Dennis D. Grimes: Very good coverage comparable to other white India inks like Speedball. Bottle is easy to use with dipping pens, though some of the larger Speedball holders have tight clearance yet fit all the way to the bottom. Like James Bond's Martinis, be sure to shake well before using for maximum effect.

Vincent: I'm going to be blunt: I was a little let down with this ink. I was expecting I could use black india ink on paper, let it completely dry, and with one dip and one stroke, I could draw a perfect white line over that black ink. That is NOT what happens. This ink is surprisingly runny and somewhat transparent. When you draw one line over black ink, it leaves behind a watery cloudy grey color. For some detail work, this is actually pretty great, but I was expecting solid white, and I did NOT get that. I need to draw over the same line 2 or 3 times (letting the original dry completely first) before it'll leave pure white lines covering the black india ink.
To its credit, if you're drawing over a cross-hatched outline and getting rid of very fine black lines, it works pretty well. If you're hoping to draw over solid black and get solid white, not going to happen.
To follow up: I suggest you go out and buy that Posca white marker if you want a low-profile, mostly white covering. Downside is the lines will be thicker than the ultra fine scratch lines you can get with an ink pen, but the Posca tips are pretty small and could theoretically achieve the cross hatch effects you...

Samuel Tijerina: These inks are the best in the business. East on, fairly quick dry time, clear, and vibrant.

Belinda Bright: I mostly work in watercolor, with a little colored pencil thrown in for good measure. I often work with several mediums. It depends on my mood and the subject of my work. I have always been frustrated when it came to watercolor and white. Yes, I do attempt to save my whites, but sometimes you need to add a highlight or a sparkle that wasn't accounted for in the planning phase. This ink is absolutely wonderful. It allows me to add that tiny spot of white here or there, dries very quickly, and shows up just the way I wanted it to while painting.
I know some artists are purists and work solely in the medium they picked for a composition, but I'm pretty much "mixed medium" at best. My goal has always been "to show people the world as I see it," so I'm always a fan of being true to that instead of a particular medium.
I hope to buy a couple more of this inks later on. In my book, it's a good value for the money spent.

Sam Ramos: This is nice ink which covers well and is easy to use. It is a little thick for my taste, so I pipette a drop into a little tray and water it down very slightly.
It can be used as a brush wash for interesting effects and also works well with a dip pen. I also noticed that it dries much quicker than my other inks.
I might try another brand next time, but I’m happy enough to use this up first.

Kirk Warren: Best white opaque ink you can buy. I love the eye dropper cap. Can drop right on to the nib. When you get used to it, you know exactly how much ink your nib has and there's no wiping it off on old denims or testing it on scrap paper every time you dip the nib with normal inkwells. Option still there for those that prefer that tried and true method.
