A Black Standard

Each ink is different, but I find Aurora Black, Pelikan Edelstein Onyx, and Pelikan Brilliant Black 4001 to be the best blacks in the business. I enjoy all the wonderful selections and service The Goulet Pen Company provides--where else can you order and test inks to your heart's content?

Well-behaved silky black

This is a dark, velvety/silky black that has great flow and behaves beautifully on all kinds of paper. It's my go-to black. Do not be misled by the reasonable price and the modest packaging. This is good stuff.

A very well-behaved black

Pure black with just a bit of shading from by broad nibs. Dries fast, flows smooth. A solid ink for a reasonable price. My new daily black.

splendid ink!

so you think pelikan is your everyday not-too-fancy ink, and think it'd just be nice... but you couldn't be more wrong. great, great flow (used with MB 149 EF) - very subtle, so writing is very nice and fine. fast to dry, uniformed black, no feathering. really great ink

A Great Black-Black Ink

This is my go-to ink for everything from writing, drawing, and doodling. For me it is as black as india ink without clogging my pens.

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.

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.
