What is up youtube, Sciz1 here. Today we're going to take a look at how well
the on the run flow pen ink here stains a surface
and drips doing some graffiti tags, doing a tagging test on a smooth
surface. First i'm going to be giving you the information you're going to want to
know about the flow pen ink and then we'll head over to our
testing area to catch some tags with the flow pen ink in these
soul tip .006 graffiti mops. And yes the soul tip 006, they are the
same as the otr soul tip 007s, just a smaller marker body. So if you do
want to take a look at an actual review of
the mop itself, you can check that out in the top right hand corner in the cards.
This ink comes in 200 milliliter bottles
and costs you about 13 US dollars. It comes in a few different colours, more than most
inks and it emphasizes its permanence.
Although, it doesn't say it's a bleed through ink, we are also going to test
the bleed through capabilities during our tagging test just to be thorough
because you never really know. These inks could be more valuable than
they even claim. I will leave a link down below in the
description to where you can buy this ink if you do think it's a good buy
after our tagging test gives it a bit of a chance to shine. But let's
head over to the testing area and get right to it and see how this ink
performs. Okay so welcome to our testing area. This
is where all the magic happens. This is where we see if
a lot of the graffiti mops, graffiti products, stand up to the test of actual
usage or if they're not so great. So as you can see behind me here i have
a nice white surface for us to test on today. You might notice
a bit of bleed through here. That's actually from
my mighty marker review that I did. This is an incredible bleed through ink. I
would recommend you check that out. There's a link in the corner where the
cards are for that one. But of course what we're gonna do we're gonna tag some
subscribers' names who asked for hit offs on this white surface,
see how this writes, how the ink operates and then after that we'll test the
staining capabilities just by going over it with some white paint and
seeing if we get any bleed through effect at all.
And i'm going to tell you right now from using this before we are going to see a
bit of bleed through. So stick around for that. I managed to fill these two mops up
without too much spill. You might want to use
gloves when you're filling small mops up like this.
And I mean, if you use my funnel technique it doesn't have to be a messy
process. Let me know if you guys want a video on
how i fill my mops up! One thing i do want to mention though:
after you fill your mop up, what you want to do is actually take a towel and
just dry off the threads of your cap and the inside of your cap the threads. You
want to get all the ink out of there because that way when you recap it
you're not going to have issues of it solidifying and the cap being super hard
to get off. It's just a nice way to stop that from happening.
But let's get to it!
All right, so let's start off with the 006 mop here,
just the normal nib, not the rollerball, and we'll just see what kind of control
we can get with this ink and how it looks.
Peko wanted to hit off so let's get Peko a hit off.
That's a pretty bad hit off, sorry about that. But right away you can
see a bit of like colour variation in the ink.
That's the kind of thing i love about using inks, you get a bit of colour
variation and to me that's really nice.
Enok wanted to hit off. Let's see what we got for Enok here.
The surface is getting pretty rough now that it's as old as it is.
Yeah let's see if we can get some drips here. -there we go
Yeah a lot of people love the inks specifically for drips so although i'm
not a super big drippy guy, i'm gonna try and do some tags with the
drips just to show you guys its capabilities here.
And specifically when we start to use the rollerball here you'll really really
see the the dripping capabilities. First though, Snotman wanted to hit off.
It's been so long since i've used any ink at
all. Let's get him again up here i just want to take a minute to give you
guys a bit of a close-up of sort of the ink colouring that we're
getting here. i know there's a bit of variation in the white
background that i that i put down but also just
look at that ink, the way it settles in and everything is
extremely nice in my opinion. These rollerballs, i'm
not ever a fan of using rollerball with ink but
some people really like it. I don't know let's just try a good
one liner here.
there we go.
that's more what i'm talking about. Let me just drop another couple
one-liners here.
So now let's put a couple things down that we're going to actually try and
cover up here and see if we have any bleed through capability whatsoever
on here.
Okay so we've let this ink settle into the surface just a little bit
and now what i want to do is just put a layer of this flame orange over it and
see if it bleeds through at all.
Nice, granted the ink is still a little bit wet so that helps it bleed through
but i mean initially that's a really nice
ghost that we're seeing there. i'm gonna wait a few minutes and then we're gonna
try another layer and see if we get some better results
trying to cover it. Otherwise though, this is looking quite good. All right so it's
been close to five minutes now. I'm just gonna try
another quick layer over the otr tag see if anything remains after
i sort of got better results that i'm trying to cover it up
but there is still definitely a very clear ghost of the otr there and
that shows you how strong this ink is. It emphasizes permanence,
it doesn't place an emphasis in the sort of specifications of it that it does
bleed through, but clearly it leaves a nice ghost on a acrylic based paint when
you're trying to cover it up with that. so that's always nice.
and again i'd like to point out that there's some really great colour
variation. I really like that. That's one of the main draws for me personally of
using an ink. So now comes the time where i want to give you sort of my overall
thoughts about this ink and where i think it stands compared to some
other graffiti inks on the market. Price wise, it's certainly far from the
best but it's also far from the worst. It's sort of middle of the pack. As far
as quality goes i think it's a very very high quality
ink. Of course you do have to like using ink more than say
paint in mops and that sort of thing but if you are the type of person that
likes to do tags with ink and that kind of thing,
then i think you are going to really like this product. You might want to try
it out, might want to pick some up. That's what i always say: the best way to figure
these things out is just by picking some up for yourself
and trying it out. That being said, if you do want to see some other reviews of
some inks on the channel here. I would really recommend the mighty
marker im17 was was what the marker was. But it has
specifically a bleed through ink and it's performed incredibly well in that
review so go check that out. We've got lots of
other reviews that we do here on the channel.
I show some of my work on the channel. We have a graffiti freight train watching
series, Lots of other stuff. Check it out if you
want! Until my next one, peace!
