    Ya illadel is pretty good ink, i've tried red, violet, green, and the green paint. The ink colors don't fade from what i've seen. Have tags that have been up 3 or more months in direct sun, stains decent to. Still waiting to try the black label but from the looks of it, it's gonna be great.

    edit: get it from the illadel website in my signature if you do cop it because they have better colors and prices.

    O cuase I heard it wasn't good at all.
    Nah I was just wondering I just stick to making
    my own inks and don't bother buying shit
    besides garvey and oink.

    illadel violet works just like garvey, but has a longer outdoor life. and the black label works great, if any of you tried the otr coldsweat ink... it has the deep black color, stains well, consistency is perfect, its fairly hard to buff. and idk about fade resistance but its such a deep black, i don't think its gonna fade for a long long time

    Wow,
    this has come up SO many times.
    Parker Quink is pretty much garbage.
    Their older inks were alcohol based and decent,
    but all the new stuff is "eco-friendly"
    not worth shit.

    I'm gonna do a buff test with Parker Quink on a powerbox tonight, I'll tag it and then come back later and see if I can rub it off with snow(which we regretfully have). So I'll let everyone know how it holds up.
