ajax16 Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Dear Vaibhav, Thanks for the brilliant exposition of Daytone ink. A few points for consideration: 1. Add shotgun pellets or a piece of lead into the ink. Check after a few days. Poor quality inks will lose their colour and become pale watery substances. Chelpark is like that. 2. Cheaper inks are basically liquid dyes. Fine to use but problem comes in when the ink dries inside the pen or remains in the pen -- then it starts eating into rubber and metal parts. 3. I always liked Camel most, out of Indian inks. Would add a few drops of sketch pen ink into a bottle of Camel ink and get these deep colours. Mind you, the ink dries faster, much faster. But the brilliant blues and jet blacks were superb. I used my schoolday sheaffer pens, as dip pens, as in the 70s and 80s I didnt have access to sheaffer cartridges. Medium nibs and smooth as butter. Cheers,Ajay Link to post Share on other sites
lapis Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Thanks for including their website. Now that is one good offer.... For "ordinary" users, there's not only the 60 but also the 500-ml bottles... but if you really write a lot, why not get the 5-liter bottle?

justaninker Posted May 17, 2016 Share Posted May 17, 2016 Thank you so muchThis is a great ink, too bad it's not available on Ebay yet. Are all Daytone FP inks water resistant? I'm especially interested in the turquoise, green, and red inks. Thanks! Link to post Share on other sites
ajaynatu Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 Daytone inks are available on amazon.just that they do not have the small quantity... have the 500ml bottleshttp://www.amazon.in/dp/B01BV4FIV4/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=3DC4FHPCUM1YZ&coliid=I6BPIYNOB7IPW Link to post Share on other sites
ajaynatu Posted June 5, 2016 Share Posted June 5, 2016 i agree with mehandiratta that camlin still holds the market. but the recent change in colour just made me look for another ink... used camlin royal blue since i started writing with FPs !!! been lot light and "watery" ...have ordered the daytone blue-black... hope to receive the order soon , try and put up a review here Link to post Share on other sites
ajaynatu Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Does it fade over a period of few months? Link to post Share on other sites
Monbla Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Very good review!! I have to agree with you, this IS NOT a Blue/Black ink!! It's very close to Aurora's Blue to my eyes. Since I've not found any US retailer I guess I won't be able to give it a try !! Link to post Share on other sites
