Product Description
Crafted using traditional Japanese dye-making techniques, these Kyo-Iro inks are inspired by places of cultural and historical significance around Kyoto—once the nation’s capital city. Water based and presented in 40-milliliter glass bottles, they offer excellent flow and are resistant to feathering and bleed-through Read More
The price is good but I live in areas where temperature is reasonable cold to order inks. my last jHerbin shipment had Leaking ink 😳 not ordering this time. Although I would have loved to. Why doesn’t Massdrop consider those do not freeze labels on ink packages ?! A few Pen retailers do it for their ink shipments
This is a pretty good price for the .Kyo-Iro ink collection. Currently $28./bottle at Vanness and $21.50/bottle at Jet Pens. I found these inks to be well behaved...good flow and lubrication, fast drying, no feathering and gentle on my pens. I typically use White Lines/Black ‘n’ Red notebooks. I’ll try to post swabs of these inks for you. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend
I don’t usually chime in... I usually either laugh or cringe over such things.
I actually came to the discussion page to ask if any one had used the inks, how do they perform, ask if they could post a swab... the usual stuff.
Was a bit surprised to see someone respond to a simple question. That one was uncalled for and served no purpose.
Well I couldn’t leave a pen pal hanging.
What is the status of this drop? My order set with estimated shipping date December 12th 2017. It is almost one month overdue and I'm not receiving any updates.
Received 'Moonlight of Higashiyama' instead of 'Stone Road of Gion' :-/
It is a nice color, yes, but still... I was hoping to get something within the boundaries of 'professionally-acceptable' colors.
Hmm, yet another ink drop (teehee, sorry) that hugely overstates the RRP to make the drop look good. Jetpens has these inks at US$21.50 a bottle, Rakuten at AU$17.50 (that’s about $13 US) not $30 a bottle. It’s still a bit of a discount but I’d rather pay a little more to a) get the colours I want, and only the colours I want and b) pay my money to people who are honest to us. I don’t see these overblown RRPs in other communities, why so often here?

The inks I wanted are already sold out. There is no mention on the description page of these items being limited in number. C'mon, guys. You do this for other drops. Why not let us know for this drop? You guys need a supervisor or editor. So many descriptions in various drops leave out important information. It's like you just cut and paste info without bothering to think about it.
