Hello.

Here you have the result of a little experiment. The experimente was made by a friend of me (Tirozetas) and I.

These are the inks:

 


  •  
  • - Sailor Jentle Ink
  • - Sailor Black (Kiwaguro)
  • - Omas Black
  • - Caran d'Aceh Carbon
  • - Mont Blanc Black
  • - Mont Blanc Mystery Black
  • - Namiki
  • - J.Herbin Perle Noire
  • - Parker Quink
  • - Diamine Onyx Black
  • - Aurora Black
  • - Pelikan 4001
  • - Rohrer & Klingner Lieipziger Schwarz

 

 

The result is surprising. I have discover new good black inks, like Sailor & Caran d'Ache.

 

 

A family photo of the inks before the experiment.

I have tried to adjust the photo to make the colors as real as possible ::blush::

 

 

 

In this pic I have poor some ink into a kitches paper. The diferent colors of the composition appear over this paper. The ink samples are in the same positon as the photo before.

This photo is the result of pooring water over the samples.

Here the Kiwaguro looks great.

 

 

 

 

Hope you like it. :thumbup:

A really good comparison test - well done! It's good to see one of my favourites - Pelikan 4001 - in there!

From your experiment, I cannot see any difference between Mont Blanc Black and Mont Blanc Mystery Black. They seem to have the same characteristics.

Wonderful thread and comparative superb black inks, Pomperopero and Tirozetas, included the vast majority of blacks can be found here in Spain.

I would like to see similar work on other colors of the spectrum. A big hug friends.

Hello Mr Ink.

I have made a bigger post in Spanish explaining many other diferences that cannot be seen in the photos. Is hard to show the diferences in photos and even more to explain with my little english :embarrassed_smile:

 

Mont Blanc Black is a little more darker than Mystery Black and dries faster. The Mystery Black looks mate and the old one in more brilliant. The lubrication in Mystery Black is better. Both of them are good ink and both of them can be cleaned and erased easily.

I prefer Mystery Black. :thumbup:

 

Hope I have help you.

My unscientific guess is that they are the same ink...

 

Excellent experiments, both! Well done!

Thank you, Pomperopero. That is very clear and helpful indeed.

Well done pompero (I miss the last pic of the show :roflmho: )

 

I think, for us, the great surprise was Caran d'Ache carbon black. Very nice dark, enough water resistant...i'm using it these days in mi Sailor 1911 and works very well.

But maybe kiwaguro was the winner in the overall. Is not so black, looks "carbon", but more than enough dark, makes writing very soft, and it's very uniform (no shades). And it's water resistance is very very high.

Thanks for this test! You did a great job. I'm really impressed with the Perle Noire, I didn't expect that to do well at all.

      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
