Hi, No, the red ink paste is not water based. Most likely the cinnabar is mixed with castor oil as a base.

Noodlers is fountain pen ink, but so far, I've only tried one called bullet proof. I have it in 3 of my pens and have not had a problem. However, if you have very expensive pens, be sure to verify this for yourself in a cheaper pen. I have some terrific pens from China called the Hero - 8 horses and it was only about $7.00 free shipping. Anyway, Goulet Pens.com or something like that has everything you'd ever want to know about pens and inks if you are still in doubt. As far as the waterproof. I have to let my drawings dry really well before applying color because it does bleed. Sometimes for me, that's good because I also do ink washes and apply water on a brush right away to get that bleed. A lot of artists are recommending Noodlers Lexington Gray ink. I hope this helps.

Yes. This printer uses Epson Durabrite ink, which is pigment-based and is therefore waterproof (unlike dye-based inkjet inks, which are not waterproof).

Yes, it's permanent ink. Be careful, and check the paper you are using as much paper made today won't work with liquid inks, and you can end up with a blur rather than a word. If you use good paper, what you write won't wash out, but the excess will fade if it gets wet (as is true with most all ink). More depends upon the paper than the ink. I do like this ink quite a bit, and just pulled out some note books (details of some environmental studies) I wrote in grad school about 40 years ago, and they are still crisp and clear if that helps you at all.

No, this ink is aqueous ink meaning it is water based ink. It will be water resistant to a small degree but is not waterproof by any means, for that you would need a solvent printer with solvent ink also referred to as "eco-solvent ink". Solvent ink is chemically different and is oil based, it is used mostly in sign/vinyl printing.

It is a paste. Comes in a tube. Seriously, do not buy. It washes put completely with the initial post dye wash

The ink is designed to be safe for fountain pens, and I have not found it to behave any differently than any other fountain pen ink I use. It hasn't clogged any pen I've put it in (save for if the pen is ignored for too long and it dries out a bit--again, typical for any ink). In general, I recommend fountain pen users flush their pens with water periodically. This is a good care-and-feeding procedure, and will limit the impact this (or any) ink will have on your pen.

Yes. If water touches the ink after it is on paper, the water will cause the ink to run (even after it is dried).

Nope. There used to be a semi waterproof ink by Lamy (irongall I think), but it is not the ink that comes with it, and I am not sure it is available any longer. For waterproof needs I use Noodler's black, probably the most popular waterproof ink.

The nib and cartridge can be cleaned by flushing with water. H.O.D. will wash off of skin using soap and water. It must be water based. Once dry, this ink will not wash off cellulose based products such as paper. That is why the term "bulletproof" is given to this type ink. Being fade resistant, H.O.D. is also called "eternal." Check their website to find out the properties of H.O.D. Very good ink. I hope this helps.

Yes that is correct BUT the most important thing to know is that if you're going to use the colored ink also, the colors are terrible. They are faded and instead of the colors or black coming out solid its all faded dots that make up the colors that look like water colors (very very pale). Not worth it. Get the correct ink for your printer everything including the black will be much more vibrant and the ink will last 3 times longer. NO GENERICS

I currently use water-based markers just to be safe. However, discs I've had for two decades that were written on with a sharpie show and they no sign of deterioration. I'm not saying it's impossible for something in the ink to penetrate the disc's coating and cause damage, but I suspect people are being paranoid, and their disc failures are likely due to something else.

Tom: To be honest I do not know if thewy can bve used. I only know that i will never use the Ink Kits again. It took me a long time before I could Print because of thhe Ink Kits.

I agree. The Blick Waterbased Printmaking Ink works best. However you can also add an acrylic extender into the Tempera and it works good too.

Yes, it is water-based. I checked with my sister since I purchased it for her daughter.

I did a calligraphy wall plaque too.its a hoot.Drives ppl nuts."Why do you have a blank paper on the wall?"
