Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Ink 60ml Bottle - Black

Thank you Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Ink. You have allowed me to color my illustrations without watching the ink line smear like all the other inks I have tried. Anyone wanting to use alcohol based markers to color their work will be happy to know this is the real deal.

Quede contenta con la compra, llegó antes de lo esperado y tiene buena calidad. Apenas estoy probando materiales pero me gusto el tono de negro que da. Hice la prueba en un moleskine y resistió bastante bien el coloreado con acuarela.

Kuretake make two very similar inks which are easily confused. Each comes in the same low profile black plastic bottle. This one is described as "Black Ink 60" and is wrapped in a black label; the other is called "Sumi Ink 60" and is wrapped with a white label. However, the former is also described elsewhere on the label as "sumi ink". The 60 seems to correspond to the 60ml contents. The ink under review describes itself as "very quick drying Sumi ink for Manga drawing". The other type, with the white label, describes itself as "very smooth flowing ink for Manga drawing". The white label version says it is waterproof when dry; the black label version does not say this, at least not in English. These are both pigment based black inks which are unsuitable for fountain pens. These are both high quality sumi drawing inks which produce a clean line off a dip nib. Off a paint brush they can both dry to a slight sheen if applied generously. Off a brush but less liberally applied both will dry to a slight texture. Both are very black and readily diluted. I have not been able to detect any discernible difference between the two inks, unless it is that that the black label version, the subject of this review, dries more quickly. The plastic bottle has a pleasingly wide neck and the bottle cannot easily be tipped over. The cap can be hard to unscrew if the bottle is not opened for a while - you might need one of those small perforated rubber sheets which handily assist to open recalictrant ink bottles. These are both high quality, dependable inks for drawing, calligraphy and washes. I have not found either one to be entirely waterproof in the sense of not reacting at all to water when dry. Overall, excellent ink.

La mejor tinta para dibujo que he probado. Tintas como PI LOT son demasiado aguadas y al borrar el lápiz se borran. Esta tinta resiste bastante bien el borrado de goma, además a la hora de entintar es consistente y puedes hacer muchas líneas después de mojar la plumilla, se nota que es de calidad. Seca bastante rápido también.Yo la uso para hacer ilustraciones y dibujos tipo cómic en blanco y negro. También puedes darles color después de entintarlos.
