The ink just draws so well. It's smooth and one drop goes pretty far. I haven't tried any other brand, but I don't need to. I love this one.

I teach a summer art class for children and in that class we do crayon-ink-drawings because it is one of my favorite projects. Higgins Black Magic Ink is the best ink for this process because it is always reliably black and has good coverage. Excellent product!

Once this ink dries it is truly waterproof. It is good for washes as well. My only complaint is that the containers are not air tight and will dry out if not used within a couple of months.

I use this ink for my miniature painting, its great for Comic style/ Cell shading effects on minis, specially deep dark shadow areas.

There are a lot of inks on the market but I keep coming back to good ol' reliable Higgins Black Magic! Very high quality and very water resistant when dry. I keep two flasks of it on my art desk.. one full strength and one watered down so it produces a gray tone. Works perfectly. Higgins is awesome ink!

It's great - completely waterproof and a very manageable consistency which really glides across paper (of the correct thickness). Produces really smoothe lines which is what I'm looking for. I use it for the lineart for my cartoony watercolour illustrations and it works brilliantly. Dries down mostly matte which is what I'm looking for.

I like this ink, it is nicely pigmented, not greyish pale black. It has a nice, matte finish. Great for linework. It is waterproof as well so after it gets dry, you can do some colorwash or wet ink on top which is great.

Bought this for my Dad to use in his creative arts. He was pleased so I was pleased. That's it really.

It's nice ink yes and it even has a dropper which makes refilling my pens quick and easy. The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because for some reason it...bleeds? That's not quite right but it is as close as I can get to explaining it. It doesn't stay where I put it. After drawing something the line spreads out making it appear thicker than before. It doesn't happen on all paper, I tried it on different kinds after I noticed, so far it only seems to be my strathmore toned tan sketchbook. Maybe it's because of the way the fibers of the page are? But other than that I love it.
