on saleSailor Kiwaguro Pigmented Black - 50ml Bottled Ink

This black has been my standard black since I first tried it over a year ago. It stays black over time. It has a lovely flow. You can get away with using it on paper not meant for fountain pens, like bank checks and copy paper.

This is an awesome ink. I put in my black Mountblanc pen and it work great. Very well behaved and does not bleed even with cheep paper. It is a pleasure to use. Extremely water proof, the paper will disintegrate before the ink goes away. It can be smudged, more like than Platinum's Carbon ink. But I found the ink for my MB pen. Looking for a useful permanent black that you can use professionally this is it. s

Currently using this ink my Pilot Custom 74. It literally feels like I'm writing on ice; the pen glides across the page with no feedback, and this is with a fine Japanese nib.Not sure if this is normal for pigment inks as this is my first, but it is very well behaved. I have yet to have any issues with clogs either.

This has been my go-to everything-proof black for years now. There's simply nothing better at what it sets out to do.

This was a gift for our grandson, who is a novice with a fountain pen. He declared this is the finest pen he owns. Pen was shipped quickly and arrived in impeccable condition. Please accept our thanks for the precise way the order was handled. Thank you!
