    Not even. Flowpen ink is pretty, but totally not permanent. I've been looking into a cold sweat, or HTB, I hear they're decent.

    does any one else agree that the best ink is Pilot (alone and to mix with). It's super opaque and always cuts a nice brown stain on everything. Impossible to clean up. I've always thought it was the best for mops and markers.

    Also the "Mr. Black" inks (especially the red) are dope.

    True, and when I think flowpen, the first thing I think is shitty ink. It's not weatherproof, it doesn't cover well, and it doesn't hold against the buff, what good is it?

    pilots where its at. all you need is pilots and pentels for white tags. and garvey or marsh in a mop for drips but controlled drips. too many drips is tacky

    and culture fuck otr all together. get a pilot and your set

    I don't know man, I'm an outdoors kind of guy, so pilots don't really do it for me... but an empty flowpen with silver grog is champion. I was going to say that the only endearing quality of OTRs is the fact that they're more durable than the 2-way glue pens, or zigs.

    Pilot ink fades in the sun depending on the substrate, and theres really no flow control. as far as silver goes, grog is the best ive found. it's thin enough for a pump style marker, but it still covers, and is very weatherproof. I have tags up from last fall that still shine. It's enamel though, which means it's buffed with relative ease...

    Yeah I'm down with the weather resisting inks, and streaks for the most part. Not really a paint guy unless I have money for smash or a good bitumen mix. But as far as markers go I'm a mop guy.

    Chartpak, Prisma, Sharpies, Pilot Broads and Chisels, Copic, Itoya calligraphy markers, the best of the worst: Bic "Mark-it" markers are not that bad and you can steal them from anywhere. (not that I would do that or should you). They have like around sixty colors.

    For blending, try using a prisma or chartpak alcohol blender. It's a transparent marker that allows you to sort of "paint" with (any of the above alcohol based markers).

    Then there are paint markers, - Uni, Deco, Zig,..etc, but they don't really "blend"
