I'm new to this art form. Are these alcohol inks or do they work like them??

These are actually acrylic paints, not alcohol ink. Alcohol ink is much more watery than these, these are great if you want a thicker coverage and want to use a paint brush. The alcohol ink is loose and covers whatever your working on in just a few drops, at least from my experience in making my eggshell pendants. I hope this helps with your question a little!

They write and draw well over dried watercolor. Ive also had success using them with soft pastels, colored pencil, and ink. The only medium I have had bad luck using these with is graphite.

I'm new to this process myself. I only started using the inks a couple weeks ago.

They work with my MX700. It shows ink levels so I assume they have chips. Anyway, so far so good just open them over a rag they seem to drip a little. They also sent 2 small black tanks that do not fit so it's really an 8 pack. Still a great deal, I just looked at Costco ink refilling yeaterday and they want 8 bucks to refill a tank.

No, the ink in these pens is transparent. You want something opaque or chalky for fabric.

The labels are not waterproof and will start to come off when wet. I use them for wine bottles and they are passable but I don't think they would hold up as beer or water bottle labels. The running of the ink depends on the type of ink used. Hp and Epson seem to hold up but the label starts to come off when wet. You might want to get custom labels made that are designed to handle getting wet.

JL, I know what Dinsink advertises about the ink. They call it universal, usually in my limited understanding a water-based dye ink. I could be wrong. Have you questioned Dinsink?

Ya, just make sure you let it dry.I takes a long time. I am not a huge fan of dippy pens but I have a set and if youre after a certain line it works. Im drawing "illuminated" letters w this ink. I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"

Honestly I've no idea but it looks really cheap ink, very tiny bottles smaller then eyedroops I haven't use this ink I have a set of gray wash and blak outlining the ink that comes with the kit you can use it to practice only on fake skin or pork skin go to a Mexican store where they sell fresh meet and buy a pund of pig skin to practice that's what I did good luck if you want I can send you frozen pig skin

They have always worked for me. They do not last as long as the Canon ink. Just make sure the cartridges are clicked in properly. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Im not sure, but probably not. They tend to smear even on regular paper if I don't let them dry. Very heavy beautiful ink, but messy if not carefull.

Yes, love them. My printer sees them and registers the ink levels. No problems at all. Been using them for over a year now!

They are print heads and the ink is feed thru them onto the paper. I had to replace mine after 4 years. The new ones should both cost $100.00. I saved my old ones and have them soaking in 70% alcohol. The next time I notice the print not printing well I will reuse the old ones again. I think that the ink starts to dry up in the print heads and does not flow properly. They should work again.

Yes i have been using them a while now. The black isnt a deep black. But its black enough. The ink is good for everyday printing. Dont expect photo quality prints. The color is a bit lighter

I recognize similar behavior in the refills I purchased/use. I say they issue very full amounts of ink initially. I wouldn't call them duds. Frankly I've had to replace these when I not used them for 'n' days and they were more difficult/less fun to write with. Not sure they're duds maybe the norm?

I've used it with Montblanc Mystery Black ink and that worked really well. I've also used Private Reserve, Noodler's, Parker Quink, and J. Herbin. They all seemed to work pretty well. The J. Herbin ink was a little too wet, the Noodler's ink (Blue) was a great ink and I enjoyed the Private Reserve and Parker ink equally as well. Lamy also makes ink. I haven't used them myself but I've heard good things about them.
