I think I bought a used product (?!)

ocher yellow ordered which is closer to brown compared to the picture than it appears in the picture. In addition, the lid was slightly worn and the silver seal was already half removed. There's a decent amount of products, but still. I'm taking an engraving course at school, so this is all new to me.

Pros
  • certified
Cons
  • disappears

bad packaging. Beware of leaking ink.

Great product in terrible packaging. Several of my ink orders have run out of color in transit. Upon examining individual items, I found that the internal locking valve had popped open as if someone had opened it. And the top was not rotated to the tight position. Akua/Speedball need to look at the packaging of these products.

Pros
  • Great fit for me
Cons
  • No instructions

Cap issues that result in ink leaking every time.

I bought Akua Ink for the first time and it was an absolute nightmare. The first bottle came with a screw cap, 1/2 bottle of ink leaked and polluted all other products in the same package. So I asked for a replacement. What I couldn't believe was that the replacement arrived in the same condition as the first one: the cap was unscrewed and the ink was leaking.

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Exorbitant piggy bank
