What Paint company do you think makes the best set of inks? Citadel, Vallejo Model, Valejo Game, Reaper Master Series? Looking to pick up a set of new inks.

Don't limit yourself just to the 'gaming companies'. There are a wide variety of artist's inks out there...FW for instance.

I have a set of the old GW inks (and they still work great) but I also have plenty of artists inks from my drawing days. From a user standpoint I can tell no appreciatable differences. Maybe someone else knows more about the chemical makeup....

don't really use inks apart from basing, I've heard good things about Windsor and Newton inks though

Sorry I can't help you as I have a deep-seated belief that inks are the tools of the devil and they are all out to get me.

Really! I opened a bottle of ink once and it jumped right out at me! Went everywhere except on the mini I had plnned to put it on.

Evil, I tell you, EVIL!

Ive stuck with GW inks but I havnt had to replace any yet. I mainly just use then for washes on metal and glazes on regular skin,cloth ect

I havn't used inks for ages now, they got annoying, just prefer washes and glazes now.

I sometimes add a touch of brown ink to reds and other colours to deepen them a bit.
