DELETER Manga Ink, White 1, Multi-Purpose White Ink for dip Pen & Brush, Flows Well, 30ml/Bottle, 1 Bottle (341-0002)

My review is a very niche use: I use this - Deleter Black 4 - in an ackerman pen, which is a specially-designed fountain pen made to use dip nibs and handle drawing and dip inks. It must be said that you should NOT under any circumstance use this in a normal fountain pen! This is for dip pens, brushes, and other devices specifically designed for dip inks! That said, it's a a VERY thick ink, so you MUST dilute it for use in an ackerman if you don't want to get one of the larger feeds. And it requires watching, as it dries on the nib rather quick. I use about 1 part water to two parts ink for the Tachikawa Manga G, other nibs may vary. Keeping water and paper towels nearby for cleaning your pen is also essential, but thankfully it does easily clean if a clog occurs. For other uses I imagine you'd dillute it to the consistency required by your project and chosen pen nib. For the paper I use - neenah exact index 110lb - once dry it resists most copics pretty well as long as you are not scrubbing at it, although a few cause a slight haze. This might be more of an issue on slicker papers where more of the ink sits on top of the surface, or if you do heavy blending for marker-painting. But for drawings where you will be just cel shading and drawing with copics, it works well. For drying, it's relatively quick when applied thinly (like you would with a pen), but in large amounts it can take quite a while, and goes matte before it's fully touch-safe. You cannot visibly tell if the ink is wet or not, you have to simply wait longer than you think. Additionally, it has a tendency to seep through paper really easily if you spill drops of it, so heavier applications of it with a brush might require special consideration.

I just started drawing with a dip pen, so my knowledge is limited, but this ink is working great so far. The ink is a nice black, flows well, and leaves a really pleasing mark on the page.

It’s nice and resistant, good for inking, not too easy to use for beginners, but it works well, it’s not the cheapest but it’s a decent price for the amount you receive, you might have to learn to dilute it for the consistency to work best.

Here’s my very first test run using this ink & my new dip pen. PROS: - Very opaque & dries quickly. Love the darkness of this ink. CONS: - Not so compatible with alcohol marker. I did different line variations with the ink, allowed it to dry 24h, then tested my caliart markers over the lines. They smudged almost instantly. I am still quite new to using dip pens for manga art, but I think inking should be done after you color. You’ll also need a container of warm water beside you & soft paper towels to prevent the ink from drying up and clogging the ink flow on your nib. Definitely use a damp cloth to wipe the nib before you use the ink! OVERALL: Worth the buy due to how fast it dries, opaqueness of the ink! This ink works really well with brush pens too, found myself not needing to dip the brush into the ink too often because of how much a small amount of ink could disperse on large spaces!

This is easily one of my favorite inks. It's thick yet buttery smooth, and it dries nice and dark. Once dry, you can erase the pencil drawing underneath with no fading and it holds up to watercolors and markers without smudging (I used Pro Markers, which are alcohol based). The only problem I have is that the bottle is plastic and a bit on the dinky side, and at 30ml (just over 1oz) you don't exactly get a generous amount. Also, while this is an excellent ink for brushes and nib pens, I STRONGLY advise against using this in a fountain pen or refillable brush pen. This is a very thick ink, the kind best suited for dipping tools. All in all, this is a very good ink and I highly recommend it for traditional colored work.

I desperately needed a better ink because the one I have been using flowed off the nib horribly. Deleter black inks are my new favorite for comic illustration. It is a little thicker than most inks I have tried, but it has a very rich black look to it. It flows off the nib beautifully, especially the nikko nibs, it seems to clog more easily on zebra nibs for me. If I notice the ink not flowing well, I just clean the nib in a cup of water, dry it, and continue drawing. I know some people may not like the thickness but you start to get used to it. I honestly would rather prefer a slightly thicker ink than one that drips off the nib easily. Overall, great product and worth the money🙂

Highly recommend. So fun. I’ve tried the other ink variations, but #4 is my favorite as I can water color over.

not sure if the phrase “vibrant black” makes much sense, but this ink is JET black. excellent for someone like me, who loves ultra black, opaque inks. reacts well with water and isn’t hard to wash out of clothes. can be hard to get off wood if it sinks in too deep (though the wood my desk is made of isn’t actually finished). dries relatively quickly but can smudge if you’re not careful, just like any other dip pen ink. good for ink washing!

Nice and thick black, but still flows like a dream.

Je suis fan des encres Deleter. Une belle tenue, l'encre sèche bien et ne laisse pas de trace au gommage du Line. Par contre faut vraiment attendre avant de gommer. Le pot en lui même n'est pas top de chez top, il est léger, un accident est vite arrivé. Parfois j'ai une bulle qui se forme à l'ouverture du pot, elle s'éclate facilement mais ça crée des projections d'encre partout si on ne fait pas gaffe. C'est pour le pot que je retire une étoile. Sinon l'encre elle même est nickel

Habitué à utiliser le même matériel pour l'encre de chine depuis des années (pointe atome de BIC et encre noire Conté) j'ai décidé de changer récemment... et cette encre est la meilleure que j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler. D'un noir intense et homogène, qui sèche ni trop vite, ni trop lentement. Parfaite. On peut regretter que le flacon ne soit pas aussi ergonomique que l'encre ZIG Kuretake (qui est aussi une très bonne encore), mais son extrême qualité fait oublier tout le reste.

soy un profano en la materia pero me gusta como queda con la plumilla G de Deleter
