Product Description
Dr. Ph. Martin's Bombay India inks offer powerful color in a convenient dropper-stopper glass bottle. These highly pigmented India inks not only remain lightfast and permanent, but are also totally waterproof when dry. They adhere to nearly all surfaces and are non-clogging when used in pens. Inks can be diluted with water and used with brushes in traditional watercolor techniques or in dip pens, technical drawing pens, and airbrushes. All colors are brilliant and transparent, except black and white, which are opaque and have excellent covering power. Each set includes 12 different colors in 1.0 oz (30 ml) glass bottles with droppers and a custom mixing palette. Available in 24 colors.

I know some artists are purists and work solely in the medium they picked for a composition, but I'm pretty much "mixed medium" at best. My goal has always been "to show people the world as I see it," so I'm always a fan of being true to that instead of a particular medium.
I hope to buy a couple more of this inks later on. In my book, it's a good value for the money spent.
To its credit, if you're drawing over a cross-hatched outline and getting rid of very fine black lines, it works pretty well. If you're hoping to draw over solid black and get solid white, not going to happen.
To follow up: I suggest you go out and buy that Posca white marker if you want a low-profile, mostly white covering. Downside is the lines will be thicker than the ultra fine scratch lines you can get with an ink pen, but the Posca tips are pretty small and could theoretically achieve the cross hatch effects you want. It will just take a lot of black ink, dry, white posca marker, dry, black fine touch ink...which builds up material and is unfortunate. There's gotta be a better way, but until someone comes up with white india ink that no matter how little you use, WILL make a surface pure white, you're stuck with this for small errors, and Posca markers for big ones.
Still a valuable part of anyones' art supplies, but not the cure all miracle I was under the impression it'd be. Thank you anyway.
