What we liked

  • + 16oz size is economical for classes, studios and heavy daily drills
  • + Matte black dries without glare, which suits scanning finished pieces
  • + Works across illustration and lettering, so one bottle covers both hobbies

Trade-offs

  • - Test waterproofness on scrap paper before adding washes
  • - Store brand ink is less documented than long-standing calligraphy inks
