Review on πŸ–‹οΈ ZZKOKO 12-Color Calligraphy Ink Bottle Set for Dip Calligraphy Pens - Drawing, Writing, and Art Fountain Pen Non-Carbon Ink by Denise Davis

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Not as good as Bombay ink

Very good range of colors red and green. I love its turquoise color but it would be better if it contained a real blue like ultramarine or phthalo blue. Its light purple color is interesting - when diluted, it has a light blue undertone (may indicate a mixture of at least two colors). I originally bought it to help Dr. PH Martins Bombay. But I soon found that this is not a very good substitute because.1. It's not waterproof like Bombay ink - see pic 2. hard to get the ink out of the bottle. I had to use eyedroppers which caused unexpected ink splatters. The price is about the same as Dr. Ph Martin's Bombay 0.5 fl oz or 15 ml. If I had known what I know now I would not have bought this kit. I will probably use it from time to time as a base for my watercolor painting because it is not waterproof.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and chunky
