Where I buy daytone ink ink?

[@maheshbhansali7248]

One wonders why you have done this video without examining Daytone ink? Also why you are not saying that Parker Ink is why priced more. Why you are not examining other inks available online like Bril?Suleka and few more?

[@trussgrey1709]

As of September 2021: Daytone costs Rs40 Camlin costs Rs20 Parker costs Rs80 All these inks are just fine, not great not terrible. There are superior quality inks in the market but they come at a premium. For the price, these inks are pretty good.

[@Harikrishna-kt6po]

[@avinashprasad2535]

@@Harikrishna-kt6po pilot 's blue and black are pretty damn great , but they come at around ₹300. They are very water resistant as well tho, which is something that no other ink in that price range offers.

[@vijaybhaskar_25]

Inks are nice, they are not cheap they are affordable

[@vipoolgandhi]

Agree.

[@lakshmidevi0123]

yes bro

[@GaemerGupt]

They are cheap. They can used for months or even years and if you compare them to other foreign inks they are so cheap.

[@nanjappa42]

Interesting. Camlin ( Kokuyo Camlin now) costs Rs.25 for the bottle of 60 ml in the neighbourhood shops. On line, they charge much more. Daytone is available in a superior version also- priced higher. It is not available in local shops- we have to order online for a bundle of 15 colours. One common problem with all blue inks in India is that they are not bluish enough! Quink royal blue is washable- the writing will fade after some time. You have not considered one old Indian brand: Bril. Bril has been in the market since around 1964. I am using this ink since 1964. It flows free, dries quick, does not clog or dry in the pen. I have used this ink on all sorts of pens and filling systems- it has done well. You should try this ink also, as also Sulekha from Kolkata. It is also a famous brand of India.

[@Pentrove]

Thanks for the comment sir, definitely will try brill. It is not available in my location. Will order online. Also I am keen to get my hands on Sulekha Inks, any Idea where can I order it? It too is not available at my location.

[@nanjappa42]

@@Pentrove You can order Bril ink online from: brilindia.com. They have inks of 8 colours. Each bottle of 60ml costs Rs.25 . It would cost much more on other eshops. But the minimum value of the order on bril online is Rs. 500. So you may visit their web site and see.all their products. Sulekha is available only in Kolkata. It was a well respected brand- used by many national leaders in the past. The company went through some problems. It is reported to have revived its ink business. You may have to get Sulekha ink through your friends in Kolkata.

[@srinivaskommireddy6266]

@@Pentrove Bril inks can be ordered at www.penhouse.in. They charge shipping which is through DTDC. They are very efficient and customer friendly. No minimum order size. Other than the mass market fountain pen brands they currently also carry Gama, Kanwrite and Airmail/Wality pens. They carry the super premium brands as well. They also have a physical shop at Tambaram, Chennai.

[@geevarjos7054]

Daytone has water resistance to a certain extent, Parker Quink doesn't have that. So, Daytone can be considered for fine and extrafine nibs since it would also have negligible bleed through and feathering.

[@JohnR-fc7vr]

In India why is the entire mass so over-obsessed with water resistance? 1) Think about the flow also. Which ink won't clog the pen. 2) Which ink will flow smoothly. Which will make the pen write smoothly. 3) Which will make it rough. Which one clogs the pen after few days. Are these questions not important? Think whether you are okay with an ink which is water resistant but it will leave a residue and spoil your pen is it.

[@nitina8564]

I haven't used Dayton inks so i wouldn't comment on that, however if you want to use athe parker quink then go for the black ink it is a better option, as for the blue it flows and perform really well and better than much more expensive inks in all the pens i have tried but the main problem is the colour its not the best blue and it fades in a few days and doesn't look good at all. If someone is searching for an Indian made blue ink try Krishna lyrebird inks, they are really good. If you want cheaper options then Bril is a good choice.

[@sidyboyz]

Agreed word to word

[@helcurt2509]

Why don't you mix 3 parts of blue and 1 part of Black parker ink? I do it it is the perfect dark blue shade

[@nitina8564]

[@trussgrey1709]

There is feathering and bleed-through when used with Medium and Broad nibs. I'm more inclined to use Fine and Extra Fine nibs so the effect should be relatively lower.

[@excelhunter9195]

[@samvavdhal46]

I don't know why but whenever I use cmlin ink in a pen it skips ,but with different inks they work well.

[@kushalahegde6948]

Same here i don't know why...when I used Parker quink in my Parker pen (now i am using Camlin elegante)it was writing smoothly then I skipped to Camlin and it started bleeding or sometimes skip just like u said

[@GaemerGupt]

@@kushalahegde6948 that is because parker pens are specifically designed to work with quink. Same goes for the ink itself it's meant to be used in parker pens.

[@silverjinglebobspur1]

I like the slight purple edge of the chromatography of the Dayton. I believe Parker to be the same as Chelpark.

I am from Pakistan . I beleive the Camlin is a real royal blue or classic one .and your review I like it. Keep it up .Thanks .

[@vidur.vachan]

Sir you should have tested Bril Royal Blue ink as well. It also comes under Camlin price band. We should be proud that Indian makers have the capability to make affordable inks for students. Fountain pen is not just a hobby for the elite. Kindly address these inks as affordable.

[@Pentrove]

Sure, I did not had Bril at the time i created this video. Definitely i will create a video for Bril as well. And certainly these are affordable, my bad on that.

[@ujjalmajumdar618]

It is not an elitist hobby, you get what you pay for. These inks including Parker quink are quite dry. It is almost like you using a marker. I've used a quink black once. But it was more of a grey than a black.

[@unsleepingaspirant]

let's write the 100th comment - I appreciate your videos.. 👍❤️🙄

[@abcdefgh-rq3gq]

How the ink smells is also important. It is part of the experience. Which one smells best. Camlin smells toxic to me. How are the others?

[@Pentrove]

Usually, you can smell inks if you get too close to the wt ink. once dry they don't smell. And almost all Indian inks have a pungent smell.

[@etherealmonk007]

I use camlin ink with my parker beta and it doesn't have any smell. But when I used it with a pen called scout it stinks. The smell is not with ink. Its the problem of the pens material under the nib.i use Camlin, bril, and parker inks and they don't have any smell

Hey bro is the daytone blue better than camlin? I'm thinking to buy the 500 ml bottle of daytone. Is it a good idea?

[@Pentrove]

I feel daytone ink is less saturated than camlin, so it will tend to feather and bleed through. You will have to use good paper for daytone. 500 ml ink bottle will be big, till you can handle this big bottle with care it should be fine

Parker quink blue-black is not officially sold in India, thus he can't make that comparison unless he imports it, and that generally puts the cost upwards of 35-40usd , from what I've seen online though, the blue black quink is more favoured that the blue quink.

Liked the Daytone royal Blue. got a decent amount of water resistance, so i can write my notes without worries of a water spill! Do check them out if you are trying new inks! Edit: That there is probably some fungal growth in the ink. It may happen if the biocide in the ink is ineffective. I don't think it's advised to use that.
