"Is it worth it?" Depends on how soon you need it. It took three months to 5 months for the pens I ordered off WISH to reach me. Even if "Free Plus Shipping" it isn't "worth it" if you need it NOW, rather than 5 or 6 months from now.
Good review! That inconsistency of the green ink, as annoying it may be when drawing, is seen as a plus for writing, and is called 'shading'. I would suggest that you would do both drawing and writing tests to address the needs and curiosity of the artist and writing communities.
I have the blue and the black Karkos. Zero issues, have it in many knock of Safaris and miscellaneous fountain pens and in my TWSBI 580 with a fine nib.
ink isn’t just ink. There are many different “recipes” and types of ink. I’ve had problems in the past with unknown (and even known) inks, with staining of the pen, ink developing mold and even inks that reacted with the pen material itself. A quick writing test can only yield a thimble full of intel.
With that small amount of ink, the water in it could make soak through more. Interesting reviews, haloing and shading are liked by many. Thank you for sharing this video
when the light hit the silver nib i think it showed a slight purple base in it. i also like this ink so far. i will order the black bcuz of this video . thanks
You might want to try Noodler's X-Feather ink. It cuts down on the feathering you're seeing in your drawings. It's good for cheap, more absorbent papers.
I have a blue Karkos and it is very good. Good hiding, flow and lubrication. I gave $ 2 for 30 ml! For the money, it's great ink. Blue, smells good like ink.

Muy buena review, y muy buenos colores para unas tintas tan baratas.
Gracias hoy si me anime a comprar esa tinta para mi pluma.
Had the karkos black,it wasn't bad but i gifted it.
I like the black but I got mine from eBay and it took a few weeks
Thank you sir
Does it smell like shoe black polish
What about water resistance
washes right off. it's water based so there's no water resistance. does not damage or clog the pen.
very watery ink, not good for cheap paper
