Easy flowing, wet, classic black with a touch of shading, it's the best behaved ink I have, in any pen, vintage or modern. I love the 100ml option- thanks Goulet crew!!!

Dead black

Have used this in dip pens for some time. Really liked its dense black color and the ways it writes. Decided, for now:), to make it my go-to black for cylinder fill pens.

Best All Round Black

This is an excellent Black Ink. Probably the best all round black ink there is. However it is not Bulletproof. Do you really need bulletproof? It's pretty gentle and easy to clean, safe for vintage pens. It works pretty well on cheap paper like a school refill, 20 lb uncoated copier paper or a Moleskine so long as you use a Japanese fine or medium nib. Not quite as good as Noodler's black there and there is more showthrough but that should be expected because it's also blacker than Noodler's black. Works really well on high quality paper though it doesn't have quite as much of the smoothness you get with a highly lubricated black like Aurora black. It's easier on your pen than either of those. It's a very black black. A 100 ml bottle of Perle Noir from Goulet Pens is an absolute fantastic deal

FAQs about Bottled Ink

Which pens can accept this ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Any of these fountain pens will work with bottled ink. Typically, as long as the pen can be filled with a converter, has a built-in filling mechanism like a piston, or can be eyedropper-filled, it can accept bottled ink.

What is shading, sheening, or shimmering ink? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Shading - A common (and often desired) result of a fountain pen ink pooling in certain parts of a letter when writing, so that the color and saturation of the ink appears different within a single letter or word. This characteristic cannot be achieved with ballpoint or rollerball pens and is a very appealing aspect of fountain pen use for those particularly drawn to all the pretty ink colors.

Sheen - Characteristic of a fountain pen ink where when ink pools another color can be seen on top of the ink, especially when looked at in different light angles using certain paper types. There is no way to guarantee an ink will sheen, but using a larger nib on a pen will help obtain sheening results in your writing.

Shimmering - Fountain pen ink that has small particles of glitter mixed in.

Is shimmering ink safe to use in fountain pens? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes! Shimmering ink is a great way to add some flare to your writing. We have found that a larger nib will showcase more shimmering particles while writing, but you can use any nib size and shimmering ink. All the ink we sell is safe for use in fountain pens.

You can learn more in our blog: How to Write with Shimmering Ink.

My ink smells funny, is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Generally yes! Ink does not smell good- it usually has a chemical smell, along with other scents such as sulfur, rubber, chemicals or even paint. However, as long as you’re not seeing anything floating in the ink, it should be safe to use.

It’s cold and my ink froze; is it safe to use? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

Yes, frozen ink will not hurt your pen (after it’s thawed of course!) The issue with ink freezing is primarily a concern because certain glass bottles could break as the water-based ink expands, and then you’d have a mess!
