Very ugly

This is the ugliest shade of black I can remember seeing.

Great dark grey lubricated ink

Great flow of the ink and presence of lubricant make nib sliding very smoothly. In other aspects ink similar to Noodler's Black, except color. It's more dark grey rather that black. Intensity of color similar to Platinum Black

Nice True Black

This is a solid, true black ink. Much darker and more consistently black than Noodler's Black, which seems to trend towards a lighter black, verging on dark grey. Well behaved in both of my pens fitted with Extra Fine nibs (TWSBI Eco, Lamy Al Star).

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill my fountain pen from an ink sample vial? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

The technique depends on the fountain pen's filling mechanism.

Check out our blog post on How to Fill a Fountain Pen from an Ink Sample Vial, or watch the video here:

How much writing can I really do with 2ml? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

We find that usually you can get 2 good fills for a typical converter with our ink samples, or one good fill with a large capacity piston-filling pen.

How much writing you can do depends on you more than anything else. It mostly depends on how big or small you write, and the nib size you’re using. We recommend experimenting with different nib sizes to find what works best for you.
