...because:+ it's pitch black, very saturated+ I had no ghosting, no bleeding, no feathering+ it dries quicklyEasily a new favorite!

Very pleasant experience, overall. Very smooth, very black, and well behaved. It would be perfect, except that it's got some heavy ghosting. If you can put up with that, this is an ideal black. I I should mention that

Convenient way to sample inks before making decision.

This is a very nice, dark, black ink. I think it's even a little darker than heart of darkness. The drawback is that if you spill drops of your drink on it, your writing is messed up. Otherwise it's good for note taking or other general writing.

I loved my first bottle of Borealis. It was very dark, opaque black. The second bottle was pale. It was a shade or two more gray, but without much shading. Very disappointing. I understand there's intentional variability across batches of ink, but. clearly, there was just too much of a change here.
