    Which ink last the longest?!?

    I have been trying a lot of different brand of ink and most only last 1 - 2 hours on court, which is terrible
    Normal I will use black yonex ink and they seems the best, but Yonex only have balck and red, I'm looking to get white and blue ink, have anyone tried any brand that will last for a good period of time??

    Thanks guys ​

    watdon is cheap but black will only last a week at the most
    white lasts a bit longer but uses a lot more than the black to make a good image.

    i think its more time allowed to set, if i stencil a racket and put it in my bag and dont use it for a week it lasts much longer

    Is there really any difference between these inks? I've been assured by various people that the ink in a Yonex bottle is the same as that in a no-name bottle (but the Yonexness causes a strange jump in price...).

    Personally I use Watdon's stuff - it's cheap enough for you to reapply it if you're that concerned about longevity. (I do agree that a partly-erased logo is worse than no logo at all, though:D).)

    Mark do you find different colours last different lengths of time?

    white and black from watdon are completely different consistency

    White is a bad one - goes on hit-and-miss (as though it hasn't been mixed properly) and flakes off very easily. Black and red, OTOH, seem to be rock solid, black especially. I haven't tried blue or silver yet, and the point of the silver eludes me:).
