TWSBI Black Fountain Pen Ink

[@AnInkGuy]

Here are the direct links to J Herbin Rose Cyclamen, an ink that I think is a great complement: kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5japmmOhpqah80

[@AnInkGuy]

This doesn’t mean I think the best complement is itself a great ink, just that it is a nice complement color. I am not running giveaways and I will not ask you for money. Watch out for scammers and spammers, and they want to steal your money and personal information.

[@nilsmafr]

Your eye for color complement inks are really impressive!

[@AnInkGuy]

Oh thank you!

[@dameanvil]

You have probably said in one of your videos, but I want to cheat: which are the bottles of black ink you have in your collection? The ones you like, not the ones you forgot to throw away.

[@AnInkGuy]

Iroshizuku Take-Sumi Noodler's Heart of Darkness Noodler's Dark Matter Visconti Black Platinum Carbon Black

[@dameanvil]

@@AnInkGuy Wow! Thank you. Great selection.

[@AnInkGuy]

@@dameanvil There are tons of great black inks, those ae just the ones I have a bottle of.

[@dameanvil]

@@AnInkGuy Right. I went for Montblanc Permanent Black instead of Carbon Black. With a stub nib it makes the writing seem much sharper. The only other ink I have with the same quality if the Platinum Blue Black (don't know for sure which one, as they seem to have two or three blue-blacks)

[@AnInkGuy]

@@dameanvil Montblanc Permanent Black is a great performing permanent ink... Such a good choice!

[@kiraniumbra]

This is a middle of the road black ink. I keep it in a cheap pen for notes around house for the family.

[@AnInkGuy]

Fair! I have inks that I use for all my "Disposable" Notes. Sometimes just to use up an ink I wouldn't buy a second bottle.

[@miksmi]

Adam, you mentioned you already have 3 black inks you like. What are they? Props on another extreme take on inks!

[@AnInkGuy]

Pilot Take-Sume Noodelr's Dark Matter Edelstein Onyx

[@miksmi]

@@AnInkGuy Thanks, now to go watch more of your videos! 😆

[@AnInkGuy]

@@miksmi Awesome... Enjoy! Just don't buy all the inks.

[@miksmi]

@@AnInkGuy 😂 Nah, "just one". But you can be a bad influence...

[@nitina8564]

I used up a bottle of this ink and was happy to use it yet never felt the need to buy another one.

[@AnInkGuy]

I get it... it happens, perfectly happy with an ink, but you ae then just simply ready to move onto another.

[@mch2359]

Concerning the handwriting. Do you recall in grade school being taught to keep your hand moving nonstop across the page? I have always had an impossible time doing that and my writing gets all scrunched up before I move my hand. I noticed you move your hand after each word and that is a good thing. Have you tried continuous movement of your hand?

[@AnInkGuy]

I have accepted at this point in my life that my writing is what it is... I just do know there are good days and bad days for me, often because of other factors during the day.

[@Calcprof]

I also have several bottles of black ink I really like. - Aurora, Sailor pigmented black, Noodlers, and the new Platinum super black. Hobbit.

[@miksmi]

@Calcprof The Platinum Chou Kuro looks great but quite expensive. Do you find the pigmented inks troublesome (e.g., difficult to clean or a require pen flush solution)?

[@Calcprof]

@@miksmi I’m careful to put pigmented ink into pens that are easy to clean. Mostly cartridge converter pens. So no real issues.

[@miksmi]

@@Calcprof Thanks for your insights.

[@AnInkGuy]

Just tough for a "new" ink to break through when there are som many great ones out there.

[@nope8535]

It works it's good, still going to go with Noodler's black though.

[@AnInkGuy]

I don't blame you. Noodler's black is a solid ink!

[@theoriginalrabbithole]

TWSBI Black(believe it or not! 😳) and Noodler's Black are always the 'blackest of the blacks', when compared to ALL other ink swatches in side by side comparisons with every other black pen ink on the market without exception.

[@AnInkGuy]

I 100% agree with you, though ignore the swatch which was a horrible representation of this ink.

[@graphictouch]

Dear Sir, I saw your ink review both twsbi black and diamine onyx black. Can you help me mentioning which one is deeper black,and better for fountain pen. Thanks.

[@AnInkGuy]

Of the two I prefer the Diamine Onyx.

[@graphictouch]

Dear Sir, Can you suggest me about to choose an ink, i,e; 1) Noodler’s polar black, 2) Diamine onyx black, 3) Sailor black and 4) TWSBI black; among these four which one is deeper black and suitable for fountain pen. I will be waiting for your feedback pls.

[@AnInkGuy]

The Diamine inks are always a solid choice, from that list I would go with the Diamine Onyx.
