Review: One of the best inks I’ve used so far - I desperately needed a better ink because the one I have been using flowed off the nib horribly. Deleter black inks are my new favorite for comic illustration. It is a little thicker than most inks I have tried, but it has a very rich black look to it. It flows off the nib beautifully, especially the nikko nibs, it seems to clog more easily on zebra nibs for me. If I notice the ink not flowing well, I just clean the nib in a cup of water, dry it, and continue drawing. I know some people may not like the thickness but you start to get used to it. I honestly would rather prefer a slightly thicker ink than one that drips off the nib easily. Overall, great product and worth the money🙂 Review: BEST INK!!! - This is my favorite black ink. It is so easy to write and draw with, but it does dry quickly. I keep a baby wipe/damp rag near me to wipe the nib of my pen occasionally during use. The color is SUPER pigmented, which I haven’t found in other brands for this price. Great price and experience with this ink! ## Features - Sumi type ink (Indian ink) / Glossy finish - Great for beginners / Flows well and easy to use - Works great with NEOPIKO-2 - Alcohol based marker proof - Great to cover over blue pencil draft lines ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0027OJHRO | | Best Sellers Rank | #48,789 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ( See Top 100 in Arts, Crafts & Sewing ) #78 in Drawing Inks | | Brand Name | Deleter | | Container Type | Bottle | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (2,404) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 04933465321068 | | Ink Color | Black | | Item Type Name | Ink | | Manufacturer | DELETER INC. | | Paint Type | Alcohol | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Volume | 30 Milliliters | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Deleter - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 04933465321068 - **Item Volume:** 30 Milliliters - **Package Information:** Bottle - **Paint Type:** Alcohol ## Images ![Ink (Black) 5 (Japan Import) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61M7sCbMX5L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ One of the best inks I’ve used so far *by M***E on September 20, 2025* I desperately needed a better ink because the one I have been using flowed off the nib horribly.

Great price and experience with this ink! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ works wonders with tachikawa dip pens *by A***R on July 28, 2025* not sure if the phrase “vibrant black” makes much sense, but this ink is JET black. excellent for someone like me, who loves ultra black, opaque inks. reacts well with water and isn’t hard to wash out of clothes. can be hard to get off wood if it sinks in too deep (though the wood my desk is made of isn’t actually finished). dries relatively quickly but can smudge if you’re not careful, just like any other dip pen ink. good for ink washing! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/17786958-ink-black-5-japan-import](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/17786958-ink-black-5-japan-import) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
