Just like all Pilot markers, the Pilot Jumbo is an awesome tool for writing. This marker is another true classic, and for good reason. The ink in this marker (found in the Pilot refill bottles) is super opaque and pretty hard-to-buff. The Black is definitely the best color to get this in, and the Red/Green/Blue is a bit more transparent and easier to buff than the Black, but they do stand out a bit more on a wall filled with a ton of Black handstyles. This markers legacy pretty much speaks for itself, amazing buy and worth every cent.

This marker is a TRUE Classic. These markers have an EXTREMELY good flow, and all of the colors pop because of the awesome paint in it, and just like Talib Kweli states in "Subway Surfing", "A spraypaint alternative; getting up with Uni Markers they permanent", he was right, it is an extremely fadeproof, weather proof, permanent paint mixture. It does have a ball in it and it is refillable, a notable refill for it is watered-down Smash ink, which I've heard does excellent in it. I personally love the blue, and the only commonly encountered surfaces the Blue doesn't show well on is Blue Dumpsters and Blue Mailboxes since the color of the paint blends in with Blue on the Dumpster/Mailbox. Overall an AWESOME buy, I'd recommend it over any marker with similar body style as well (K71, Smashville Slugger/Smash KO Markers, etc).

For people who make their stuff at home, this mop is pretty much comparable to a Stampendous mop. However, going from a Stampendous mop to this is a huge upgrade, and if you can do good with a Stampendous you can probably do amazing with these. Unlike it's homemade counterpart, this mop feels as if it's made to be squeezed, and compared to the homemade counterpart it is so much easier to control the drips with. You can get clean tags with minor drips if you don't squeeze, and huge drips if you do. This mop also carries a decent amount of ink with it. A worthwhile buy and a definite upgrade from it's homemade version.

For anyone out there who usually homemakes their stuff, this mop is comparable to a TeeJuice mop or a Bingo Dabber mop. Just like it's homemade counterparts this mop is a compact mop that packs a large punch. It makes a nice smooth looking tag with extremely controllable drips. This mop will be a lot more controllable when it comes to drips than a TeeJuice or Bingo Dabber mop however, since the squeezability on it is a lot better. So if you're used to using those homemade mops, this might be something you might want to invest your money into, as going from using those to this is just like going from using Dollar Cans of paint to using Belton Molotow, if you've mastered the cheap cans and can do good with them, you can surely use Molotow and get even better than mastered results with it, the same applies here, if you can use one of those homemade mops and do good with it, you can use these and do better than good with it. Another HUGE plus on these is that you can replace the nib with a steeltip for only 1.99, giving you a dual purpose graff tool.

Although I have not used this mop or the Krink 4oz Mop specifically, I am assuming they take after what their design is based on: the infamous Shoe Polish Mop. Just like their ancestor the Shoe Polish mop, they make wide, thick, drippy tags if you squeeze, and wide, thick, drippy tags if you don't squeeze. That wasn't an error in my typing, what I'm trying to say is that unless you put a super thick ink or paint in one of these, you're going to have drips. Although the drips are smaller when you don't squeeze than when you do, getting clean tags with these is kind of hard to do, and really Shoe Polish containers were used as mops specifically for the fact that they do give drips, so if you're into cleaner tags I'd suggest you look somewhere else such as a marker or a mop that will deliver less drippy tags (AP Toxic Shocker looks to be a good mop that isn't super squeezable, giving it nice clean tags). The biggest setback with this mop, the Krink 4oz Mop, and Shoe Polish mops in general is the nib. Use it on a smooth surface and it will last you forever, but use it on rough surfaces and it will last you about 5 tags. Overall a good, classic marker in essence, but with a new spin on it.

DOPE Ink, the same ink you'd find in the Pilot Jumbo which is well known for being a classic, hard-to-buff, opaque marker. Not only is it great for refilling the Pilot Jumbo or other refillable Pilot markers (Or any refillable marker, really), but if you are into making your own homemade inks, usually you can make a soda bottle full of your own alcohol based pen ink, and if it turns out to not be as hard staining or as opaque as you thought it would be, or you just want that violet color to be a bit darker, you can always dump a bottle of this in there and it will make it just as hard staining as the Pilot Jumbo is (with the correct ratio, of course). Overall a great buy, and one of the best inks out there. Not only for refills, but also to mix with. Another relatively well known combination would be to mix it with Garvey, creating for either a Dark Violet or Pure Black ink with the opacity of the Pilot Ink and a combination of the "hard-to-buffness" from the Pilot Ink itself and the Garvey mixed in with it, because obviously if you add two hard staining inks together you get an even harder staining ink. Good luck trying to buff this one, guys.

Sakuras are an extremely dope streaker. They are more like a Meanstreak in texture than a Markal in the sense that it writes more like chapstick, whereas the the Markal writes a bit more chalkier. Overall, on a flat, smooth surface a Meanstreak or Sakura will be a lot easier to read than a Markal, but on rough surfaces like rusty metal or raw wood they will used up a lot faster than a Markal will, because of how soft they are.

These DecoColor ID's are just as reliable and dope as you'd expect them to be, coming from the makers of DecoColor liquid paint markers. The way they flow reminds me more of a Meanstreak or Sakura than it does of a Markal (More like butter/lipstick/chapstick, less like chalk). The only thing is that they are a bit shorter than the other 3 streaks mentioned. The real advantage to these however is that not only does ArtPrimo carry them, your local art stores are more likely to carry these than they are Sakuras, Markals, or Meanstreaks.

Dope outline cap. When it comes to Rusto and $1 cans with thin caps, you're pretty much limited to the German Outline 1 and NY Thin. And although the GO1 might be a bit more controllable, this is a true classic. Back in the day you used to be able to get these off of clear spray enamel cans, but they're a bit harder to find now. And just like it's obese older brother, the NY Thin flares like no other when it comes to thin caps.

The OG of fat caps. Although when it comes to coverage I prefer Rusto fats, when it comes to flares there's none better than the NY Fat. The only sad thing is that you can't use it with female Rusto cans, as it leaks. However, you can cut the stem off and drill into the cap with a 1/8 drill bit in order to make it fit onto a female can (Painters Touch, specifically, although I'm sure it would work on many others). For a video tutorial on that, just look for the "Art Primo Cap Sex Change" video. Awesome cap overall.

Extremely dope cap. Really nice coverage, and a line that's not too fat yet not too thin, it's just right. It's awesome for bombing as well as fat handstyles. Also, you can cut the stems off these and drill into the cap with a 1/8 drillbit to make it fit onto a female can (talking to you, Painters Touch users) just like you can with an NY Fat. A true bombing classic.

Dope cap. Pretty much turns your sh*tty handstyle into a dope calligraphy handstyle with little to no effort at all. Nice for fat, calligraphy styled tags. Also, unlike with the black one, you can also get decent flares with this cap. Flares and Calligraphy in your tag with just one cap? Yes please!
