn't bleed and has great color. The only down side is I have to dip my pen more often. But the amount of ink I received will go a lot farther than the smaller bottles of calligraphy ink specifically for pens. So I'm saving money.
