This ink is FANTASTIC, not only does it posses all of the qualities it says it has (no bleed through, possess a rich and deep black color, no spreading, and the quality of paper does not matter) It also claims to be water proof. Where John whom was EXREAMLY knowledgeable helped me with excellent customer service that was not phony or pushy but truly genuine and wanted to make sure I got the right product. This was the ink that I purchased at castle in the air ( ) in Berkeley California. The only other ink that was said to posses all these qualities was Noodler’s Bulletproof BLACK EEL Fountain Pen Ink. It was said to not have any bleed through, possess a rich and deep black color, no spreading, and the quality of paper did not matter. This by far all the reviewers and other pen people said that aurora black ink is the gold standard that all other fountain pen ink is measured against. The first was the ink that everyone raved over called aurora black ink. There was a week of research that followed and there were two inks that I found to stand out on the pen websites and seemed to suit my needs. If you write in print, this in is ok but script/cursive it’s a very bad ink It seems to prefer lines that are vertical lines only. My script handwriting has lots of loops and quick dashes, with this ink, they all disappeared. The completely irritating quality of this ink was that it did not have a good flow at all. It also spread less than the Eternal but more than the quink. ![]() This ink was blacker than the Eternal but still grey compared to the quink. The box said that this ink was also good for use in calligraphy pens, fountain pens, art pens, and air brushing guns. The next ink I went to was Higgins Calligraphy black. It wrote and dried grayer than the quink black and bled through the lower grade paper and my journal pages and It also smeared. This ink was horrible, it spread more than the Quink ink that the pen came with. This ink said that it was good for use in calligraphy pens, fountain pens, art pens, and air brushing guns.ĭO NOT USE THIS IN YOUR FOUNTAIN PEN. After drying, it has a tendency to try a dark grey that gets lighter as the ink runs out. The other issue I had with this ink was that it was not a true black. The ink that came with it, Parker’s quink black, tends to spread after drying and bleeds through lowgrade paper (i.e copy paper, scraps, and notebook paper) but does not bleed through in my journal. I enthusiastically took to my journal and scraps of paper and was quite pleased.Ī few days had passed and the quality of the ink had become an issue. This had been reduced to more than half its original price, so it was a very good deal. ![]() It was the only one they had, and the woman said that they would not be carrying fountain pens anymore. After a few weeks of online searching, peaking in and out of different office supply shops I came across this one here at office depot. If you have been following my tweets then you know that I have been wanting a Fountain Pen for sometime now. ![]()
