what kind of ink is this? i.e. india ink. Also, is it permanent?

Its is permanent, but I'm not sure that its India Ink. If you're looking to use it for art you can use it for that purpose, but I would recommend using a thick parchment or card-stock because it bleeds through certain other papers.

This is a medium to high grade ink for any type of pen with nibs. Stains the skin permanently so use an ink blotter. The colors are amazing and I can post a drawing when I get back from vacation if you want to see the vibrancy.

What I received is plainly marked "Dye Ink". It prints quite well for our needs in our HP Printers.

I generally use Levenger, in this pen I used the Noodler's Heart of Darkness (one of their bulletproof black inks). Wrote well with both. As for the Noodler's ink, if you are sloppy when filling pens, don't try it, it is truly permanent.

These cartridges actually have a hybrid ink. The ink has the longevity of a pigment based ink and the bright crisp color of a dye based ink. We hope this was helpful. Please let us know if there are any further questions. Thank you - Northland Wholesale

Yes it is. That is what I bought it for. You shouldn't be dissapointed. Great ink at a fair price.

Probably a good question for Sophia Global. However, I have some unopened waiting to use, and the ink is still quite 'fluid'. Hope this helps.

You are right; permanent, not erasable. If you want something permanent, this writes nice and smooth, but if you want erasable, find something else!

Gosh wish I new. My printer is a M1212nf by HP. I will say this is the longest lasting ink cartridge I have every bought.

It fills with either standard cartridges (long or short, both fit fine) or can use a converter (included) with your choice of bottled ink. As for which ink to use and what's best, that is widely debated and comes down to personal taste. My personal favorite is Waterman "Serenity Blue" (formerly "Florida Blue"). To me, it has the richness I'm looking for without being too dark for my taste. Most fountain pen ink is water-based and is considered "washable" - something to consider if you're writing checks with it. If you want PERMANENT ink that's wash-proof, you can get that as well. But you'll need to be especially careful not to let the ink dry inside the nib or section. No amount of soaking in water will fix it.

No. Permanent blue is a royal blue. This is a more nuanced blue-black, but it is not permanent ink.

It come with starter ink. I used it for about a month or two then had to put new in.

Oh, I don't have that kind of a printer. :) I only know I love this ink and have never had any problems with it! "Best to you."

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.

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?

Not well. I think it's a water-based ink. It is kind of splotchy on most plastic - and ....I just tried wetting my finger after it dried for 5 minutes and could easily wipe the ink off the plastic. Then I tried a red and a blue "Sharpie" brand permanent marker - the most common type of permanent felt tip marker pen - and couldn't remove the mark after it dried for a minute. However, the calligraphic pen is permanent on paper - and the pens stay good for years - sometimes even surviving when they are left uncapped for a while. And their chisel points keep a nice shape too. Makes average handwriting - like mine - look fantastic. enjoy, Roger L. Not well. I think it's a water-based ink.

I have had this problem before with ink I purchased from Sam's Club. I brought back the ink and they replaced it. Appears to be some type of problem with who's making the ink. I guess you'll have to contact the person you purchased the ink from and go from there. It's a real pain but there is not other choice. You may want to bring the ink to a store and see if they will replace it. I'm sure you (I) are not the only ones with this problem. The larger stores will know about it, just hope they own up to it.

Mine was liquid; it was a little thicker but definitely not paste. Reminded me of India Ink
