Not lightfast! best in pens

These inks are not lightfast at all. I found a lightfastness test online by someone where the person said they had exposed samples to direct sunlight for a year and most of them were completely lightfast. Well all I did was make samples from this set and put them away after they dried. Then I took 12 of my favorite flowers and made a pattern out of them, hung them on the wall indoors, not in direct sunlight but in normal room light. After only 2 months, many of them have faded terribly compared to the samples taken. As such, they can be useful for crafts, scrapbooks, journals, and greeting cards that will not be framed. But don't give someone a painting just to see the colors fade so much over the course of a few months.

Cons
  • Very expensive
