ColorverseInk - The Mini Collection - 3 Pack - 5ml Fountain Pen Ink Bundle - #23 Photon, #63 Map of Mars, & #11 Morning Star

I don't have anything to compare this to, it's my first ink purchase. It seems like good ink. No problems, doesn't clog the pen, the bottles are easy to hold and each one comes with a refill tool. The bottles are small but the ink lasts a long time so it's a good value. The packaging is designed to hold all three bottles so they stay together. I like the darker ink so I mix these colors together sometimes. This set is helping me learn what I like. That's the purpose of a sample set and it's doing its job. They're all nice colors.

The inks are stunning, they have a nice variation and the colors are true. I have been busily buying up the mini collections because I wanted to try them out. Gorgeous, smooth and easy to use in a variety of pens. I've used them in my Pilot's and my cheap knock offs and they are fabulous. Now if they are so good why did I give them a three star review...Because they smear so bad if they get any water or liquid near them. They are horrible don't matter how dry they are or anything. It's heartbreaking to see the words on the page smear to nothingness. If you are really careful and never spill anything near your work. The colors are great. If you are a person who has the occasional accident around your work steer clear. It has nothing to do with the product that I truly think is one of the best color carriers anywhere, but the smearing oy!!!Such heartbreak.
