The best inks for Rapidograph drawing pens.

This is still the best ink for Rapidograph drawing pens. You can use other ink - fountain pen ink - to use the color, but when you're done, clean your pens. I love Koh-i-noor Ink Liners, but this ink works with any brand and style. It's waterproof, quick-drying and precise - everything you need in a drawing pen. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
  • I'm angry

THIS IS THE BEST COLOR IN THE WORLD! And I'm not exaggerating.

I've been using this ink for years and swear by it. I illustrate all my published crime, non-fiction and now children's books with Ultra Draw. This ink allows you to keep your drawing underwater and it will not fade or wash off. I even painted with it on glass. The real reason I'm commenting on this is because I came across a great way to clean my Ultra Draw tips and Tech tips. The only problem with waterproof ink is cleaning the tools. I put a spray cleaner called Scrubbing Bubbles in a glass…

Pros
  • Fingers crossed
Cons
  • Repair

This is the best ink for drawing with quills or mixing with liquid watercolors. It dries completely matt, waterproof and quite dark. I've only found darker blacks with some dry pigment pans and watercolor tubes, which are of course water soluble. This ink can also be used in technical pens and dries very quickly on paper. I've also never had a foul smell from this ink, unlike some Higgins inks. However, I use this strain so often that the bottle never sits for months. I received the right…

Pros
  • Extremely versatile waterproof drawing ink
Cons

I ordered 4 bottles of the Ultradraw ink shown in the photo but received the universal ones (all 4 bottles). It was just a performance issue on BestSource OfficeSupplies side and I will most likely not be ordering anything for sale from them again. I will still consider Ultradraw ink though (ended up ordering more from another supplier). The inks are great but to be honest I don't use them in my rapidiographs. I use this ink for drawing with pen and brush. It's fairly thin (obviously) but sits…

Pros
  • .Slow drying ink due to long pen open times.
Cons
  • Not bad but...

The photo does not match the description!

Be very careful - photo dated 24/08/20 does not match description. Pictured is Rapiddraw but description is for Ultradraw. I also received a Universal when I ordered an Ultradraw. These are three very different products. This review is about Ultradraw, a pigmented ink specially designed for technical pens. It is waterproof, fade resistant and archival quality. Universal inks, which come in a nearly identical container, are dye-based and not lightfast. I use Ultradraw in most of my tech pens…

Pros
  • Use on paper
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
