For those who are interested, a new video y'day all about the better black inks for fountain pens. Yeah, I know. But some folks are interested in this stuff! youtu.be/rZdGcpVEs-E #fountainpens #penandink #blackink #writing

There are lots of good black inks out there. I did a similar video a couple years back, and I look forward to seeing what you picked. I’ve really been liking the Dr PH Martin’s Dark Matter black. It’s pigmented and very well-behaved. www.docmartins.com/products/oce...

Especially enjoyed the Diamine black comparisons.

Mine is Koh-i-Noor Fountain Pen Black, it is very black slightly shiny and flows perfectly. But it is hard to find. You can order direct from the K-i-N website. But the postage is high. (Picture is the Blue version)

Many thanks for that - I'll have a hunt for it!

I found it first on a business trip to Budapest…

One of those countries I've always wanted to visit. Maybe next year!
