Pentel Arts Pocket Brush Refills, Black Ink, Value Set of 12

Excellent ink. The only ink i use for comic board art

This ink is fade , water and alcohol (Copic or any marker) resistant. It's also a dark black. Not as dark as Dr. Ph. Martin's Black Star India Ink. But trying to find other inks the match up to this is kind of impossible. Not even Platinum Carbone Ink(it's not fade resistant but water and alcohol resistant) can match up. Yes it's not a bottle of ink which will save you more money BUT it's a great Investment.

How can you ever go wrong with these refills? From my personal favorite pen & ink company. Always quality products, although I only use 5-6 of their products, they've all been on target. Price is always good & not so high you want to buy the knockoff inks available. Get this, it's quality, from a long standing company who is tops in the game. Pentel Brush Pen for life!!!

Great as always! Smooth, easy to install, and an all-time favorite art product of mine.

Really high quality, high quantity, and GREAT price if you use a pentel pocket brush pen and live somewhere that charges this price for only 4 cartridges. $8-$9. Haven't seen it drop past 7.50 if I'm remembering correctly.

The -Pentel Pocket Brush Pen- is great and sells at a good price. I have been using mine for 4 years without it losing its shape or spring. I can still make thin, sharp, consistent strokes just as nice as the first day I got it. Many of my friends use it: artists, illustrators, and designes to sketch, draw, ink their comics, or just for Chinese calligraphy. Great HOWEVER Pentel's model here is similar to printer makers, where you don't pay much for the printer (pen), but end up spending a lot on the ink. It adds up quickly. I have tried other inks and adaptors, but nothing has given me good results. I wish these cartridges could be bought in much larger quantities, or were cheaper as I can go through one cartridge in a day of medium-heavy sketching. This of course will vary greatly from person to person, but it's worth considering that you'll be spending several times the cost of the pen. The ink is nice, it covers well and it's dark enough even on my brown paper sketchbooks. I like it much better than Kuretake's brush pen, which looks blue-green rather than black and it feels watered down. It's also not as strong as other calligraphy inks that overpower the page. So far price has been my only complaint, but it's the best option available today so I still buy it. If you're buying these extra cartridges you probably already knew all I just wrote, but I still hope my review can help anyone who's new and considering trying a brush pen.

Thats what she said

My review is really about the Pocket Brush, which is a minor miracle when sketching. I do wish the ink didn't have to "cure" for a while before getting wetted with watercolor, but since I know how it works I can accept it.

Ce sont bien les cartouches que je voulais

Aún no los he probado, pero de acuerdo a lo que investigué en la web, son originales. Después de probarlos actualizaré mi reseña.

Conforme au descriptif et adapté à ce que je cherchais 👍

I am a regular user and massive fan of Pentel's Pocket brush pens and I have a black ink and sepia ink version. The black ink one was running out and so I knew I needed to order some more from somewhere. A lot of the UK suppliers were charging a prohibitively high price, which I couldn't see was justified. Luckily there is this supplier but the downside is they ship from Japan so you will wait longer for them to arrive. I didn't have to wait too long and the timing was excellent as my last remaining cartridge gave up the ghost as these were delivered. For those who don't know, the ink in these cartridges is Pentel's permanent ink and it is rich, dark black, pretty quick drying and very water-resistant, meaning you can use it with watercolours etc. The only comparable pens and ink in my opinion would be Kuretake's, though their permanent ink cartridges (as supplied with the No.85 brush pen) are impossible to buy here and are not as water-resistant as Pentel's anyway. You can apparently use Platinum carbon ink cartridges (which are very water-resistant) in the Kuretake's but I haven't tried that yet. The photos are of drawings using the Pocket brush pen and the ink in these cartridges with Pentel's colour brush pens. If you have a Pentel Pocket brush pen (and why wouldn't you?) then you will need new cartridges before too long and if so these are, according to my research, the best price per cartridge.
