Decided to take the plunge and finally do an ink review! I linked to two photos, one as a scan and one as a photo. The scan shows that the ink is much darker than it actually is. If you look carefully, BBM has a very very slight greyish tinge to it that J. Herbin Perle Noire does not. Unfortunately, I do not know how to colour-correct scans at this time. So, I hope that the scan and the photo will be more helpful together. That being said, BBM is very similar to Heart of Darkness, nearly identical to my eyes. Perle Noire and Bulletproof Black are more of a blacker black than either BBM and HOD. If you're looking for a very black black that is bulletproof, I'd stick with the standard Bulletproof Black, but I like my blacks with a tinge of grey, so I like the BBM myself.

 

One thing that I forgot to add in the review is that Bad Black Moccasin is in the bulletproof category.

 

ETA: The ink comparisons were done with a glass dip pen.

How do you avoid getting water or other liquids on your writing if you have some much trouble getting ink on yourself?

Excellent review, I'll never be able to write like that though...

 

Have enjoyed using this as my exclusive black ink for 3 months, a little water thrown in and it works on any paper I have handy.

Another well done review, thank you.

Can you tell me about the Double A paper you used? We seem to have a report here in the forums that there is a bleed-through issue with it. Your review said no bleed through. What was your take on the paper you used?

Take care,

Living in Louisiana I don't think I could ever bring myself to use an ink named "Bad Black Moccasin". We have enough of those things crawling around already! Enjoyed the review, though.

There was absolutely no bleed-through at all with this paper and this review. I was going to scan the back of the paper, but I realized it would be a pointless scan.

 

The Double A paper that I got was from Office Max. I got a box of 5 reams on sale a few months ago. I'll try to take a photo of the box tonight. I really like this paper. It's very smooth without being too heavy or too thick. I haven't used it extensively yet, so I can't really comment on how often bleed-through occurs with various inks at the moment. However, another review that I did with Noodler's St. Patty's Eire highlighting ink exhibited a lot of bleed-through. But, I used the felt-tipped highlighting pen that came with the bottle.

I love your organized approach. Still not sure about the ink though.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
