How To Spot Fake Kuro Sumi

Not too long ago Dave Muller published an article to help buyers spot fake Kuro Sumi Color ink bottles. As a supplement to his article, which you can read in Intense! Ink Mag, I "invested" in a set of fake Kuro Sumi Color from a known counterfeits distributor to compare the authentic with the fakes. What I've come up with is an additional article with some more in-depth measures to spot fakes and avoid purchasing from counterfeiters. I hope this is helpful!

That was some good info. Thanks! Had me checking all my Kuro Sumi! Guess I was fortunate.

I have seen those plastic wrapped packs of 7 fake Kuro Sumi ink on ebay. I decided I won't buy any ink from from ebay, except from an actual store that sells on ebay.
