Hi there. Is this ink waterproof, once dry? Has anyone used it for under-painting? Thanks.

Yes, it is waterproof once it completely dries. Don't use leftover or overnight ink. Use fresh ink and avoid too thick built-up.

how many bottles in one pack?

It is 1 bottle, they do not come in packs.

Can i use this ink with a dip pen (Gnib)?

Yes but Daiso is not a good brand, it's the Japanese $1 store. Kaimei brand sumi ink is very good for dip pen.

is this oil based? I want to use it doing suminagashi

Thank you for your question.This item is made of water.
